This is a great location to explore Lucca and the rest of Tuscany. The house is clean, beds are comfortable and there is plenty of space.

Charming old house with modern bathrooms.

We all enjoyed staying here in Lucca at this lovely, well-maintained home. Hostess and her assistance were so helpful making sure we had information about the area so we could quickly find grocery stores, ATMs, and access the very convenient bus into Lucca and the train station. Location was convenient for day trips to Volterra, Pisa, Sienna, and Florence.

Lovely and clean and very well stocked. We were able to walk to the walled city of Lucca in 15 minutes and also to the car rental to pick up our car for the second half of our trip to Sienna. The supermarket was also very close . We also used the house bikes to ride the wall in Lucca. Really enjoyed staying here.

Excellent location, our family does not mind to walk and found the 15 to 20 minutes walk to the historic centre of Lucca an easy walk. Location is good, close to highway and good access to visit surrounding cities like Pisa, and Florence. Overall a very good 5 night stay.

Italy adventure

The accommodations were everything we expected. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms for three couples made this location ideal. It’s a bit of a walk to the walled city (20 minutes), but a bus goes to the walled tourist area from 1 block away and you can call a cab if you don’t feel like walking. Grocery store, phone store for SIM Card, and fruit store are all nearby. It was absolutely perfect for us. Guilia was accommodating and met us when we arrived. Stairs to second and third level were not an issue for us at all.

Lucca Stay

Patrizia was wonderful...very quick to respond and very helpful. The house was well-equipped. While it was not within Lucca walls, it was a very easy walk into town. The house had screens on the windows which was a big plus in Italy. We were there for 4 weeks so I made good use of the washer and dryer although I usually hung the clothes to dry. I liked the extra room for drying and ironing. At times, the WiFi was a bit unreliable but mostly worked well.

Very comfortable house in Lucca

We had a wonderful stay in Lucca. The house is very cosy, quiet and spacious. Shops are just around the corner, we loved the pizza's from l'Apizza, the bread from the bakery shop down the road and the icecreams. In the evenings we went for lovely strolls around the ancient city, to have a coffee, a grappa or an icecream or just to be amazed about the old streets, houses and squares. The supermarket is also close by, which is very convenient. It is also a very handy location to visit the region, for the motorway is very close by. Florence for instance was just a 45 minutes drive and you can even go to Sienna (which we did) in 1 and a halve hour. The owners are really helpful and flexible. Thanks a lot!

Convenient location to town and shopping. Bedrooms are on 3 floors.Steep stairwell.

Not recommended for patrons with limited mobility. Bedroom nicely appointed comfortable beds and good A/C Kitchen well equipped. Problem is the presence of mildew and mold on the first floor, coming from the laundry room. Odor and Stench would not go away in spite of cooking and baking often. But smell is not present on the upper floors. Host was punctual to receive us and helpful with ample information about the location.

Nice home properly fitted and in real good condition. Sad the location, as more out of the historical center than announced (1,2km), in a suburban environment. Bicycles were not all usable (brakes issues). Do not forget neither garden nor terasse if you visit Lucca during the spring/summer/fall: in March this was not an issue and we were informed

Odor

As soon as I walked in the smell hit me and I did mention this to the owner who was there. It was a strong musty smell. I stayed for an hour. Opened the living room and kitchen windows to see if that would help. Walked upstairs and the smell was there as well. I was getting a bad headache . We could not stay here for a 2 weeks so left and booked a hotel until we found other accommodations.

Wonderful stay in Lucca

My family of 5 enjoyed our 6-night stay at this beautiful home in Lucca. Each of the kids was able to have their own bedroom, which was a nice change from the hotels where we stayed during the rest of our vacation. The grocery store was very convenient and the kitchen was well-stocked, even though we ended up not cooking as much as we'd thought. Having both a washer AND dryer was great so that we could do some much needed laundry. We really appreciated the use of the bikes to ride into Lucca and around the walls. Parking was great for the first 4 nights but then someone came along and parked in front of the house the last two nights. We were able to find parking in the free parking lot just a short walk away so it wasn't a problem. We took the train in to Florence two days, drove to Pisa one morning, drove to Volterra another day and La Spezia/Cinque Terre another day. The location is very convenient to the train station and the Autostrade so it made a really nice home base. We loved Lucca and would love to return!

Worst VRBO ever

My family and I spent 6 weeks touring Europe and used VRBO properties everywhere. This was the worst one we have ever rented. The stairs are quite dangerous. They are steep and dark, the worst part is the light turns off automatically while going up them, when I questioned that, she said you can turn the light back on. Well my parents are in their 80s and one misstep on a dark stair could be a disaster. The pictures do not accurately depict the home. Even the one above is so misleading. It is not bright and airy. It is dark and dingy and smelled moldy. There are bars on the windows. It is a a horrible neighborhood, lots of dust and trash in the alley next door. There is no outdoor area at all. It is not close to nice restaurants. The air conditioners are anemic at best and we were told to turn them off if we weren't in the room. How do they expect it to stay even the littlest cool. We left without packing our bags. We took one of the keys with us in case we couldn't find anywhere else to stay. We did find a new place and I asked for a refund as the place was not at all as advertised and with the mold smell and stairs it was not a safe environment. She was very rude and said no way. In full disclosure I didn't get around to returning the key and of course did not fight her keeping the key deposit . Also be warned you will need to sign your life away on waivers, she had waivers I had never seen before in all my years of using VRBO.

Die Schlafzimmer waren klimatisiert, die Bäder waren ok, alles entsprach weitgehend der Beschreibung. Sehr positiv war, dass die Vermieter bei einem Problem mit der Klimaanlage tatsächlich innerhalb einer halben Stunde da waren, und alles repariert wurde. Fand ich toll.Auch sonst waren sie immer bei allen Fragen da und sehr gut und schnell erreichbar.Störend war ein fürchterlicher Geruch im Haus.Etwas zwischen Garage ( Fahrräder im Hauswirtschaftsraum- es erinnerte irgendwie an den Geruch von Reifen?) Feuchtigkeit…. Schwer zu beschreiben.Wir haben eine schöne Zeit in Lucca gehabt, hatten aber bei der Anmietung leider nicht darauf geachtet, dass keine Möglichkeit vorhanden war, draußen zu sitzen. Das war für uns bei der Anmietung eines ganzen Ferienhauses irgendwie zu selbstverständlich. Eindeutig unser Fehler.Wir waren mit unseren erwachsenen Kindern und deren Partnern unterwegs, sodass ein abendliches Zusammensitzen im Freien schön gewesen wäre. Also Decke schnappen, Wein und Brot und ab auf die Stadtmauer zum Picknick. War insgesamt betrachtet gut, aber nicht super. Würde ich dieses Haus noch einmal anmieten? Trotz der wirklich netten und immer hilfsbereiten Vermieter: Eher nicht.
