'Palazzo Orsini' is part of a busy street within a lively part of central Lucca. Locals cycle along the street on their way to work or to do the shopping and tourists wander along with maps in their hands. Immediately on hand there are bars, restaurants, shops, churches and museums.
Within the apartment itself, visitors walk into an entrance hall where a certain style is immediately established. The apartment has a parquet floor throughout, antique furniture and original paintings on the walls.
Immediately ahead of the entrance is the bedroom, a very pleasant room with double bed, nice furniture and a view across the roofs of Lucca from the window. The small passageway on from the entrance hall has the shower room and toilet on the left and then leads into the living / dining room. This is most attractive, with paintings on the wall, simple (in the best sense of the word) antique furniture and again, a view from the window.
All this not forgetting two sofas for relaxing, one of which doubles as a sofa bed.
The living room leads into a separate, well-equipped 'galley' kitchen. This has well chosen features, like an original stone sink, pots and pans hanging on the wall and modern hob and oven.
Altogether Casa Flora is most attractive and is ideal for a couple who are looking to enjoy Lucca from an apartment that is also delightful in its own right. The stairs up are a relatively easy climb, compensated for by having the views across the roofs and bell-towers of Lucca.
