The swirling detail of Clock Tower along trendy Via Fillungo feels close enough to touch from the windows of the apartment set in the shadow of San Michele Church. While the flat is simpler than the ornate Romanesque marbles of the Cathedral, the home is elegant in its own right, with parquet floors, tall windows, Carrara Marble showers and state of the art interiors and kitchen appliances.
Open the windows and let the vibrant atmosphere float up from the streets and piazza, or turn on the dock station and listen to your favourite music while enjoying a Lucchese local wine with a view over the surrounding monuments. Though it’s surrounded by relics from centuries of Italy’s history, the apartment has touches of decidedly 21st-century lu-xury such as a smart TV, Wi-Fi, Washer + Dryer and air conditioning.
From an open-concept living and dining room a grand 14th century window frames the views of Via Fillungo once the gateway of silk trade across Europe in the middle ages and now the most iconic landmark of the town with its historical shops.
This vacation rental is located on the first floor and has 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms: 1 ensuite bathroom and 1 that shares access to a hall bathroom.
A stay at this apartment puts you in the heart of Lucca, with the Guinigi Tower, the Amphi-teatre, the Piazza Grande (also known as Piazza Napoleone), The Duomo, The concerts of Puccini at the Church of San Giovanni, the Walls, safe car parkings, the train station and the bus station just a 5-minute walk or less from your doorstep. Linger outside in the square in the evenings and listen to the orchestras extemporizing Classical Music Arias, or relive your honeymoon on a horse carriage ride. If you’ve brought the whole family on holiday, you’ll appreciate the shops, deli and groceries, bars and pastry shops within easy reach.

About the area
Lucca, Italy, is a captivating city that embodies the quintessential charm of Tuscany. Enclosed by well-preserved Renaissance walls that have been transformed into a pedestrian promenade, the city invites visitors to step back in time and explore its historical treasures at a leisurely pace.
The heart of Lucca is its old town, a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, picturesque piazzas, and elegant buildings. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, a unique elliptical square, is a highlight, built on the ruins of an ancient Roman amphitheater. Visitors can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the piazza, which is lined with cafes and shops, perfect for sipping a cappuccino and people-watching.
Lucca's rich history is showcased in its numerous churches, the most famous being the San Michele in Foro with its stunning façade and the Lucca Cathedral (Duomo di San Martino), which houses remarkable artworks and the revered Volto Santo di Lucca, a wooden crucifix. The city's religious heritage is further celebrated during the Luminara di Santa Croce festival, where Lucca is illuminated by thousands of candles in a breathtaking display.
For those with a taste for adventure, climbing the Guinigi Tower offers a rewarding experience. The tower is notable for the ancient oak trees growing atop its roof, providing a unique vantage point over the city and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
Music enthusiasts will find Lucca especially endearing as it is the birthplace of the famous composer Giacomo Puccini. The Puccini Museum, located in his childhood home, is a pilgrimage site for opera lovers, and the city hosts an annual summer festival celebrating his works.
Beyond its historical and cultural offerings, Lucca is also a gateway to the Tuscan landscape, with opportunities for cycling and hiking along the Serchio River or through the nearby hills. The city's culinary scene is equally enticing, featuring traditional Tuscan cuisine, fine wines, and local specialties like Buccellato, a sweet bread that is a Lucca staple.
Lucca's blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, combined with its relaxed atmosphere and friendly locals, makes it a destination that offers a truly authentic Italian experience. Whether you're seeking to immerse yourself in history, enjoy the arts, or simply indulge in the pleasures of Italian life, Lucca is a city that will capture your heart and leave you longing to return.
