City Citadel

Nestled within the Medieval walls of Lucca, this modern apartment trades tradition for modern convenience. Elegant touches like parquet floors and an over-table light make the living space a welcoming place to relax, and the kitchen is just big enough for prepping quick breakfasts. Meanwhile, the study, overlooking the building's courtyard garden, is handy for those looking for a quiet work spot during their trip – and it also doubles as a second bedroom for larger groups. Plus, if you're craving historic sights, you're less than ten minutes from the Church of San Michele in Foro and Guinigi Tower.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the study.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Private covered parking is available on request.
*Although there is an elevator in this building, you'll need to climb two steps at the front entrance, so the home is not entirely step-free.
*While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find communal washing machines and dryers within the building.
