the location is amazing at the center of the historic center. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, with a resting area, desk, and private bathroom.

Sara United States of America

Lovely Host, helped (saved us) with our access to the city ZTL / parking. Perfect Location central to Lucca. Nice room and facilities, great breakfast. We will stay here again for sure!

Russell United Kingdom

This apartment was fabulous. From the moment I walked in I was already wishing I had more than just two days there. This apartment deserves a week at least. So spacious, so well appointed. Fabulous. Entering the bldg you are met with quite ancient interior hallways and stairwell. The final stairway to the apartment is quite a surprise - very archaic steps that look like they are going to crumble away, but of course, they are stronger than centuries. They slope quite a bit and look like they are sagging. But don't let that fool you into thinking the apartment will be archaic. It is not. It is bright, so well designed, amazing huge windows that block out noise and light if you want. This is an amazing find.

Gina United States of America

room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We even got a small balcony to have a drink in the evening! breakfast was lovely and the host was very kind. And the location was inside the walls close to everything. We will stay here again

Theresa United States of America

La Gemma Di Elena is very well located but it is the service which makes it exceptional. The breakfasts were wonderful and they kindly packed us a breakfast this morning as they knew we were leaving early to start our walk on the Via. Francigena. The room itself was spotlessly clean and the bed super comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Lucca.
