Additional Information



Description inside property: Apartment with garden and parking, 5 minutes walk from the historical centre of Lucca .

Located on the second floor of a two floor villa, this two room flat is fully furnished for a comfortable holiday stay including also a private parking and an own garden where is possible to relax on the sunchairs getting a suntan or enjoying the shadow of a big tree. The apartment has plenty of quality storage space for clothes. Comfortable firm bed. Kitchen has two radiant hobs with built-in fridge and a little grill/warmer.
Surrounded by other villas with gardens, the house is located at the end of a short private street in a beautiful and quiet residential area close to the Nottolini aqueduct, an impressive 19th century monument built with 400 arches.

This area is the best place from which to enjoy a stay in Lucca because the centre and the train station are both easily accessible by foot or bicycle and since it is now almost impossible for anyone except residents to drive a car into the city centre you could leave your car inside the villa's gate and start your visit by walking, travelling in a horse drawn carriage or riding a bicycle around the romantic and massive walls surrounding Lucca enjoying the incredible views over the city.

An urban area of very ancient origin, Lucca's recorded history dates back to its days as a Roman municipality. It is an important city for art and culture, including a vital historic centre of extraordinary beauty and interest, and conserving, almost intact, its compact urban network of houses, towers, medieval churches, Renaissance palaces and 19th-century piazzas. A market of antique pieces takes place in the city every 3rd weekend a month and it is an attraction for thousands of people. You will find furniture, sculptures, marble, watches and jewellery in these shops and at the market.

Description outside property: As Lucca is centrally located, this flat is also a wonderful base for a couple wanting to spend a holiday exploring Lucca and other cities in Tuscany such as Florence (70 km), Pisa (20 km), and Siena (110 km). Nearby is also the sea-side region of Versilia, with the famous resorts of Viareggio (20 Km) Torre del Lago - the lake of Giacomo Puccini - (15 km) and Forte dei Marmi (25 km) with its spectacular marble quarries, the Apuan Alps (60 Km) and the wonderful mountainous region of Garfagnana, that includes absolute jewels like the medieval village of Barga (35 Km).
The Lucca train station is reachable in a 3 minutes walking.

It is the capital of the province of the same name in northwestern Tuscany. It is an important city for art and traditional culture, presenting a vital historic centre of extraordinary value, which has conserved, almost intact, the compact urban network of houses, towers, medieval churches, Renaissance palaces and 19th-century piazzas.Lucca is one of the few towns which has maintained its ancient town walls intact.
It’s impossible to describe Lucca and its beautiful surroundings in a few words.It would be nice to start your visit by walking , travelling in a horse drawn carriage or riding a bicycle on the powerful romantic walls (3 miles long, twelve metres high and thirty wide) enjoying the incredible view of the town . Lucca is rich in churches precious as jewels and brimming with ancient towers and buildings. Strolling along the shady downtown streets, one can breathe the true atmosphere of Lucca and enjoy the reserved but courteous character of the Lucchese. In the narrow streets, lined with ancient shops and artisans’ studios, the daily life of the city is palpable, hard working and lively.
