Description
Tucked away on peaceful residential streets in the city's historic heart, CASA CATERINA is located on the first floor of a grand 15th-century townhouses along Via S. Andrea. Sympathetically renovated in early 2016, it exude a sense of grandeur from the moment you open the door. Double-height oak beamed ceilings crown the comfy open-plan lounge, while tall windows provide plenty of light and unimpeded views of the Guinigi tower, famously sprouting oak trees from its roof. Walk through double doors to the bedrooms and there's another surprise: original furniture and signed painting adorn every inch of wall and floor, their pastel colours creating the illusion of sleeping under a theatrical canopy. There's also a well-equipped kitchen for self-catering opening onto the magical terrace overlooking a Romanesque Church Façade dor great dinners. Free high speed WiFi, Air conditioning and a handy washing machine for longer stays is available.
Lucca is the kind of place you could visit at any time of year - the apartment has air-con for summer and central heating for winter - and each season has its charms. Winter is the time to live like a local for a week or more; Mrs Sonia can put you in touch with Italian language or cookery tutors if that interests you. Spring and autumn are magical, with snow on the distant peaks until April, and warm autumnal hues in early-mid October. Summer can be hot - you're almost at sea-level - but it is the busiest time culturally.
The kitchen is jam-packed with all the utensils you could need: Italian coffee machine and filter coffee jug, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, wine glasses... not to mention iron and washing machine in the separate laundry room and hairdryer in the bathroom. Nothing is missing.

Perhaps the only criticism is that it would be better to put for guests (especially when there are many people and staying for a week), more than a roll of toilet paper.

Three generous sized bedrooms, two spacious sitting areas and a formal dining room separate from the eat-in kitchen meant there was plenty of room for our group to relax. The well-equipped kitchen and fabulous terrace made cooking at home an enjoyable alternative on the nights we didn’t venture out to the local restaurants.

Overall this is a great property. Location is excellent, 3 large bedrooms and 2 baths make this the perfect place to share with another couplefamily. The terrace was a great place to relaxeat outside, the kitchen is well equipped with a large refrigerator and functional appliances including clothes washer. The large living room, sitting room, dinning room are very elegant and the bedrooms are large with comfortable beds and bedding. There is a great grocery store right around the corner, meat market and produce stores also very near by. This is a great place and we would rent it again. That being said, here are a couple of things to consider. First, this is a beautiful elegant home. It is also very nicely decorated. If you have small children, I would think twice about this place as you will go crazy worrying about the kids playing and possibly breaking one of the many antiques and decorations. Second, The binder says "easy and fast check out". Well that's kind of true. When we arrived we were asked for a 300 euro deposit. If that requirement was in any of the booking information, we missed it. So if we missed you might too. In any case it caught us off guard and we were lucky to come up with 300 in cash. This was a bit of a pain as when we checked out, we had to wait for the owner (a very nice person and it was nice to hear the history of the property), to come over and return our deposit. That left us with 300 euro to get rid of on our last day in Europe. Lastly (and not a big deal), the pictures of the terrace in the ad makes it appear a bit more clamorous than it really is - but it still very nice! Again, we highly recommend (unless you have small children). You'll love it!

This is be far the best of the many apartments we have rented in Lucca. It is very large and beautifully decorated and has a good location. Great for three couplesa family. We had four adults and one 11 year old and needed three bedrooms. May not be good for younger children because of potential breakage of the many decorative items. The owner was raised in the house and lives in it during the winter and has put a lot of effort into remodeling and decorating it.

This perfectly located apartment made my month long stay in Lucca everything I had hoped for. My guests were very comfortable and we all enjoyed dining on the terrace and at the many excellent restaurants near-by. The beds were excellent and the kitchen was well equipped. The bathrooms have been beautifully updated. We even used the bicycles. The only thing the apartment lacked was a closetArmoire for hanging clothes in one of the bedroom and sufficient comfortable seating for six people on the terrace. There was a dinning table with six chairs plus one cushioned lounge settee and one small cushioned sofa for two people. So the lounge furniture was only for three people. Otherwise the apartment was "idyllic." I also want to thank Sonia for her kind assistance. Linda F.

Lucca is a great choice if you're looking for a fairly quiet town (aside from the summer music festival but still, it's pretty calm). This apartment,maybe I should say palazzo, is an excellent choice inside the walls of old Lucca. The neighborhood is super quiet, steps from the Giunigi Tower. We loved our stay here. First impressions: it was HUGE, larger than we expected. Clean, well appointed, tastefully decorated. That might seem dumb but I've stayed in some overly-cluttered VRBOs and this one is refreshingly minimal. We were 3 adults and 2 kids. The bedrooms are a very nice size, with large windows and a/c units. The living rooms (plural), dining room and kitchen are a great size and comfortable. We cooked and ate in the home at least once per day. Again the kitchen has nice flatware and dishes, not a jumble of mish-mashed junk that some VRBOs put in their units. Super easy to cook and eat in the kitchen. There's an entire laundry room w/ a washer/dryer, hanging rack, ironing board. The terrace was a great bonus! We spent a lot of time there, even though it was during a very hot period / heat wave. There's a faucet on the wall that made for a little "Italian fountain" when we needed to cool off. There's a small church across the terrace and we watched a small wedding party leave the church in a horse and carriage. And if you're lucky in the summer, the nearby opera school will have their windows open and you can hear lessonsrehearsals going on in the morning, sometimes most of the day. It's DELIGHTFUL. I miss hearing that every day. Bakeries nearby, great shops, grocery stores, bike rentals, everything is about 5less minutes walk. The beds are super comfortable, showers great, building is quiet. Really there's nothing bad to say about this apartment. Sonia was super helpful with offering all kinds of information, i.e. parking, trash disposal, amenities around the neighborhood, etc. She was super responsive and local (she bikes around town). When we had trouble with the a/c in one room, she brought us fans while a repair was scheduled.
We would not hesitate to stay here again and hope to someday! Thank you! |

We had 6 people stay in this beautiful spacious apartment! It was absolutely gorgeous!! We loved sitting on the patio enjoying food and drinks while we could hear music from the music school behind us. Location was perfect. It is located inside the walls of Lucca tucked away on a quiet street. We used the 2 bikes that were available to us as well. We absolutely loved Lucca and will be returning soon!! Ms. Sonia was so helpful with all our questions prior to our arrival!
Ciao for now!! |
