About this property

Description of the apartment:
in the city center of Lucca, fully air-conditioned, 105 mq = 1130 ft²,
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, perfect up to 6 adults, baby beds can be added.
A flaw, it has no elevator.
Equipped kitchen living / dining room

Ottolini Palace is a typical medieval building, built as a "tower house". The apartment is on the third floor of the historic building of the second half of the fourteenth century. It is located in the center of the city, including the Tower of the hours and the Guinigi Tower, in a quiet area with little traffic.

The apartment has the typical Lucchesi floors with colorful hexagons and ancient terracotta, old decorations and more in tune with the era of the house.
The apartment is on the third floor and is accessed by the old stairs. It consists of a large living-dining room with adjoining open kitchen (toaster, dishwasher, gas hob, oven, kettle, etc.), a bedroom with double bed with dresser; a bedroom with double bed, walk-in closet and private bath; a bedroom with two single beds and wardrobe.
The apartment is bright and airy, with views of the Tower of hours.
In all rooms there is air conditioning and heating, and you'll manage the temperature according to your needs, so it is the only additional cost that I require you, calculated according to consumption at the end of your stay.
Both bathrooms are in perfect condition and have a shower.
As you can read in the reviews, the apartment is on the third floor and there are several stairs to do, I can tell you, I do I do them several times a day and I feel that I do well.
If you arrive by car, parking is located about 900 meters outside the city walls, and if I can I can come and take my car to help you transfer your luggage.
The main street with shops, restaurants, ice cream shops and local produce is just around the corner.
Under the house there is an excellent restaurant and opposite a typical small bar with wine and small plates, a few steps a small supermarket.
In the pictures you can see an open room with table and chairs, it is a terrace but a landing of the stairs where you can relax drinking or smoking.

Spacious and comfortable apartment with very central location

We stayed here for four nights and found this apartment very appealing. It’s location is right in the middle of the old town and we could start our exploring of the city immediately every day. It is AC in all three sleeping rooms and in the living room. That’s most appreciated. It’s quite a few steps up to the apartment. The pictures in the ad are accurate. The owners are very helpful. Enjoy your stay, we did.

The perfect lucca location

Brilliant location. Located right next to the main shopping street, and amfitheatro. Just a short walk to the main piazzas and a handy supermarket 1 minute walk away. It was a quietly situated apartment. There are 72 steps up to the apartment but well worth the exercise. It was comfortable and very clean and the sleeping arrangements were perfect for a party of 5. Plenty of space to relax. Francesco and Monica were most helpful and friendly, the enquiries we did make they were able to sort out straight away. We would highly recommend the apartment to everyone visiting beautiful Lucca. We would definitely stay again if we come back.

"Beautiful historic house...

"Beautiful historic house in the heart of the old centre of Lucca - as an example, a picture of the house is actually included in the Bonechi Lucca 2005 guide book - as a "typical Lucca palazzo". Very friendly and warm wellcome from the owners - Francesco and Monica. The family has some very good local restaurant and other amenities recommendations. The Apartment itself is well maintained, nicely furnished and very clean - eg all the kitchen equipment seemed brand new. Quiet during the night and cool during the day thanks to the tick walls. Note however the apartment is on the third floor - quite some steps to take. We had a fantastic week in Lucca and definitely recommend anybody to stay here and use this apartment as a base for a visit to Tuscany."

Tolle Wohnung, sehr netter Vermieter

Wir wurden sehr entgegenkommend und hilfreich begrüßt. Der Sohn des Vermieters hat unser Gepäck von unserem Parkplatz außerhalb der Altstadt abgeholt. – Fahren Sie nicht in die Altstadt hinein ohne eine Ausnahmegenehmigung der Stadt Lucca! Das wurde für uns vor zwei Jahren sehr teuer! – Die Wohnung ist sehr alt mit vielen antiken Möbeln und Utensilien, aber modernen Neuinstallationen (Klimaanlage funktionierte bestens). Zwei Bäder, bei denen allerdings das Wasser langsam floss und die Mischung von kalt/warm nicht immer deutlich war. Die Küche war mit allem, was man sich wünschen kann, ausgestattet, gut in Schuss gehalten. Wir haben uns alle fünf sehr wohl gefühlt und wollen wiederkommen. Es gibt drei Schlafzimmer mit jeweils zwei richtigen Betten (gute Matrazen und Kissen). Vielen Dank, Familie Kissopoulos!

Gorgeous apartment in the very heart of Lucca’s historic centre

We absolutely loved our stay in this apartment. It was a comfortable and spotlessly clean apartment in the heart of Lucca. The apartment is set in an historic building and it was spacious, elegant and beautifully equipped. There were six of us, all adults, and we felt comfortable and not at all crowded. We chose it to spend Christmas there and we could not have found a better place. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook a four-course meal and, if we needed something (e.g. an extra tray or pot) our wonderful host was happy to provide it for us. The bedrooms were large and the beds very comfortable. The hot water was an instantaneous system so it never ran out and the place was well heated. There are air conditioners but, being the middle of winter, we did not need them. We loved our stay here. Although on the third floor (71 steps), it’s a wide staircase and manageable. The most difficult part was getting the suitcases up on our arrival and down on our departure, but Francesco and Matteo helped us with these, making a huge difference and solving our dilemma. Our host and his family were kind and attentive and there for us, when we needed them, but highly respectful of our privacy and space. We fell in love with Lucca and Francesco’s apartment will definitely be our place of choice, when we return. Thank you Francesco and Matteo for your excellent hospitality.

What makes this property unique

Please note in the photo section also the plan of the apartment, it can help you to have an immediate perception of how the various rooms are distributed, you will notice three real bedrooms, not obtained from mezzanines or other strange solutions, two have double beds and one has two single beds (no sofa beds, bunk beds or pull-out beds). The photos are taken with moderate use of the wide-angle lens to convey the perception of spaces in a real way. Then, consider that it is all air-conditioned, with the exception of entrance and bathrooms (the use of air conditioning or heating is a separate cost calculated according to consumption)
