Casa Laura, a Terrace above Lucca

Lucca - Appartamento

Appartamento incantevole, ottima e tranquilla posizione, molto pulito, l’accoglienza è stata calorosa. In questo appartamento ti senti a casa!

Perfect location! We highly recommend.
Everything was perfect, the flat and this beautiful city.

Fabulous apartment in a brilliant location within the walls of Lovely Lucca. We love Lucca and this apartment made our stay really special. Very quiet at all times. Wonderful sun terrace. Very well equipped with plates, cutlery etc. full size dishwasher and fridge freezer. The stairs to the apartment are a great workout!

Lovely quiet location near the Botanical Gardens, close to the city wall, restaurants, shopping and approximately a 15 minute walk to the train station. Clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped apartment. It is on the top floor with the added advantage of the outside space but be aware of the stairs and carrying luggage to the apartment. It has to be the best hotel/apartment I have been to for hanging space, there is no need to taken coat hangers there must be at least 30 hangers in a separate room off the bedroom. There was also a washing machine, iron and clothes airer. Lovely toiletries provided in the two bathrooms, plenty of towels and two dressing gowns for use. It took a few minutes to run through, but there was lots of hot water day and night for showers. Spacious bedroom with aircon, bed was comfortable. Kitchen slightly lacking in glasses, got around the issue by using beer glasses for wine. Very enjoyable stay and would recommend to family and friends.

The air conditioning was an absolute god send, as it was so hot in August, and many places around the city didn’t have air con. It was such a haven. Amazing bakery and pizzeria close by. Beautiful furnishings and well equipped. The terrace is amazing and completely private. There are a lot of stairs so one needs to account for this if not used to it.

Classic building in the very center of Lucca. Top floor and a few steps to take you there but it's worth it! Furnishings range very nice. Views are spectacular! Reminds you why you chose this spot. Very airy living/dining area. Bedroom adequate. Felt better than hotel stay for our 6 days we spent there. Great to be steps away from the action but also above the crowds when you want.

The terrace is wonderful. The accommodation is perfect for two people

This was a beautiful apartment in a great location. The five flights of stairs to get to it were worth every step. Property mangers were always available and helpful.

Amazing penthouse overlooking the roof and the hills of Lucca. Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful in every way, great location right near parking, and excellent interior design and layout. Must be the best apartment in all of Lucca!

Having 2 bathrooms was super convenient and the little room behind the master bedroom for the laundry was a great asset. Kitchen was well stocked and bed was comfortable. Make sure you can do stairs as this is located on the top floor of the bldg.

This property is absolutely beautiful with incredible views, and perfect location with dining, shopping and so many interesting sights just steps away. The train station is a short walk which made traveling to other towns very easy as was parking after we got a car. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed to prepare a nice meal to enjoy on the balcony. Very spacious, and clean. Ms. Elizabeth is a perfect host. She was very prompt in meeting us and check in was very easy. We can't say enough good things about our week in Lucca. Coming home to this beautiful place at the end of the day was a real pleasure. Highly, highly recommend.

A cleverly converted apartment with a very private and beautiful terrace. Comfortable bed. Not for people who can’t do stairs but the climb to the apartment is perfect for those who want quiet and privacy. Conveniently located within the walls / great access to the walk around the walls and close to all the amenities. An absolutely perfect holiday stay

Casa Laura was just a delight.
We had stayed last year and really loved it. Now that we’ve been back again and loved it even more it will be an annual stay for us. The apartment is spacious, very clean and beautifully furnished. We loved having two bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen.
The terrace is a jewel.
Totally private and not overlooked.
Our property manager, Elizabeth was superb as were all her colleagues.
Totally recommended as long as you don’t want our dates 👍

Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich wie zu Hause. Die Dachterasse ist sehr schön, der Ausblick allerdings nicht so.
Beim 3. Stock muss man zwar etwas Kondition haben, aber die Wohnung entschädigt für die Treppensteigerei.
Die Lage des Apartments ist sehr gut, eine ruhige Gegend, ganz in der Nähe der Stadtmauer.
Einkaufsstraße, Restaurants und Supermarkt sind in der Nähe.
Etwas problematisch ist die Parksituation.
Bei der netten Begrüßung durch eine Angestellte der Agentur erfuhren wir von einem kostenlosen Parkplatz (Piazza caduti sul lavoro), ca. 15 Gehminuten entfernt.
Ein Besuch in der Kirche San Giovanni zu einem Puccini Konzert lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.
Lucca ist eine wunderschöne Stadt.

