A Toproof Penthouse Apartment with Elevator and Private Garden Inside the Walls

Casa Santa Zita is simply the best! We stayed 7 weeks and it had everything we needed for a long-term stay. Kitchen is well-equipped, bed and couch extremely comfy and the apartment is furnished beautifully. The spaces are bright and look exactly as they do in the pictures (perhaps even better)! The private courtyard is a wonderful addition, as is the lift (especially for taking luggage/heavy shopping up). Location is perfect, right in the middle of town. Thank you to Manuel and the team at Lucca Apartments and Villas, who are all wonderfully attentive and helpful for anything you may need. We can’t wait until our next visit :)

Central location. Use of lift and private garden.
Very well equipped. Extremely comfortable apartment.

From start to finish we had an amazing holiday with Lucca apartments and Villas.
Communication was well excellent throughout. The apartment was well maintained and cosy everything was provided to make your holiday enjoyable including a bottle of local wine and luxury toiletries. Centrally located within easy walking distance to all the sites/ restaurants/ shops and trains. A wonderful place to stay.

Great location near the Torre Guinigi and a quieter place, due to the flat's location within a gated small set of buildings. Fantastic view of the Torre Guinigi and wonderful classical music heard due to the proximity of the Conservatorio Luigi Boccherini. It's tiny, so only good for one person or a couple.

All was very good- Manuel was very helpful.

It’s location, layout, style, accommodations, view, patio, elevator, and history.

The appartment is lovely furnished and it is everything available for a comfortable stay. We loved it!
Thank you so much!

Lucca is perfect and this apartment makes your stay there even more idyllic. From listening to opera and classical music in the lush and shady garden, to cooling off from the heat of the day inside the well appointed interior of the apartment. Everything you need is only a few steps from the apartment: provisions, restaurants, places of note and cultural interest, scenic views. The apartment team are friendly, helpful and responsive. Many thanks to Manuel for a smooth arrival and departure. We recommend and would definitely return.

Grate location, short walk to the grocery store many good restaurants. Friendly and helpful host (Manuel), we had a problem with the wifi and Chiara & Elizabeth came right over and fixed it. The next morning Manuel brought over a second router in case the problem on the line continued. We look forward to returning.

Great place. So cool to look from balcony on Torre Guinigi tower. So close. And to hear the music school. Such a cosy place. Can't say we used the garden as it was on the ground floor, not sure that was clear, but it didn't matter as we were there in November. We had amazing weather.

We stayed here for 4 nights, and thought the apartment was bright, extremely clean and well appointed. There were pleasant surprises: the view of the Guinigi Tower, the private garden space, the welcome bottle of wine, the elevator. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage for us to fully unpack. The apartment was clearly renovated to a very high level, and the added personal touches and decor helped make it inviting and comfortable. The host was extremely accommodating with our changing check-in time, and Elizabeth was waiting for us when we arrived. As others have noted, the music coming from the music school was an added bonus. We would highly recommend this apartment and hope to return.

Very tastefully furnished with a musical theme - to go with the learners practising their scales on their violins zylophones and drums next door!

This apartment is absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect to explore Lucca and beyond, due to its proximity to the train station. The apartment is meticulously clean and is equipped with everything you need for a shortlong term stay with lots of books about the history of the region. The furnishings are absolutely beautiful. There is a music school next door and music and singing filters through the apartment most days which is just so very “Italian”, and the furnishings are all of a music theme. We 100% can recommend this beautiful apartment as your home away from home in Lucca.

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location!! Host was very helpful with travel cot for our baby - lift is also very useful!! Would 100% stay here again :)

Mooi, ruim en schoon appartement in het centrum van Lucca! Prachtige locatie om de stad goed te verkennen. Er is zelfs een lift aanwezig en een mooie (ruime) buitenruimte waarin je heerlijk kan zitten. Ook zijn er zijn twee fietsen die je kan gebruiken, echt top! Een fijne ontvangst, met een heerlijke fles wijn, en goede en snelle communicatie met de verhuurder.

Splendid self contained apartment with all amenities. Perfect central position. Comfortable bed. Lucca water is drinkable and good. Lift is a lifesaver when hot (or if have mobility issues). Pleasant private courtyard where can hear music from adjacent music school (not a big issue but worth taking bugs spray). Would stay again and definitely recommend.

We LOVED the apartment, the bikes, the city and everything the area has to offer. Highly recommend a visit to this property and Lucca itself!

Great bed, lift for luggage, water and wine on arrival. Great location, lovely meet and greet. Superb spacious apartment. Great local supermarket 2 minutes away.

Close to shops, bars, restaurants etc. The check in was nice and easy - the property is managed by a company who can be reached if anything is needed. We were also provided with a handy guide book that covered any questions we might have had. The apartment itself was really nice and felt very much like home. A bottle of water & a bottle of wine were also provided which was a really nice touch! The private garden was a great space and had music from the local music schools which created a nice ambience! All In all, I can't rate this property highly enough and should I ever return to Lucca, I will definitely want to stay here again!

I can’t say enough about the beautiful apartment and it’s great location-with a elevator also ideal with lots of baggage vs only stairs since it’s on the 4 th floor. It also has a music academy around the block-so you get treated to some very talented musicians daily as well.

