Description The Painted Sonata: Lucca

Settled within Lucca's medieval walls, this palazzo apartment frames Piazza San Michele from its shuttered windows – San Michele in Foro's celebrated Romanesque-Gothic façade is just two minutes on foot. Inside, a hand-painted coffered ceiling draws the eye in the living room, and the kitchen brings a richness that feels distinctively Lucchese. The main bedroom opens via French doors onto a loggia – a quiet spot for morning coffee above the city. Piazza Napoleone is a two-minute walk, Torre Guinigi a four-minute stroll, and the elliptical Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, built over a Roman amphitheatre, is seven-minutes away.

Home truths:
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* While the fourth bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* While the home can sleep up to six people, the maximum occupancy is four guests.
* This home is lift accessible – it may suit guests with reduced mobility.
