Perfect Weekend in a Medieval City
This is a perfect location, spacious and clean. Gian Luca took us directly to the apartment just around the corner from the main Piazza. It is up a flight of stone stairs, and may have originally been in a medieval tower. This pristine apartment is modern with historical highlights in the wood ceiling beams and some exposed walls. It was very practical for 4 people (2 couples or 4 friends or family.) There are 3 full modern bathrooms and the 2 king beds are firm and comfortable. Towels are plenty and bath soap/shampoo for your convenience. Kitchen amenities for coffee, basic cooking and preparing lunch were adequate. The internet connection was clear. On the night we stayed watching the new Pope's speech, we used the TV. We had trouble logging in but Gian Luca was very prompt in responding and answered our questions immediately.Parking is a small challenge but we managed to find a space only 4 blocks away. We met up with Gian Luca at the Santa Maria Gate. We suggest be more specific and meet at Momus Cafe' in Santa Maria Piazza. This way you could order a coffee, use the WC and wait at a chair and table. This location is ideal for touring the city of Lucca. The Roman Amphitheater is 2 minutes away. Shopping on Via Fillungo has local artisans of leather, silks (Zazzi store) and other souvenir places. The churches are very close and of course, you must attempt to walk the entire Le Mura (the city walls). We will stay here again when we return to Lucca!
