The Rooftop Penthouse

Lucca - Apartment

The swirling detail of Clock Tower along trendy Via Fillungo feels close enough to touch from the windows of CASA UGOLINO apartment set in the shadow of San Michele Church. While the flat is simpler than the ornate Romanesque marbles of the Cathedral, the home is elegant in its own right, with parquet floors, tall windows, Carrara Marble showers and state of the art interiors and kitchen appliances. Open the windows and let the vibrant atmosphere float up from the streets and piazza, or turn on the dock station and listen to your favourite music while enjoying a Lucchese local wine with a view over the surrounding monuments. Though it’s surrounded by relics from centuries of Italy’s history, the apartment has touches of decidedly 21st-century luxury such as a smart TV, Wi-Fi, Washer + Dryer and air conditioning. From an open-concept living and dining room a grand 14th century window frames the views of Via Fillungo once the gateway of silk trade across Europe in the middle ages and now the most iconic landmark of the town with its historical shops.
