“Best place we stayed in Italy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We stayed here for two nights in October 2011. This was the cleanest, nicest, classiest, loveliest, and most historic place that we stayed in. It is on the 3rd floor of what was originally a palace. You will feel like a wealthy Lucca resident!Our room was elegant and the bathrooms absolutely immaculate. Breakfast was very adequate, and more substantial than what we got while in Florence. Owners are warm, lovely, and wonderful, helpful hosts who speak great English. They gave great tips to us to make our stay memorable. The people of Lucca are obviously very proud of this unique walled city. It is like a mini Florence only it has more class, and lacks the hustle and bustle, dirt, and higher prices. GREAT SHOPPING. There are few cars within the walled city since only residents can drive in that section. Rent bikes and ride around on the top of the wall (really a wide street w/ no cars allowed...LOVELY) and a great way to get around Lucca. I will return!!

Room Tip: I shared the king sized bed in the ivory room w/ my adult daughter. Very comfy bed and so quiet.

“STAY HERE!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

Great location just off the main drag. Quiet, beautifully appointed, and gracious hosts. Three course homemade breakfasts on the terrace. Guilio and Simone have put their heart and soul into every detail of this simple yet elegant B&B. Three flights up but you will get help with your bags. Can't wait to go back.

“Exceptional B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We loved this B&B for its charm and character. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and the living and dining rooms also had lots of personal touches that made you feel at home, but also give you a taste of Italy and its heritage. The views from our bedroom and the balcony off the dining room were gorgeous. Guilio and Simona were excellent hosts; I especially loved the breakfast in the morning with fresh home-made Italian goodies to try! Not an issue re 3 bathrooms / 5 bedrooms, they were always clean and we never had to wait. We had a lovely meal at a local restaurant recommended by Guilio, we went back twice! The location if great, just off the main shopping street and a short walk to the train station. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and definitely recommend to others.

“Can't be faulted”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Sorry but not much to add to the other reviewers' comments. Its a charming place run by a super, friendly, helpful couple. Location is perfect, large rooms, delicious breakfast with home-made treats, free wi-fi. There are 3 well fitted out bathrooms for the guests so should be enough. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to a friend coming to Lucca.

“What a gem...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is truly a gem in Lucca---the new owners, Guilio and Simona, have transformed the establishment into a light and airy place for your pleasure. At every turn, there is care and attention to detail. Our room was bright, spacious and pretty--and with a fabulous view. There is a wonderful eating area near the kitchen, as well as a sweet terrace to relax on....three large clean bathrooms are down the hall and a sitting room provides books and old-world memorabilia to leaf through...The breakfast is delicious and lovingly put together....Evelina is an affordable bed and breakfast in a great location. It was, by far, the BEST and most personal stay during our vacation…the owners are warm, hospitable and helpful. I absolutely recommend staying here. ps---be prepared for lots of stairs!
