Spectacular in every way! This one of a kind boutique property is absolutely gorgeous. Every detail and comfort is here! My husband and I feel like we are in Tuscan heaven. We don’t ever want to leave. We have traveled all over Italy and this property by far exceeds any other hotel residence. We also noticed several recognizable faces staying here but only saw them at glance entering the building because each residence/room is very private. No more staying in Florence - Lucca and Grand Universe is our new home away from home. Staff goes above and beyond as well. |I almost forgot - a butler is on sight to handle any special needs. Breakfasts at their sister property a few doors down The Grand Universe Lucca is also amazing.

Absolutely gorgeous and authentic boutique residence hotel in Lucca/Tuscany. Rooms are luxurious and have every amenity you could possibly need. If you’re looking for discretion this boutique residence hotel offers just that. You’ll be met by your personal concierge/butler upon arrival and escorted to your very private suite. The views are magnificent and the suites are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Beds are heavenly. We also enjoyed morning breakfast at the sister hotel Grand Universe just up the street as well as champagne on their rooftop bar and patio. Perfect place to enjoy your time in such a magical beautiful place in Italy. Lucca is the new place to be based instead of Florence.

My wife and I stayed in the two-bedroom top floor "Thyme" apartment at La Residenza in Lucca recently, and the experience was like living an episode of The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Located in the walled part of the city that's a ten-minute walk to the train station, the apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated, and it includes the most comfortable beds, three huge flat-screen TVs, wonderfully appointed bathrooms with huge showers, and gorgeous original wood beam ceilings. The fully equipped kitchenette had brand new appliances, including a large fridge, oven, stovetop, dishwasher, pots and pans, dishes, glassware and silverware. The staff is absolutely amazing. There is an on-site receptionist who caters to the guests every need. They also have a butler for the guests, and breakfast can be brought to your room from La Residenza's sister property, The Grand Universe Lucca, which is a three-minute walk away. The entrance to La Residenza is tucked away in a very quiet part of Lucca, providing guests with complete privacy from the crowds and other guests. My wife and I have stayed in dozens of beautiful hotels throughout Tuscany over the past twelve years and La Residenza is by far our favorite.

Frequently asked questions about Lucca

When is the best time to visit Lucca?

For pleasant weather, visit in May or September, when days are warm and rain is moderate. July and August are the hottest months, with peaks around 31°C. November is the rainiest, with 15 wet days. June offers a drier stretch with fewest rain days. The Lucca Summer Festival, held in summer, is a well-known music event.

Which area should I stay in in Lucca?

Stay inside the historic center for proximity to Piazza dell'Anfiteatro and the Duomo. The area around Via Fillungo suits shoppers and those wanting boutiques, with A Palazzo Busdraghi there. Near Piazza Napoleone, you are close to sights and quiet streets, where Palazzo Dipinto sits. For a green, slower stay, the area near the Mura di Lucca (the city walls) works well, with Lucca in Villa San Donato nearby.

What are the must-see attractions in Lucca?

The must-sees start with Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, the oval square marking the old Roman arena. Piazza Napoleone is the city's main gathering square. The Duomo di San Martino holds the revered Volto Santo, while Guinigi Tower offers rooftop views from its famous holm oaks. Walk the Mura di Lucca, the well-preserved Renaissance walls, and pass through Porta San Pietro, a grand historic gate.

What day trips can I take from Lucca?

The full-day tours from Lucca head to Cinque Terre, a string of five colorful cliffside villages with hiking trails and sea views. Other tours go to Siena and San Gimignano, two medieval Tuscan hill towns, with a stop in the Chianti wine region. You could also plan your own trip, but these organized outings cover the main highlights.

How many days do I need in Lucca?

Two days in Lucca let you see the main sights: the elliptical Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, the Duomo di San Martino, the Guinigi Tower with its rooftop trees, and a walk along the Mura di Lucca. Add a third day if you want to take a full-day tour to Cinque Terre or Siena and San Gimignano, since those leave from Lucca. That gives you a relaxed pace with time for a coffee in Piazza Napoleone.
