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.
