Lucca - Apartment

Forget about maps and planning. Instead, wander ancient streets with someone special, stumbling upon bustling restaurants and inspiring architecture. When you’ve had your fill, return home in the heart of Lucca for a drink on the TERRACE and people-watching over Piazza San Giovanni. Do it all again tomorrow, but this time, turn left instead of right for a whole new experience. When you’re not out exploring Lucca, the elegant interiors of PUCCINI PENTHOUSE will provide an iconic Italian ambiance.

It is a sophisticated residence that showcases immaculate Italian opulence at its finest. Easily the most convenient location in the city thanks to its closeness to the train station and safe parking -both 5 mins walk away- a short, scenic stroll will land you among the most coveted spots: San Martino Cathedral, the instantly recognizable Anfiteatro and Via Fillungo, to name a few.Embrace the sights and sounds of Lucca from this contemporary apartment’s 4th-story terrace overlooking the roofs of the town. With a spacious dining area, the terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy a Nespresso or Bellini beneath the moonlit sky. When you are ready to explore the winding streets and medieval squares of Lucca, simple step outside, Piazza Anfiteatro, San Michele, Via Fillungo, Guinigi Tower and Piazza Napoleone are a 5-minute walk.Inspired by the old Italian noble homes, the PARK VIEW APARTMENT’s living room uses the subtle black as a refreshing accent colour, mixing it with soothing stone greys, whites and warm flooring. The PARK VIEW APARTMENT continues in the dining room, where you will enjoy historic city-views while you are having dinner. Moving to the kitchen, state-of-the-art appliances are ready to inspire your inner chef. Before heading out for the night, treat yourself with a soothing steam-bath in the spa-like master bathroom. Soaring ceilings open up the living space; natural light bursts in through French doors. Intricately detailed original old tiles add an artful element to the interiors, alongside plush details, such as velvet-upholstered furniture and drapes, and décor in a range of emerald, charcoal, and dusty rose hues. Four luxury master bedrooms with grand windows complete the PARK VIEW APARTMENT along with four bathrooms (two of which are ensuite). Air conditioning, elevator, a high-speed wifi connection are not missing. The Wonderful covered terrace for the guests’ exclusive use is reachable through elevator located in the building staircase just outside the apartment’s main entrance plus a short flight of steps which makes it ideal for at home dining with a chef and his staff.The neighbourhood is where you will find the legendary Anfiteatro and many of the city’s most famous architectural attractions. Make sure you have a camera with you all the time, especially when admiring the streets surrounding the apartment, as you will find Via del Fosso with its medieval water stream passing by the antique gates dating back to 1100s, Piazza San Francesco horned by its white Carrara Marble Romanesque façade and Lucca Train Station within 7 mins walk away plus a safe parking 5 mins walk as well. And, if you are hungry, you will find incredible Italian restaurants in every corner, but a great place where to start it is the Giglio One Michelin starred Restaurant or Gli Orti di Via Elisa. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: We think it is important to make known that during the summer months, from the end of June to September 5, in the park of the villa in front of the apartment (not exactly in front of the apartment but inside the park) an auteur film festival is held therefore films will be screened in the evening, also in English, and the screenings begin around 9 pm and end around 11.30 pm. Usually there are about fifty spectators, so from the apartment you could hear the buzz as well as the sound of the movies.