Perfect location to explore Lucca. Close to the station as well, enabling east travel to Pisa and Florence.

The apartment is comfortable and well equipped with a large private terrace. It is perfectly situated. The railway station is 1o minutes walk away, the Botanic Gardens and the City walls are literally 2 minutes walk. Shops, restaurants and sights are all within a short walk. We loved the walk around the walls and the lovely fresh produce in the shops. Lucca is a wonderful place with plenty to discover. Just strolling from piazza to piazza brings unexpected delights.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful appartement in Lucca. A short walk to the train station, the grocery store and many resturantes. We also enjoyed the big terrace and the nice view!

We have stayed in Lucca many times over the years, in hotels and apartments.
We have nothing but praise for the Casa Laura apartment, it's location and it's facilities. First it is roomy. The bedroom has a master bed which is large with an ensuite bathroom. It has ample storage space and lots of light through the large window. The Family/Living room has a very comfortable couch, arm chair, and TV though we had little time to watch TV. The second bathroom is huge with a grand shower. The A/C is excellent in both the master bedroom and Living rooms. The kitchen is superb, Good light through the Patio facing window, large table that amply seats four. Good sized fridge, stove top and oven all work well. Good sized sink and dish washer. The best feature is the patio with a large fluffy sofa, table seating for four, great cushioned seating areas and plants that enclose it making it a private garden.
The location in the centre of Lucca, right inside Porta San Pietro is excellent and with close access to the wall. Paid parking is just 5 minutes away and the lot, Parcheggio Mazzini has tons of room and available 24 hours a day. The train station is a 5 minutes walk at most. Everything in the walls is just few minutes walk.
Sonia is easily reachable though we only used her to reserve a cab for us when we left.
We plan on a return trip to Lucca and would definitely stay again at the Casa Laura apartment.

We were so enchanted by our stay in Lucca in general and in this apartment in particular. Such a wonderful medieval city to explore and discover it's many delights. This apartment was the perfect location to be able to walk easily everywhere in Lucca. The apartment is elegant and very comfortable. It is all that the beautiful pictures depict. It is quiet, clean, luxurious and just perfect for a singlea couple. Sonia was very helpful and responded immediately to any request. I highly recommend this apartment for a delightful stay in Lucca. One caveat, there are 4 flights of stairs and no elevator....so caution for those with limited mobility.....however, Sonia has many other properties equally as tasteful with no stairs if desired.

The stars of this apartment are the owner and the apartments location. It is literally about a 100m walk to the entrance of the Cathedral on one side and around 80m to the new Contemporary Art Museum and the shopping streets on the other side. We walked to all the major sights from the apartment. The owner was great, she gave us a thorough introduction to the apartment and then a tour of the local neighbourhood, which we really appreciated as it made finding cafe, supermarket and shops much easier the next day. We also appreciated her buying us an espresso, not just because Italian coffee is great, but because it allowed us to see how the cafe ordering system works - absolutely nothing like how it works here in US! The apartment is spacious and was perfect for a senior couple. Even though it's in the center of the town it's not noisy at all, as the square and streets nearby are mainly pedestrian. The kitchen was very well supplied and the beds were comfortable. We loved the romantic view of the churches and the roofs of the old buildings! We loved our stay. Thank you! Jenny & James

We would have no hesitation in recommending the Laura apartment, and we fully intend to use it again unless we decide that we need two bedrooms on our next trip to Lucca - and if we do, we'll be booking another apartment from Mrs Sonia.
We found the apartment generally spacious and well appointed. The bedroom is generous as well as the kitchen/dining/living area, and good storage space.
Although it was late in the year for us to actually use the terrace very much, being able to have the doors open and not be overlooked in such a central city neighborhood was lovely. It was also very quiet at night.
We found the combined washer/dryer to be very useful.
We also loved the location. As returning visitors to Tuscany we were familiar with the area, but had never lived there before for such a long time. It was a matter of minutes to the railway station and to parking, the location was very convenient. We even walked along the walls one night, but that might be a venture only for people who are used to long walks in the nature!
It was our second time renting an apartment from Mrs Sonia and we would definitely recommend the apartment Laura and we would certainly use it again. Thank you!

