라 젬마 디 엘레나(La Gemma di Elena)

The position of this B&B is great, in the old centre of Lucca, surrounded by great places to visit and good restaurants. The place itself is charming, a little run down but everything worked. There was no toilet paper in my bathroom, which was disappointing. But the breakfast was very good.

Stay was great as i was in for some work and it was easy to get in and out of. Staff was helpful.

Loved this property. Couldn’t ask for better with the location. We walked to everything. Lucca is not huge but it was good to be in a spot that was fairly quiet at night. We were there for 4 nights that went over a weekend. There was a bar at the end of the street where a LOT of people gathered and there was noise from there but the minute the window was closed you could not really hear them. It was hot weather but the room was cool even with the windows shut so all good. There are restaurants and cafes close by and it is a short walk to the Piazza Anfiteatro where you are spoilt for dining options. Our room, Flora, was big. The bed was very comfortable, water was hot, WiFi was good and there is a fridge. The establishment itself is quiet. We couldn’t hear other guests at all. The included breakfast is very good. Plenty to choose from and should suit everyone. It set us up for the day. The only thing we would have liked was having access to make a cup of tea outside of breakfast hours. Not a complaint but it would have been nice. We didn’t have a car so I can’t comment on the parking area but it was an easy taxi ride from Lucca station. The hosts were amazing. Very helpful and friendly.we would definitely recommend a stay here.

Charming, clean, comfortable, great location. Fabulous breakfast offerings. Finding it was tricky because I was depending on my phone map but the host was very helpful when I called with questions and offered to drive with me to park in their very safe gated lot. Really sweet staff. Great stay.

We would highly recommend to anyone staying in Lucca. We stayed in the garden apar**ent which was amazing - spacious, air conditioned, well equipped kitchen, fabulous shower room and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was served in the main B&B house and was self service continental style with many different options and fresh coffee made to order, including decaf. The covered terrace in the garden was a real bonus. The staff were really helpful and went out of their way to give us the assistance we needed. Cannot comment on parking as we arrived by train from Pisa airport but would advise if you are carrying/dragging heavy luggage (in the heat or the rain) the walk from Lucca station was a bit of a challenge. Gemma di Elena kindly booked us a taxi from the apar**ent to Lucca station which cost 25 euro.

Wonderful location, walking distance to all major sights and parking the car next to the B&B. Wonderful friendly staff that took care of the permit from driving into the city centre. Despite being in the centre, no noise whatsoever. We were very happy

Great accommodations, helpful staff. Hold our bags after check out so we could continue exploring city.

We loved our stay! The one recommendation is to scope out your driving route ahead of time. DO NOT let GPS guide you! We ended up in the wrong area! Other than that, the staff helped us get there once we found our way back! When you park on site, they will set it up so you don’t get fines for driving in the permit zone.

A last minute booking and Lucca gem. I highly recommend staying here.
