Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a great place to stay and chill out. It's run by a lovely lady Franca who is very helpful and will tell you the best places to visit. It's a short walk from the train station and when you get there you can stroll around the town at your leisure. It's very romantic and quirky. Lucca it's a must visit town in Tuscany, also 25 min train ride to Pisa so it makes a good base. A couple of things to point out is the walls are very thin, it can get busy at breakfast time and our bathroom smelt a little drainy at times. Would i go back Yes, would I recommend it to a friend most definately, go and enjoy. ps great little cocktail bar just outside to the right.

We stayed for three nights in a beautiful room which was spacious, clean and uniquely decorated. The whole hotel is beautifully decorated in a medieval theme throughout. Our host Franca was very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a central location in Lucca and is a 10 minute walk from the station. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel when visiting Lucca.

Lucca is a town with narrow, cobbled streets and squares and the Antica is situated down a very narrow street but our sat-nav found it with not problems. It is a very old building with approximately 6/8 bedrooms, our room was very spacious with a large four poster bed and shower room, everything was very clean and comfortable. It was quiet until morning when local businesses begin their day but nothing too disturbing. The location is close to lots of shops and restaurants, also public parking was nearby. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of choice, we would stay here again if visiting Lucca.

Top location although it was a bit noisy early in the morning, don't let that stop you staying here. Franca is a great host and the B&B complements Lucca perfectly....loved it. Walk everywhere from here and ideal for a short stay in this lovely City.

Great location in the centre of Lucca. Comfortable and characterfully decorated bedroom, good quality en-suite and lovely breakfasts. Rooms overlooking the street were a little noisy in the mornings but this only added to the charm of being located so centrally.

If you want to experience the full the impact of ancient Lucca, there is nowhere better to start off than by staying at this B&B. Quirky, worn stone stairs, painstakingly renovated original features, the building exudes the historical features of this amazing town. The room and shower room were small but adequate, beautifully decorated and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is ideally situated within the centre of old Lucca, and with map supplied and places of interest pointed out, easy to find your way around the alleys and piazzas. Thanks again Franca for your warm welcome and great hospitality. I left with warm memories of a truly amazing place and would stay there again without hesitation.

Quirky interesting decor, just fabulous to stay there. When we first saw pics of this B&B we thought "gotta stay there" and it did not disappoint. Superbly located within the city walls, simple walks to all attractions, restaurants etc. 90% plus customer rating fully earned. When we complained on the first morning that the shower head was faulty (most water shot out the side of the head not down) this was rectified with a new head by mid afternoon. We are hoping there is availability to stay there when we next visit Lucca.

This is a brilliant place to stay, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated, the receptionist was lovely and breakfast was good. We arrived after the manned check-in was closed, but they emailed us an access code to get in and we had no problems. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. I really hope to return for another stay before too long!

We spent 2 days in Lucca and really enjoyed our stay here. It's very clean and well-located in the center of the town, only 10 minutes from the bus/train station and handy for everything. Franca was a lovely host- very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was good with pastries, cheese, ham, cereal, fruit and good Italian coffee.