My home base for the 4 weeks I spent in Tuscany was beautiful Lucca. It truly is a hidden gem & a perfect base for those without a car. I stayed in the beautiful Casa Laura and I cannot wait to get back. My easy train ride from Roma Termini station to Lucca was capped off by a warm welcome by Sonia (one of the owners) who whisked me off to my apartment rental. Although the train station is only a 5/7 minute walk, it was lovely to picked up by car with my luggage. Sonia and Cristina took great care of me & were quick to address any questionsrequests I had. The apartment features a large kitchen & open living rooms. Both bedroom and the two bathrooms are a nice size & the linens and towels were clean & comfortable. Bathrobe was provided, a great bonus. The wifi was great for updating my blog about Italy & I used the great washing machine and the dryer a lot so that I could pack lighter. Sonia and Cristina have supplied me with all of the comforts of home including dishes, cookware etc... just pack your clothes & forget your troubles in Lucca. This apartment has the most incredible patio & I spent numerous hours sipping wine & enjoying my patio with friends. What I loved most about it was its central location. It was a quick walk to espresso bars, restaurants & shops, not to mention the numerous historical & religious sites all throughout Lucca. My favorite spot was looking out over the square while sipping coffee near the Caffè Dele Mura (on the walls). A walk to the walls & you are rewarded with a breathtaking view, not to mention great exercise for justifying all those gelatos you will want. The people of Lucca are so nice & welcoming, but you would do yourself well to learn at least a rudimentary amount of Italian. If not just out of respect for the Italian people, but also to help you feel more at ease. You will find that in most of the small hill towns not much English is spoken. Honestly though, after the culture shock of OVER touristy Rome....the beauty & simplicity of Lucca is so refreshing. The food of Lucca is incredible & beautifully simple. As a Chef I was overwhelmed by the freshness of produce, salamis & pastas. The wines of this region are incredible & inexpensive. As a solo female traveler I must say I felt perfectly safe in Lucca. If you If you are a "Slow Traveler" & you like leisurely paced meals & environs, then Lucca is perfect place to experience the beauty of Tuscany. I'm already planning my trip back with Sonia next summer!

Sonia is very kind and attentive. The apartment is spacious, lovely and well-appointed. It's location is ideal: very quiet neighborhood, easy access to the wall, and an easy walk to many excellent restaurants and bars.
The benefit of two full baths cannot be overstated.
The terrace is spacious, private, and very comfortable. We used it daily.
Two minor points: the wooden pallets need to be removed from the terrace, and it would be great if there were actually two bicycles, as there were formerly.
Fantastic property. We will return.
Arrivederci!

What a wonderful appartment ❤️
We stayed in Casa Laura for one week,and it couldn't have been more perfect for us!!!
It was light,tasteful,clean,spacious,quite and had THE most wonderful roof terrace.
We had a bathroom each 😊...spacious walk in closet with washing machine etc....and the kitchen was well equipped.
Yes,there were a "few" steps to walk from the street,but no problem....could eat more great food and have some more wine and do the steps as excersise😊
We used the wall around the city for our morning walk/jogg....the ramp was only a few meters from the front door.
Lucca is amazing.Our 4.time here,but not our last.
Plenty of wonderful shopping to do,concerts and antique market(3.weekend each month),perfect places to eat etc...
We rented a car and went to some wineries up in the hills around Montecarlo...wonderful !!
Well..enough talk...we recommend Casa Laura with all our heart !!! It was perfect,and we like to rent it again 😊
And,Mrs Sonia was so welcoming and easy to talk to...a women to depend on 👍
Best
Hanne and Walter

This is our second time at a Luccaapartmentsandvillas very nice accomodations. Nicely appointed and amentities, ie soap, coffee,paper towels, etc. We are very comfortable in Lucca, so we did not need to use the office staff, but its nice to know they are there if needed. I strongly rec'd using their services, its just so easy and they bring you right into apt. So much nicer than a hotel, coffee in your PJ's, a kitchen to make snacks, and the most amazing terrace with a magnificent view! I will def use again.
