    Very, very noisy. This is obviously not the fault of the host, but be prepared to hear every word and other noises from the other apartments, not speaking of the street noise.

    great original interior

    If you prefer a larger selection of things to eat for breakfast, you might consider an external place as a complement

    Perfect location in the heart of Lucca right on the main street, close to everything. Old historical building with a lot of charm. In the same building you have Dante & Gentucca, bronze medalist in the world championship from Nepolitan Pizza (also a winner many years as Tuscanys best). Can recommend!

    We stayed in Beatrice room and it was very noisy into the early hours and then again early morning, there were ear plugs in the room 😁, I’m a very light sleeper so had limited sleep while there, it didn’t spoil our stay there though.

    Beautiful old property, right in the centre of Lucca old town, was in a fantastic location, it was very clean and had everything you needed, Alessandro the host was very friendly and gave us lots of information.

    The location of L'antica Bifore was perfect - Right in the middle of the walled city. Alessandro, our host, was very helpful and always available, including taking us to the beach on one day. Breakfast was a nice simple sharing a table with other guests. We'll be back!

    L’antica Bifore sits in the exact center of old Lucca, a perfect location for exploring the city within the walls. Our room was large and very comfortable, with thick windows to shut out any street noise from late night revellers. Dante slept in the room next to ours, so you can try to feel his presence. Breakfast was very good, with fresh pastries, good juice, and assorted meats and cheeses. No eggs. Alessandro helped us tremendously with recommendations for restaurants and time saving information about transportation and entertainments. A bonus is the pizza restaurant next door, which served some of the best pizza we had in Italy, by the slice as well as whole pies. Walking the ramparts of the ancient walls is a must activity in Lucca, and they can be reached by walking in any direction for ten minutes. Explore the side streets, get an aperitif at sunset at a cafe on any one of the many piazzas, and enjoy the dolce vita in Lucca.

    The central location does mean it will be very noisy at all hours of the night (garbage trucks etc)

    The owners were very hospitable and picked us up from our car so we could have our bags transported into the ZTL. The room itself was gorgeous, the windows are fantastic. Very central location which made it easy to get around. The owners provided recommendations for activities and organised tickets to the opera. We would most definitely come back! Thank you for having us!

    My bad for not realizing it is the bedroom rental only with common areas shared with three other rooms; however, fortunately for us, there were no other guests at the time. Hauling our luggage through Lucca and up the stairs was not fun, but that is part of the course in any historic Centro

    Beautiful historic Palazzo in the heart of Lucca. The host is incredibly thoughtful and has provided absolutely everything you might need for your stay.
