Let me know when the property is finished

Great location - on main thoroughfare and handy to everything. Property will be much better when it is fully finished and fitted out. No wardrobes in any of the four bedrooms. Two rooms had no electric lights, and two or three of the bedrooms only had bedside lamps. No microwave (not essential). Many of the multitude of power points aren't connected to anything. Lounge areas only had a sofa and no side tables. Ikea dining chairs quite uncomfortable. Both bathroom basins only provide a trickle of water (although showers are fine). We were there for four weeks, so some of the things that might be considered minor became irritating as the stay went on. Especially all of the pillows on the beds (need replacing). A work in progress, perhaps? The owners do not live in Italy, and perhaps need somone to keep a better eye on their investment.

O.M.G. Best place ever.

This was an exquisite property located in the best place possible in Lucca - Via Fillungo, which is the main street. Don't be offput when you enter the door - it's a bit dark and foreboding, but once you climb the two floors to the apartment, it's a tottaly different story! Throw open the shutters and say hello to Lucca!

Difficult beginning and end but wonderful in the middle

Three of the four of us are over 75 years old We would never have rented an apartment that meant we had to climb up or down 46 steps every time we came or went. We got this information as a footnote on the 7th page of information after we had already booked. The experience of arriving with no instructions about parking, dragging our luggage for a 15 minute walk, and then seeing two flights of stairs to climb and drag luggage got us off to a very bad start. The rest of our time in Luca was great fun. The apartment is very comfortable and it is an easy walk to get around. The end of the visit that required getting luggage back down the 2 flights and dragging through the cobbled streets again was not easy. It would be a wonderful addition to the plans if there was an arrangement that we could pay for help the first and last day

Ideal Lucca location

First of all if you are considering Lucca - book it immediately. This tiny walled city and this apartment are now our favorite places in Italy. The apartment is so very cool. Located levels above the busy street full of people and commerce lays a well designed and super cool oasis. The beds are so comfy and the esthetic of the entire space is super cool. Easy to check in and out, amazing communication before and during the stay. If six stars were an option we would happily award higher marks. Can’t stress enough how the is a must book location!

About the host

Hosted by Darren and Julie

We are an Australian family who fell in love with Lucca. We stayed for 3 months and put our 3 kids into the local school and decided to buy a property in this beautiful part of Tuscany. Our children aged between 6 and 10 at the time loved the freedom of Lucca, being able to walk the streets or ride their bikes in the town or on the wall that surrounds the historical centre of town. Traffic within the walls of Lucca is very restricted and pedestrians and cyclists make up the bulk of traffic. Whilst our children were at school we forged some lasting friendships which draw us back to Lucca every year. For a family destination in this beautiful part of the world you will find nowhere better. Just an hour by train to Florence and all it has to offer and just a half hour bus trip from Pisa airport make Lucca easily accessible.

Why they chose this property

The apartment is right in the heart of the Historical centre of Lucca, within the walls and on the main street of Via Fillungo. Restaurants abound with a few hundred metres of the apartment and walking the streets is a sheer pleasure. the building itself, Casa Barletti Baroni is a local landmark and is steeped in history. So if you're a history buff or just love the unique experience of staying in a historical building look no further.

What makes this property unique

This 13th century building is directly opposite the "Torre del Ore" which is one of the last remaining towers in Lucca. The building itself is a sister tower to that tower and it is a historical landmark itself within Lucca. As you walk down via Fillungo you are drawn to the beautiful old glass windows of our building and many a photo has been taken of the beautiful façade. So if you're looking for a family getaway or just a getaway for yourself and friends then look no further.
