Description
Engulfed by world-famous history, this regal, contemporary apartment with a lift is located on the second piano nobile of this Lucca-based palazzo dating back to the 1200s. Geometrical lines and French windows lead to private intimate rooms with tranquil views of the surrounding medieval buildings and the Guinigi Tower next door. Take a short, scenic walk to the Amphitheatre Square (the oldest Roman Arena today one of the most famous Italian landmarks) and discover a new favorite gelato or espresso spot.
Meet your loved ones for breakfast in the formal dining room while gazing upon the ancient buildings of Lucca that line Via Guinigi. Enjoy air conditioning and WiFi while deciding upon the day’s sightseeing plan. Or just hit the streets and wander. San Giovanni church with its bespoke Puccini Concerts, Piazza San Michele, San Martino Cathedral, and Corso Garibaldi are within 5 minutes.
A vibrant atmosphere drifts from one frescoed room to another at this beautifully restored piano nobile apartment in Lucca’s Medieval District. Set in the 12th-century Palazzo Guinigi, once the formal residence of the Lords of Lucca, the apartment offers a taste of life in an era of grand entertaining—along with plenty of modern comforts. It’s across from Via Fillungo and next to the Cathedral area, a few minutes walk from the city’s best-known sights.
The private living room overlooking the city is the perfect spot for an afternoon spritz and snack while watching the city pass by. The fully equipped kitchen is the perfect place for foodies while the grand dining table is ideal for experiencing cooking classes with a local chef thanks to the in-room kitchenette. Don’t miss the Venus bath: the medieval bathroom of the Lords is now converted into a SPA room featuring a Jacuzzi hot tub to pamper yourself in warm bubbling waters after a day of sightseeing.
The apartment’s double entrance leads to a pair of elegant salons that show off its scale and style, with original paintings twining up the walls and colorful frescoes gracing the ceilings. Today, they’re set up as a formal living and dining room whose wooden floors are covered with antique and modern furniture. Off the living area, find a fully equipped 21st-century kitchen, where light-colored cabinetry echoes the delicate tones of the frescoes in the other rooms.
The apartment's five bedrooms likewise balance a charming, bucolic elegance with chic modernist touches. 3 suites have king-size beds, one has 2 large-size twin beds and another one has two twin beds, all featuring ensuite bathrooms orned by Carrara marble from the Michelangelo cave.
Discovering Tuscany using a car or train can’t be easier: either safe car parking and the Lucca train station are between 5 and 10 mins walk away. From there you can explore the best-kept Italian secrets, such as Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Bolgheri, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, Livorno, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi, Chianti, Garfagnana and Siena.

The apartment was perfect for our family… 5 bedrooms and each with en-suite bath rooms. It was really two apartment…one a three bedroom and one a two bedroom. The three bedroom had a nice size kitchen, large living room and a whirlpool/spa! The two bedroom was more than adequate with a much smaller kitchen but a very large dining room and nice size living room. The apartment was on what we would call the 3rd floor but there was an elevator we used for luggage. Maybe the only complaint about the building was at night the stairs were rather dark. You could turn on lights but it was still pretty dark. There really isn’t a bad location in Lucca since it is so small but this place was in an excellent section of the city. We paid for parking but you could easily go outside the walls and find free parking and not that much farther away.

This is very nitpicking but I think at reception you could spend a bit more time explaining the various items like a/c, tv, washer/dryer/ dishwasher, etc. European appliances are not the same as US. Again, not a big deal and we got along just fine.see more

The keys were sometimes difficult to work in the locks but I guess that is part of the charm of an older building and old locks.

We were a group of 7 adults and rented both apartments for 8 days. All the bedrooms have an ensuite bath complete with sink, toilet, bidet and shower. The apartment is gorgeous: high ceilings, beautifully decorated and furnished. The location is very central: 5 min walk from the center: great shopping and awesome restaurants with delicious food. A few houses down there’s a bakery: we could smell the fresh bread from the window of our bedroom. Parking is outside the wall that surrounds Lucca. The streets are very narrow and it’s tough to drive there. The building has an elevator which is great given the fact that the apartment is on the 2nd floor. There’s some kind of construction/renovation going on the roof: the noise is not an issue.
The only inconvenience I found was the sorting and the disposal of the trash. In Lucca the garbage is sorted in 5 bins and you have to take the trash to the dumpsters a block away. In the US we have 2 bins which are much larger than what is provided in the apartment - so we hired people to help us with the disposal of trash. The communication with the management team was very good. They answered my questions in a timely manner. All in all we had a great vacation at the Medieval Penthouse. We will definitely rent it again next time we visit Lucca. |

We stayed here with our large family of 10 in both sides of the apartment. The apartment was well located, everything being walkable within the Lucca walls. The apartment is absolutely beautiful! We had 4 kids with us, so we had to hide away most of the fancy breakable items during our stay. We also used rain ponchos to protect the fabric kitchen chairs from spills from kids eating. The host was very responsive and we enjoyed taking advantage of the recommendations in the welcome book. Thanks for a great stay!

