Description
As you enter, be greeted by an inviting living area and a well-appointed kitchen on the ground floor, seamlessly opening onto a serene inner Renaissance garden. This tranquil oasis offers inspiring views and make the apartment the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Ascend to the upper floor, where two bedrooms await, each adorned with original vaulted ceilings dating back to the 1400s, blending historic charm with modern comfort.
This exquisite apartment masterfully combines elegant architectural details with contemporary amenities, creating a living space that is both luxurious and steeped in history. Embrace the unique opportunity to reside in a place where the past and present harmoniously coexist, offering a truly inspirational lifestyle.
Step into a piece of history with this enchanting apartment, nestled within a noble palace once owned and commissioned by the illustrious Arnolfini family in the 1400s. The Arnolfinis, renowned bankers from Lucca, built their legacy through the vibrant silk trade with the Flanders. Their enduring legacy is immortalized in Jan Van Eyck's celebrated masterpiece, "The Arnolfini Portrait," now gracing the walls of the National Gallery in London. Living here, you not only embrace a smart and convenient home but also a rich tapestry of history, art, and elegance.

The apartment is in a perfect location. The Botanical Garden and an entrance to the wall is literally a 3 minute walk away. Great cappuccino and pastry shop around the corner. Casa Eleonora provided everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked (except for a microwave), bedrooms were large and comfortable, and the living room and bathrooms were great. Washer AND dryer so appreciated. From the second we booked, any questions we had were answered promptly. Communication was excellent. Thanks, Manuel! Lucca is a gem and Casa Eleonora made our month long stay perfect!

We would have appreciated a microwave so much! And maybe new plush cushions in the dining area.

Lucca is indeed a gem, and we’re delighted that Casa Eleonora helped make your stay perfect. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back soon! A presto! |

The apartment is simply perfect! The location is fantastic, every attraction is within reach and very class to the city walls. We loved to stroll around during night time, it is the best. The house is very big and comfy. I really liked the 2 bathrooms, it was super convinient. Also there is a third toilet in the basement, we used it only one time, which is not much but it sure comes in handy. The kitchen is fully equipped, we used it mainly for breakfast since we were out most of the day. Super recommend the stay here! ITA Che dire, perfetto! Lo consiglio a tutti. le due camere da letto sono spaziose e avere due bagni è davvero molto comodo. C'è anche un terzo bagno (la lavanderia in realtà), lo abbiamo usato solo una volta ma è una piccola aggiunta che fa comodo in caso di necessità. La cucina è piccola ma completa, diciamo che cucinare in due è quasi impossibile. Non abbiamo avuto particolari problemi visto che la giornata eravamo fuori e facevamo quasi solo le colazioni in casa. Consiglio vivamente a tutti! Location perfetta e giardino interno bellissimo. |

Thank you, Sonia, for a very nice stay! The apartment has a wonderful layout, with many different levels for sleeping. The lower floor has a laundry room and a half bath, along with a small room with a twin bed. The next floor is where you enter and the living room is small, but very comfortable. A few steps up take you to a very nice kitchen which had some basics such as tea and instant coffee which was welcomed. From the hall off the kitchen, you have a choice between the spiral stairs which leads to the ensuite bedroom and bath,at the other end of the hall, and a few steps down, to a very large bedroom with the bathroom just outside the door in the hallway. The entrance is from a courtyard which cuts down on street noises. A beautiful place with a very friendly and helpful manager, Sonia. She went out and bought bikes for us as they had apparently been stolen! There is a staircase which leads to the garage from the courtyard and it is safe to leave the bikes there. The location is only a block from the wall, with a ramp there for access to the path on the top of the wall. That is also the way to get to the train station, which is an easy walk, even with luggage.

The apartment was very clean and spacious. Mrs. Sophia was very helpful and on time for our arrival. The apartment is on a quiet street away from the noise and traffic of the center of town but easy walking distance to everything. The entrance to our apartment was on a lovely inside courtyard with a locked entryway from the street being the only way to get to our door. There are three bedrooms and three baths. We used the main bedroom and bath just off the living room and kitchen. The upstairs bedroom has its own bath but you have to use a daunting spiral staircase to get up to that level. The basement bedroom appears to be rarely used. There is a washer and dryer on the basement level. The dryer took a long time to dry clothes probably because the vent needed cleaning. We couldn't figure out how to do that. The main bath and bedroom require a small flight of stairs up from the main floor and the bedroom is down some stairs from the bath.That was not a problem but could be if you have trouble with steps. The bathroom is big enough but the shower leaks on the floor and drains very slowly. The kitchen is very nice although we didn't cook. We did keep things in the refrigerator for snacks and breakfast.
The only problem we had was that the wifi only worked about half the time, usually stopping mid day and coming back on in the middle of the night. We tried rebooting the router but that did not appear to be the problem. Also we could not figure out to get broadcast stations on the TV. There was one video for the DVD player and interestingly enough it was the Diane Lane movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". The town is just beautiful and we had a great time. |

We were delighted to spend our holiday in this handsomely decorated, spotlessly clean, stylish and elegant accommodation in central Lucca.
The apartment is situated in a quiet leafy lane but within a stones throw of busier streets and all the historical attractions in this lovely medieval city. Mrs Sonia, the representitive who met with, and dealt with us was charming, friendly, helpful and kind. If you were holidaying during the week in term time, you may be as fortunate as we were to be awakened by the soothing sounds of beautiful classical music emanating from the music school nearby. We particularly enjoyed the Puccini music concerts held in the church of San Giovanni every day of the year and the wide choice of reasonably priced, good standard restaurants all over the city. We would be delighted to recommend this property and this company to any of our friends wishing to visit Tuscany. Jane |

This is a wonderful place to stay in Lucca if you are there for a weekmore (and it is certainly a city worth spending time in). Being on the ground floor but not directly on the street level was perfect for my age. The flat itself has everything you could want, the bathroom has a good shower and is all decorated with Italian marble. It also has a washing machine and clothes dryer. The sitting room is very comfortable, with quality couches, and those amazing views over the antique garden. There is useful reading material in English about Lucca. And importantly, the beds, large and in separate bedrooms with good cupboard space is also very comfortable. Both the bedrooms are spacious and effective, we found the apartment ideal for our group of 4 for our 2 winter weeks. The upstairs bedroom has a gorgeous windows overlooking the garden and an ensuite bathroom with grand shower. The highlight for us was the location. There is a high quality grocery/delicatessen/wine shop practically next door (to the right from the front door) selling the best of Tuscan produce, and a very large supermarket tucked away downstairs in an arcade to the left just a minute's walk away. We tried a variety of local restaurants, and preferred the unpretentious osteria which offer limited menus of good home style Tuscan cooking and decent house wine for very reasonable prices. Lucca is a small city, and all its major attractions are within an easy stroll of the apartment. It also makes a good base to explore the Tuscan countrysidefor a day trip to Florence. Not having a car we booked a day trip with local guide, Donatella, to visit some wineries on the hills to try the famous Lucca wines. This was a great day out with a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. Overall, we highly recommend a stay in this Lucca flat.
