Antica Corte dei Principi Charming Rooms

Property is in a great location, close to the heart of Lucca. Down a quiet alley, we slept so well as it was lovely and peaceful. I had read the great reviews prior to booking but honestly, it was the medieval them and wall artwork that sold me!

Great Location and room decor Check in procedure very efficient

Closed traffic zone: Impossible to reach by car for baggage download and upload. It should be allowed to customers to request temporary transit only permits for that

Excellent location, charming decor

Plumbing needs maintenance

The morning staff person, Silvia, is the best part of staying at this bed and breakfast. She is friendly, helpful, and will even teach you Italian phrases if you ask! She sets up the continental breakfast, makes coffee to order, and checks in guests who arrived the prior afternoon and evening when there is no staff member on site. During those hours, guests use an emailed door code to enter the building and pick up their room keys. The bed was firm and comfortable. The bath fixtures are good, although the shower is very small. The shower worked for me, but a larger person would probably have trouble stepping inside the enclosure and shutting the door.

To reach the guest rooms and the breakfast room you must climb a steep interior stone staircase. Two of the rooms and the breakfast room are one flight up. The other four rooms are two flights up. There is no elevator, and no staff to help with carrying luggage. This is not a good choice for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.