Manuel, the Concierge was particularly helpful prior to departure, recommending some good restaurants and suggesting a walking trip in the hills of Lucca with the wild trail guide company - a great day out.

This rental unit is absolutely incredible and fully stocked for a shortlong term stay. There are enough plates, cutlery, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, etc. to make your own dinner for many guests. My family and I stayed here for four nights, there were six of us total. We each had our own room and bathroom, apart from my mother and I who shared a room. The apartment is very large, but warmed up quickly during our winter stay (the thermostat was easy to use). The pictures are very accurate and actually do not do the apartment justice as it is more beautiful in person! The location is excellent, you can walk all through the centre of Lucca easily and even use the free parking lot that is about a 10-15 minute walk depending on how fast of a walker you are (we drove). Manuel met us at the apartment promptly and let us in, showed us around and answered all our questions. Thank you again and we hope to book with you again soon.

Stunning! Great location and beautiful space for a family group of 8. The large space easily accommodated a quieter subgroup and a busier subgroup. It was wonderful and we would love to stay there again!

The minute we walked into the Medieval Apartment, we were over-whelmed. The apartment surpassed our expectations. We were a group of 8 adults and there was plenty of room. The location is perfect for walking around Lucca and for getting to the train. Our host, Sonia, was very helpful and his homemade jam is delicious. We would highly recommend this charming apartment. Hopefully, some day we will return.

We stayed for two weeks in July and August. The property is on the second floor and has private lift access. There are five large bedrooms, 2 well-equipped kitchens and 2 comfortable lounges. All the bathrooms are ensuite and there is a laundry room with wash/dryer machine. It was very warm and humid when we visited so the washing facilities came in handy. The apartment lies inside the walls of Lucca just in front of the Guinigi’s building. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and prepare meals and has a fridge/freezer. The apartment is an excellent base to explore this part of Tuscany and Liguria. The Surpluss is the wonderful jacuzzi. The coast can be reached in about 45 minutes by car. The property represents good value accommodation.

This is an amazing location and the residence is pure luxury. The market is around the corner and shops and restaurants are a block away. I highly recommend staying here. Chiara was a great property manager.

Our family enjoyed 3 nights at this fabulous apartment in the heart of Lucca. There was plenty of room for 5 adults and 5 children to spread out and enjoy all of the amentities. The apartment was just a short walk to many restaurants and Via Falungo - the main shopping area. Elizabeth was extremely helpful when checking us in and gave us many tips to navigating Lucca. Lucca is our family's favorite spot in Italy and this apartment couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful place!

Beautiful accoutrements and the SPA ROOM were out of this world. Kitchen(s) were really handy and well stocked with cookware/dinner ware. Dishwasher, washer and dryer were wonderful bonuses. Elizabeth Petrini (our contact person) was knowledgeable and lovely. Answered all our questions and was quick to reply to any and all requests. I would recommend this location to everyone I know. Lucca was charming with lots of history and shopping! ) Also a TON of lovely cafes and restaurants with absolutely exceptional food. I had a good time and I think my friends did too. 15 out of 10 points. Would book again.

Una settimana da nobiltà L’appartamento è tanto bello quanto le foto promettono. Soffitti altissimi, affrescati in tutte le stanze, divani in velluto, lampadari imponenti, quadri, affreschi con le attrazioni di Lucca, vasca idromassaggio e un arredamento in generale molto curato e sofisticato. La posizione è perfetta per girare Lucca e in generale la Toscana, in due minuti sei in piazza dell’anfiteatro e in 5 sei fuori dalle mura, dove di solito parcheggiavamo la macchina. Purtroppo dobbiamo segnalare una scorrettezza inizialmente ci era stato richiesta una cauzione maggiore a quella indicata dall’annuncio per la nostra età, cosa che è contraria alle policy di Airbnb, e che contattando l’assistenza abbiamo sistemato. Sonia per il resto è stata molto disponibile a risolvere i piccoli problemi che abbiamo riscontrato.

We will be back and most certainly rent with Sidrak.
