A large 16th century apartment luxuriously renovated and perfectly positioned inside Lucca's ancient walls in the most exclusive area of centro opposite the cathedral. Flooded with light, the multiple living and dining zones and extraordinary terraces makes this the perfect apartment for several couples holidaying together, or large families on a dream vacation who want all the comforts of home. Each morning you wake to the soft sounds of church bells & the sight of ancient Tuscan beamed ceilings that for centuries have carried this exquisitely renovated & luxuriously appointed apartment through time. Rising to the smell of fresh coffee, you stroll through the sun-filled rooms & ask your personal concierge to book lunch at the local trattoria, followed by an afternoon wine tour. You then relax on the kitchen terrace in the morning sun, enjoying pastries and coffee whilst gazing at the spectacular cathedral & the Tuscan hills. The sounds, sights & smells of Lucca inspire you to wonder at the centuries of secrets waiting to be discovered in this charming medieval town. Living amongst locals means that you are immersed in the local conversations and daily comings and going. A true Italian experience. Retreating to the upper terrace to read & relax, you are immediately mesmerised by the panoramic views of church towers & terracotta roofs haphazardly extending their red glow in all directions embraced by the extraordinary tree lined Roman walls that surround this ancient town. On a whim you invite friends over for your Italian cooking class in the gourmet chef kitchen. After a glorious day exploring the local treasures you relax with an aperativo at sunset & enjoy the opera music wafting up from the church next door. This is la dolce vita & the beginning of another magical night of Italian food & wine under the stars. Bella Vista Lucca leaves you with an incredible feeling and indelible memories.

My name is Caterina and Italy is my true home. I hope you feel the same emotions during your stay. Music, nature and family nourish me. Travelling, good food and great wine makes my life richer. I am a piscean, dog lover, and believe in the importance of the little things. My work with people who are differently-abled teaches me, humbles me, and fills me with joy. Your fabulous local host Manuela speaks so many languages I have lost count! She loves hiking, health and helping people. She is a cat lover, a perfectionist, and knows everyone and everything about Lucca. Manuela will meet you and will be your personal concierge during your stay. Together we work as a team and strive to provide a five star service so you can focus on holidaying and creating amazing italian memories. Benvenuti!
