About this property

Lucca Holiday Rental Apartment in the historical medieval old town

The apartment (of about 80 sq. meters) is at a 1st floor (not ground floor) of an old palace. It is suitable for max. 3 adults + one kid. It is well equipped and nicely furnished. In the kitchen there is a dishwasher, microwave, oven, electric cooker hob, fridge etc. Not far from the shopping area, the apartment is located in the heart of the historical centre of Lucca, Medieval area.
The city centre is extremely well preserved and the apartment is well situated inside the city walls in a building in the historical heart of the old town.
This is a new, beautifully renovated charming flat with all its original features intact. It has a bright, elegant reception room with dining table for 6, satellite T.V. and Wi-Fi.
The location of this property makes the flat quite unique: It is in a very up-market area of Lucca, literally minutes from the legendary Amphitheater and some of the best shops, cafes, bars and pubs. If you enjoy walking or riding bikes, there are some great walks on the Lucca walls. In the summer it is great fun ambling around watching groups playing softball and having picnics or using the wall restaurants and enjoying concerts. There is a rent place with bikes to hire just around the corner from the flat.
The train and bus services take you everywhere you will want to go and it is such a fun way of seeing the country from the bus/train! Transport to and from the airports is very easy.
PISA AIRPORT : bus takes approx. 45 minutes.
FLORENCE AIRPORT: express bus, which runs a. every 60 minutes, takes 60 minutes.
Additional unregistered guests (i.e. those that have not been made known to owner at the time of booking) are not permitted without prior approval of the owner.
The apartment is to be used exclusively for residential purposes. Parties, business meetings, photo/film shootings, etc. without prior approval are prohibited.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE
Plastic bottles are a big problem in our towns – as they tend to clog our waste bins allover Lucca - . We suggest our clients not to buy water in plastic bottles. The taps water in Lucca is perfectly drinkable (controlled by the City Authority) and there are many “fontanelle” (public water taps) allover the town, for instance the fountain at the beginning of Via della Zecca, with high quality tap water coming from the near hills and mountains.
The owner is personally involved through membership with several environmental activity organization.
Choosing my apartment in Lucca or Pietrasanta make you also an environmentally sensible choice.

Lucca Stay

Tommaso was an excellent and attentive host who went above and beyond. The location was excellent as well and made it easy to find my way around. A small note-The rooms were scented which was not an issue for me but may be for someone allergic to fragrances. You may wish to check with Tommaso.beforehand.

A perfect ending

After a month in Italy, we finished with Tomasso’s wonderful help. He was patient and kind when we had online trouble from our end. He was flexible, accommodating, and in a very short time, felt like an old friend to us. We hope to see him again. Lucca was beautiful and alive. We adore Italy and hope to return.

This apartment was the highlight of our Italy locations. Tomasso was so very helpful to us and even gave us a brief history of the city. The apartment had everything you could think of, including original, signed art on the walls. The apartment was close to everything! Lucca is a special place. We will be back!

Spacious apartment, centrally situated

The apartment is situated in the old area inside the walls. It is very spacious and equipped with all necessary amenities. It is a good starting point to explore the marvellous inner city with all impressive sights as well as all the narrow alleyways. We enjoyed our stay there very much. The only small disadvantage are the steep stairs, which may be a problem for tall people with hip or knee problems.

Lovely Tuscany home base in Lucca

My friend and I based our Tuscany holiday inside the walls of Lucca and loved every moment. Tommaso is a lovely host, pleasant and even offering us a ride from the train station and back with our luggage. The apartment is steps away from many excellent restaurants, shops and the walls. We rented bikes several days, as well as enjoying walks along the Lucca walls. Train station is only a 20 minute walk Or a short bus ride for excursions to Florence, Pisa, but our days in Lucca were probably our favourite. Thank you, Tommaso, for a lovely apartment stay and all your recommendations & helpfulness!

Summer in Lucca

Our stay with Tomasso was fantastic. He picked us up at the bus stop in Lucca and drove us to his apartment. Location is fantastic. Apartment is very well appointed and well stocked with kitchen basics. He told us about nearby restaurants and bars. He is charming and helpful and made us feel so welcome. At the end of our holiday he drove us to Pisa airport. We would definitely go back to his apartment. Thank you for a great holiday.

