Lucca holiday apartment

This apartment is in a perfect location in the ancient part of Lucca, within the walls, and also within walking distance of the main bus and train stations. The accommodation is well presented, very comfortable and full of character. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers and needed 2 bedrooms and this property gave us 2 spacious bedrooms and a full very elegant new bathroom. The kitchen and dining area was useful, although the restaurants nearby were good and in a couple of minute walking. All the rooms overlooked the garden through a very large french window; this gave us a great light and beautiful views from our living room and bedrooms. The apartment is on the ground floor, and of course no steps made our way back to the apartment simply comfortable. Owners were very kind and helpful and gave us useful tips about places to eat etc. Their help and interest in our plans really enhanced the holiday.
We felt very safe and secure in the apartment and the streets around the old city, both during the day and in the evening. Having said that, we enjoyed the kindness of strangers many times during our week, including the bus driver who charged no extra, made an unscheduled stop and gave us directions after we failed to get off at the right place.
Every where we walked we found places to visit even if Lucca is so small and you can cross the town in just 15 mins walking! There are huge numbers of places to visit within a 2 to 20 minute walk of the apartment. The church oppostite and adjoining cloisters, for example are a gem as are the museum and underground streets at the top of the road. You will need to take a good guide book with you because there really is an over-abundance of sightseeing to do. Our teenagers are both under 18 and many places we visited had free or half price entry for them, as long as we showed their passports as proof of age.
We would gladly recommend the apartment to friends and also return ourselves to explore all the places we didn't have time to see on this visit.
