Lucca holiday apartment. Nice apartment with garden only a few steps from the city walls

For tourists and residents it has become nearly impossible to reach the centre by car and therefore, this area is a very good alternative to enjoy a stay in Lucca. The city of Lucca, within the rich soil along the Serchio River, between the Apuan Alps and the Mount Pisano, is surrounded by the 16th century city walls that are entirely preserved and of 4.2 km length. Six city gates to access behind the walls, where the visitor meets centuries old palazzos, towers and bell towers, situated along narrow paved alleys that sometimes open towards one of those characteristic piazzas of which the most renowned is 'Piazza dell'Anfiteatro'. Everywhere shops, small cafés, wine bars, restaurants and taverns, inviting you to taste the typical cooking of the Lucca area, made of simple ingredients, connected with the season. The dishes are accompanied by the local wine full of taste. The centre invites to visit the numerous churches and museums.

Watching over Lucca from above, from one of the towers, one can enjoy an enchanting panorama over the red roofs, with lots of green and the summits of the Apuan Alps in the background. As Lucca is well connected through the rail network it is possible to visit other Tuscan towns without car. Pisa, Viareggio (and the Versilia coast), Montecatini and Pistoia can be quickly reached. Within approximately half an hour it is possible to reach Florence. Aldo and Cinzia can organize for you a shuttle service from/to the airport, you can participate at wine tastings at on of the wineries in the hills around Lucca, taste olive oil (Lucca's oil is renowned to be the best in the world), make cooking and Italian courses, discover the beautiful nature in the Garfagnana area or go riding.

An enjoyable day can be spent waling the 4 km circuit of the walls ... so deep are they that they are topped by parks and gardens, and are very popular with joggers, cyclists and sightseers. And when you descend to the town within, you'll find pedestrians and cyclists again take precedence over the motor car - this is a lovely town to stroll, enjoy and relax.
