We stayed here for two nights during a week long trip to Tuscany and Rome. Of the 4 places we stayed during the trip, Il Seminario was the best. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are nicely decorated, modern and clean, and the location is perfect for exploring Lucca itself and for getting to the train station.... More

Anything within the walls of Lucca is within walking distance of the town's sights and restaurants. This place is inside the walls, and offered a large, clean room, decent breakfast and incredibly friendly staff. Paolo, Irene and Manuela made the stay very pleasant, and Paolo directed us to some exceptional restaurants, including Cantine Bernardini (be sure to go there). We... More

We highly recommend this charming B&B to couples or families or any type of group. Our apartment was spacious and very clean, and perfectly located to explore Lucca, but at the same time it is located on a quiet and charming street, only a 2 minute walk from the city center. Paolo is the manager and will do anything to... More

Lucca is absolutely charming and this B&B suited us down to the ground for a 2-night stay. It's within the city walls so really convenient for everything as Lucca is a walking city only in effect. However it has its own free, private car park on-site so the best combination of both. Our room was clean, comfortable and practical with... More

BEST!! My friend and I planned this trip since October 2012 and I made the best decision to stay here. The place was immaculate! Paolo was the one that checked us in since we arrived at night. We were starving and he took the time to call some restaurant to make sure it was open before we even walk there.... More

We spent three nights in Lucca at Seminario. When you walk through the door the beauty of the small B&B is the first thing you notice. Everything is spotlessly clean, with a wonderful full breakfast. We only met the young lady at the front desk, who was charming and helpful, though I did speak to Paolo on the phone, who... More

Paolo and Manuella along with the entire staff is a great find. Across from Lucca train station and within the walls, we could even park our vehicle just behind the B&B. Nice clean rooms, great Italian breakfast, but the staff is the best part. Take Paolo's recommendations on restaurants. Great finds.

We loved everything about this B&B. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and the breakfast was outstanding. The folks that ran it were helpful, informed and engaging. We recommend it highly. As a small, Italian walled city and the birthplace of Puccini., Lucca was a delight, Unfortunately, we arrived after dark at the far end of the city from Il Seminario.... More

My husband and I spent four nights touring Lucca and stayed in this quaint B&B. Paolo was incredibly accomodating - so much so, that when we got terribly lost trying to find the place, he came and rescued on on his bicycle! Clean rooms, generous breakfast and accomodating staff. We welcomed the powerful air conditioning during an incredibly humid late... More
