The famously luminous sunlight of Tuscany bounces off the antique streets and into CASA BARBRA apartment near the main shopping street Via Fillungo. Frescoed ceilings and marble chimneypiece speak to the city’s architectural history, but modern pieces place it in the now. It’s less than a 5-minute walk to both the medieval splendour of St.Michele Square and the famous Anfiteatro which are the Lucca landmarks as well as the Guinigi Tower, Antique Market, Train Station and public car Parking.
Luxury CASA BARBRA may feel like a centuries-old palazzo, but it boasts all the amenities of a modern home, from cable TV and Wi-Fi to air conditioning in each room and to a study room/biblioteque ideal for smart working away from office. A dishwasher makes light work of cleaning up after homemade feasts around the grand dining table, and laundry facilities make it easy to start fresh on each day of your stay.
Murano glass chandeliers hanging from wood-beamed ceilings and richly patterned area rugs on the floors give this vacation rental a sense of traditional grandeur. But there’s modern flair in the living and dining rooms, too, thanks to a sophisticated velvety patterns. And the fully equipped kitchen is all contemporary, featuring a wide selection of appliances and cooking utensils that will enhance the cooking experience like a pro.
A stay at CASA BARBRA makes it easy to explore the city. Walk 5 minutes to St. Giovanni Basilica where Puccini concerts are held every night inside the Romanesque Church, or just walk slightly over to enjoy a walk up on the Renaissance Walls, one of the most iconic sights in Lucca—if not in Italy—and admire both the swirling ornamentation and the crowds on the piazza Napoleone. The marble-faced Church of San Francesco, also 2 minutes away, is primarily a church but on the opposite side you can try the Lu.C.C.A. Center of Contemporary Art. Bring the family out in the square for a glass of local wine, or little bar bites, or relive your honeymoon over a lengthier dinner at a canal-side restaurant along Via del Fosso.