Casa Santa Zita is a little gem, hidden away in the old paved streets of Lucca Old Town. Accessed through a courtyard at the end of Vicolo del Pescatore. There are 50 stairs to reach the apartment, if you want to put the steps in, but there is a modern lift to take the strain as well, with an amazing view of the Torre Guinigi as you step out of the lift. The apartment itself has to be seen to be believed, a description just does not do it justice. The well stocked kitchen area has everything you need for cooking and cleaning, including a dishwasher and a washing machine. The bed was really comfortable and the shower both quick acting and efficient. Sonia and the concierge team are readily accessible by phone and email and are more than happy to answer your queries (I managed to find a newsagent that sold the Gazetta dello Sport, thanks to Manuel). As mentioned, the musical sounds from the collegio next door regularly drift across into the apartment and the enclosed garden downstairs, which adds a certain Italian feel to your stay. Must also mention the complimentary use of two bikes , a must for traversing around the town walls, if the 2.5 miles is a bit too far for you to walk. As far as eating out goes, you literally can't go wrong. However the well documented listings in the handbook that can be found in the apartment gives you plenty of options. Our favourites? Nearby, Osterian Nova 'restaurant' and Pult and il Bistro by Piqui 'wine bars'. Further afield, on Via San Paolina, Rusticanella2 da Luca and Osteria del Bastian Contrario. With a special mention to Pasticceria Dianda - a four minutes walk to pastry paradise! And Suffice to say we will be making plans to visit Casa Santa Zita again, which is probably the best endorsement one can give. Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb am arosfa hyfryd / many thanks to you all for a lovely stay!

A lovely apartment in a beautiful city. Can't wait to come back!

I can’t say enough good things about this apartment and I can’t find anything that’s a fault. It’s bright and airy, and tremendously quiet except for the lovely sound of musicians from the conservatory next door in the afternoon. The bedroom is completely dark and silent. The bed is on the firm side and comfortable and there are 2 densities of bed pillows to choose from. Kitchen is very well equipped. Location is smack in the center of Lucca. Check in and out was a breeze. There’s a binder with extensive information about shops, restaurants, and pretty much anything else you might need. The downstairs private terrace is a wonderful place to sit and readhave drinks and there’s an elevator which makes that easy to take advantage of. The bikes were a nice bonus too.

Immaculate, perfectly furnished and equipped and centrally located, The bonuses included that gorgeous private courtyard, an elevator to get we weary travelers and bags up to the unit and the beautiful music drifting up from the music academy next door. Simply magnificent. Try the Truffle pasta at Osteria Nero just a minute away and sign up for an amazing cooking class at Extra Virgin Cooking School!

Our stay in this gorgeous apartment couldn't have been any better!
We loved the bike- possibility, how lovely everything was sorted in the place itself and the stunning outdoor area as well.
Thank you so much Sonia

E' stato un grande piacere. Amiamo questa città, quest'appartamento, i piatti tipici e le persone gentilissime. Grazie mille per tutto.
Consiglieremo sicuramente Sonia & amici

Super accomodation in Lucca! The appartment is in the center of Lucca, so everything is walking distance. If you would like to explore the area a bit, you can use the bikes that are provided! The appartment is clean, has plenty of space and the garden is a big plus if you want to take a break in the afternoon. Would 100% recommend coming here if you are visiting Lucca!

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing apartment and a great time in Lucca & Tuscany. Thank you very much - especially to Manuel - for welcoming us so warmly! And thanks for all the helpful recommendations in the book, we even managed to use the garbage contains.

Lovely stylish apartment , very comfortable with a homey feel and a good location . Spacious , has all amenities you could need . Great views and a lovely little garden with the apartment . We didn’t get to use it due to the weather but it will be nice in summer. We would gladly stay here again.

Spotlessly clean with a lovely attention to detail with the decor and lovely small touches eg the Italian coffee pot with coffee provided. We also had water and a lovely red wine left too- very nice touch! We had a problem with no hot water but 1 phone call and it was fixed within the hour. Bikes were provided but we never used them. Ideally situated in the heart of Lucca with many restaurants close by. We enjoyed walking the walk ever day

This apartment exceeded our expectations, the previous reviews definitely did it justice and it was a very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated/furnished apartment. We were very grateful for the bottled water (and wine!) which were left to tide us over until the morning. The supermarket is a very short walk from the apartment which makes it extremely easy to buy groceries as required on a daily basis and the prices are more than reasonable. The central location in the old centre of Lucca was perfect, just seconds from the shops, bars and restaurants and we never tired of exploring the old narrow streets. Having said this the apartment is deadly quiet and I don't think I've ever slept so well!

Fabulous home in the center of Lucca decorated with a lot of taste and attention to details. Easy check in and warm welcome, good communication and great equipment of the apartment. We felt at home and can only recommend this place. Exactly as on the pictures. Bikes were also provided at our free disposal which was a nice surprise. Great tips around activities etc. We would love to come back soon, thank you for everything!

Amazing!!! The apartment is just amazing very big and beautiful. The location is great near a supermarket and in the center of the city. If you want to have a wonderful time in Lucca it's the perfect place!!! We will be back. And yes the garden is not in the same floor that the apartment but it's only for you and it's great and it make you feel so privileged and a little bit of organisation and you can enjoy it!!

This apartment is wonderful. It's decorated beautifully and has all the amenities that you could ask for, and it's very comfortable. The central location is perfect, too – near a lot of shopping, dining and sight-seeing but at night it's nice and quiet and the neighborhood is a joy to stroll around in the evening. The host was very nice and quick to respond to my questions. I also loved the books about Lucca and it's history that they added. My only regret is not booking the apartment for several more days.