Pure Tuscany experience

We enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks to celebrate our 25th anniversary. This beautiful appartment located in the historic center of Lucca was perfectly equipped with everything we needed and even more. We felt at home right away. The appartment is perfect to explore Lucca in all it’s beauty. Everything is in walking distance (grocery shop, backery, the city walls, train station). Lucca is the perfect starting point to explore Tuscany‘s famous cities (like Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra or Pisa) and landscape. Also visiting La Spezia and Cinque Terre is absolutely possible. Tommaso, the friendly owner made sure that everything was cared for. Even before we arrived he invested time and effort that we find a place to park our car. He was eager to answer our questions and was very helpful. We plan already to come back. Mille Grazie!

Exceptional

The apartment is excellent,very roomy and comfortable for three people.It is well positioned being central, near so many lovely sites and with easy access to the wall which we walked in it's entirety. However it is the attentiveness of Tommaso the owner which makes this such an exceptional find. Not only were we collected and returned to the airport but we were treated to a tour of Pisa before we left. Thank you Tommaso we really did appreciate all your efforts. Hope to see you again one day. Pamela a beautiful town and well situated to visit so many beautiful places.

Family Trip in Lucca

PROS - inside the walls of Lucca, which is near all attractions - well equipped with everything one needs for a longer stay - Great butcher, coffee bars, pizzeria, kid’s playground nearby - Easy access to fortifications where one can go for great family walks - Natural spring water fountain down the street - Owner speaks good English and is easy to communicate with CON - Apartment feels very cold (March/April) and the heating solution (radiators) is not appropriate for a family with young children. We were told that there is some Italian regulation that prohibits raising the heating temperature above 19 deg C, which feels cold especially for a family with two young children. If one raises the temperature above 19 deg C the system is designed to cut off hot water. There is one air conditioning with a heat pump that can provide heating; however, this is only for the main room and while it is ON you can’t use any other appliances in the apartment as it will trip off the main breaker for electricity. We have travelled through out Italy and this is the first time experiencing limitation with heating - Electricity restrictions in the apartment that prevent you from using more than one appliance at a time. This should have been in the description of the apartment as it severely limits one’s ability to cook a decent meal in average time. For ex., using one stove top element and the oven at the same time trips the main breaker - Hot Water temperature is not regulated well

Our time in Lucca

My friend and I had a wonderful time in Lucca. Tomasso is a charming host, who met us at the train station and gave us a ride back there at the end of our stay. His apartment, thoroughly modern, in a building from the 13th Century is quite spacious for a stay of any length of time. Tastefully decorated. Quite convenient to small bakeries and grocery stores, as well as coffee shops and gift stores. Christine and I were able to walk to many attractions within the walled city; the location of the apartment, with the use of a map, is nice. Quiet at night. We liked it very much.

About the host

Hosted by Tommaso De Masi

Host profile image
Ex Manager for an American Company. Now retired. I love music, art and letterature. My wife (now retired) and my daughter are teachers (Italian, History , Latin and old Greek).
We are an open family who enjoys meeting people . Welcome to Lucca!!! We will be happy to share the love we have for our town and our country with people who have our same vision of interests, peace, elegance, respect and admiration for others' lives . We think that it is important to live the moments at its fullest, no looking back, no second guessing, moving forward as life is its most precious gift.

Why they chose this property

It was my first money investiment. I renovated it twice trying not to lose the original characteristics.

What makes this property unique

When my clients arrive they say that they feel at home. I am referring to my apartment before the total renovation. I suppose they will feel at home also now, after the renovation. I like helping people, coming from all over the world, to spend their holidays in Italy by offering them holiday accommodation and interesting and fun things to do, i.e. a , cultural or gastronomical tour, Italian lessons, cooking or painting courses or anything else they might want to do during their stay in my apartment.
My apartment could be the base for excursions to the old Tuscny towns. It is located near to restaurants, shopping are etc.
