Casa Simonetta: Modern and Antique Ground Floor Apartment inside the Walls of Lucca

Lucca - Apartment

Comfortable, everything you need and within walking distance of the sights of Lucca.

A fantastic host and an absolutely beautiful apartment. Very spacious with high ceilings and beautiful furnishings, we felt like we were living the life of a local. Incredibly helpful recommendations with some wonderful restaurants - easily the best food in Italy. We had a fabulous experience and hope to be back soon.

Gorgeous apartment, perfect location and great hosts!

Beautiful apartment which felt both grand and homely at the same time. Lucca is a city with so much history so staying in a beautiful period apartment added to the experience. It was lovely being able to walk out the front door and finding cafes, restaurants, churches etc. within walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying both in Lucca itself and in Sidrak's apartment.

This is a lovely, historic apartment in a great location in the walled city. The apartment looks exactly as it does in the pictures and is a lovely base for a stay in Lucca. The location is also great if you are intending to explore the surrounding area as it is less than 10 minutes walk from the train station .

The appartment was first class and in the heart of Lucca too. Sidrak replied to all our queries we had beforehand which made our arrival very smooth. I would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about this apartment and about our hosts. Unbelievably responsive, the apartment is stunning and my only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. The apartment is beautiful with 20+foot ceilings in a lovely part of Lucca inside the walls and walking distance to everything. The only thing missing was a corkscrew- but I bought one and left it there. Now it is perfect

Nice comfortable apartment in good location. A little surprised to have to pay for electricity In addition to cost of apartment which as far as I was was not advised at time of booking. Only aware of this charge two weeks prior to arrival. Only a small criticism on the bedding and towels provided. Nothing matched and towels appeared old and could do with replacing. Otherwise a nice traditional apartment.

Two bedrooms with ensuite baths, huge living room with comfy sofas and a real kitchen with good appliances, all on lovely via San Giorgio, with uncomplicated access to trains, buses, and Porta Santa Maria for car drop-off. We lost wifi once and Chiara arrived within 15 minutes to solve it. And it's dangerously near the Giusti bakery on via Santa Lucia, where they make the best focaccia and cantuccini.

What a wonderful experience to enjoy the beauty of Tuscany at this picturesque apartment! The stay at the apartment was exceptional and second to none. The interiors and the decor was spectacular! We received 5 star service from all the staff of Mrs Sonia and the apartment provided us an opportunity to explore the wonders of Tuscany including Lucca, Florence, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano and Vinci. We enjoyed your special welcome. Wifi was reliable and the apartment was immaculate and clean. We will long remember the precious time we spent with those we met and the wonderful experience we encountered during our stay. Best wishes!

What a sweet and delightful traditional Lucca apartment. Located on a uniquely characteristic street close to the botanical gardens, the apartment is quiet, and very comfortable. The traditional kitchen is well equipped and the bathrooms are modern and clean. In fact, the whole apartment is extremely clean and comfortable with every need catered for. We enjoyed easy access to the wall for daily walks and bike rides and there are plenty of nearby stores for food, drinks and other necessities. Sonia presented an abundance of information about Lucca, where to eat, drink and buy food and her team were extremely helpful in organizing anything from tours to language lessons. You will be in good hands if staying in one of Sonia's apartments. We visited Lucca 2 years ago for the first time and stayed in one of her properties too. She’s amazing.

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 it was perfect for my 87 years old mum. The flat itself has everything you could want, the bathrooms have good showers and a bathtub. It also has a washing machine and clothes dryer. The sitting room is very comfortable, with quality couches, and those amazing interiors. 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. The highlight for us was the space. 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, Mrs Isa, 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. Sonia was a very gentle and honest host. We highly recommend a stay in this Lucca flat.

Lucca Apartments and Villas selection of apartments was highly recommended by a family member and we were not disappointed. From the start Mrs Simona helped us choose the right apartment for our party of 4 (2 senior couples) Simona kept in touch with us regularly, and made sure we found our way to the apartment with ease. Casa Simonetta was all we could have wished for. The apartment was incredibly spacious, grand and had everything we needed including access to bikes. The owner Mrs Simonetta could not have been more helpful. It was a joy to stay there.
We will definitely return to Lucca and would highly recommend Lucca Apartments and Villas Agency. Thank you Simona and Simonetta.

We truly enjoyed our stay with Soni. She is an excellent hosts and we spent quite a bit of time with her. She made us feel like "familia". The apartment is definitely an high end property and it was very clean, attractive and comfortable. We worked in Sonia's vineyard outside of Lucca for 2 days to help with the grape harvest and enjoyed that. Mrs Cristina (Sonia's emplyee) was a big help as she drove us to the entrance to the AutoStradde (highway) the day before we left to make sure we could find our way to the airport in Pisa. Sonia is very prompt and helpful and is a pleasure to work with. We would strongly recommend Casa Simonetta as a vacation destination.

The apartment was excellent.. The kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to cook meals for our family and baby grandson who had just commenced solids. The huge living area was lovely to sit on and relax whilst drinking coffeea wine. We had almost every meal in the apartment. It was also great for the children to play on. The antique palace had a courtyard which was also good to allow our children to play. The apartment was close to shops and the free parking was right behind the apartment. It also has bikes, very rare! It was close to the train which allowed us to go into Rome and sight-see. There are plenty of resturants around for dining and even exciting groceries. Overall the apartment was neat , clean and well presented. Sonia was a fantastic host and made extra efforts to accommodate my family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Lucca and will do it again next time we travel to Italy (2 years). Thank you!

The location of the apartment is ideal. Very close to san Michele square and via fillungo and the public transportation, but it's on the "residential" side of the town: an elegant and quiet street. So you feel a little more like a "local". The Duomo and train station are both about 5/10 minutes walkless. The apartment itself is very nice and roomy. We're a family of 4 and everyone was comfortable. Everything was clean and ready for us on arrival. Mrs Sonia checked us in and spent plenty of time showing us her recos on a map - even providing us with a list of favorite restaurants of all types. She also takes the time to show every nook and cranny of the apartment so you know how to use everything. The beds are new and comfortable, the apartment is fresh, well decorated and maintained. Wi-fi connection for free and elevator. Everything worked smoothly. We recommend this apartment. Liz
