팔라초 투치 레지덴자 데포카(Palazzo Tucci Residenza d'Epoca)

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The positives are the staff who are lovely and helpful, and the perfect location. There is a lift which is helpful since it is about 30 steps up to reception which can be difficult with luggage. This is an elegant, very old palazzo still run by the family. I will say that I was the only guest so it felt a bit eerie. It didn't help that it was pouring rain during most of my stay. You enter the building into a very cold, unwelcoming inner courtyard. Dingy flooring and dusty old fake floral centerpiece. Since its a first impression, think the courtyard could be freshened up with a new coat of paint and some fresh decorative touches. It would make a world of difference. That said, once you enter the actual hotel, it is very pretty with frescoes and paintings on the ceilings and walls. Rooms are spacious. There are minor fixes needed. Towels were clearly laundered but mine were tired and spotted. Bed was very comfortable with crisp linens. As a solo female guest, it was a little creepy entering the courtyard at night although Lucca is safe. The reception is not staffed 24 hours. I don't know if I would stay there again but would be good for families since the spaces are huge.

Truly a unique fantastical experience. If you are ever wondered what it might be like to stay in a old palace, this is the place. Cavernous rooms huge paintings on wall, and well, a palatial feeling. No it's not a huge buffet fir breakfast and feeling like a Hilton, but that's the best part. It's right in the city, parking on site and lovely host who's family has owned the palace for 900 years. And very reasonable price. It can be spooky at night for the kids, but it's not an issue, adds to the mystique.

If you stay anywhere in Lucca then make sure it is here. We stayed in the huge La Wally Suite which, while being a huge room, was an experience in itself. Having walked around and visited many palazzo’s during the visit it was great fun to actually stay in one. Entry is through massive wooden doors in to a dark courtyard then ascend the stone stairs (or the lift when you have cases) and enter in to the gloriously decorated rooms. Breakfast is served with huge paintings on the walls to admire and set you up for a day enjoying wonderful Lucca.

Lucca is one of our favorite towns in Italy. Palazzo Tucci was perfect for our short stay. The palace is beautiful and intriguing, furnished with antiques and original paintings. It was a real experience to stay there. The breakfast was great and the ability to safely park our car in the courtyard fantastic! We were well-cared for by the host.

This place lives up to its name. A true 18th century palace, including furniture and surroundings. Spacious, obviously and offering a fairly decent breakfast. Its rates -to my surprise- were actually lower than those I paid in 3 star hotels in Florence.

The property is very beautiful and unique!!! Luxury!! We definitely want to be back!!!

What an amazing place! A fantastic palazzo, full of beauty and grandeur. My room was, in a word, palatial! With a huge and comfortable bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was in a beautiful room with wonderful painted ceiling. If you are staying in beautiful, historic Lucca and want to stay in a place that is part of its history, this is the place for you! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful huge room. Great location and staffs. The dining room felt like a royal palace. I

We really enjoyed our experience in this splendid building! Mr Tucci was an excellent host, gifting us with a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our honeymoon!
