Appartamento Stellario

Excellent location. Walking distance to the station and many bars and restaurants. Well equipped kitchen and air conditioning.

Everything was great.

Balcony was over a very unkept area

great location. comfortable beds. well staffed kitchen. pleasant furniture. clean. and the fabulous city of Lucca. a very walkable place with a great vibe.

at times cold and a touch damp in the apt. but it’s April and that may be typical. main complaint was unable to contact owner despite numerous calls before arriving. walked there from train station and found his father waiting for us to let us in. he was pleasant but it was unnerving not knowing if anyone was going to be there when we arrived as we were told to contact him 2 hours before arrival.

The apartment was ideally located, really close to restaurants, the historic centre, the beautiful city walls and all local ameneties. It's decorated in keeping with the town's setting and has plenty of charm and character, whilst offering all the basic modern facilities one could wish for. The owner is always available and prompt to answer queries and assist if necessary.

A few extra towels would be convenient. It was not a problem for us, but, located on the first floor, there are narrowish stairs which could be more challenging for people with reduced mobility.

The flat itself is well maintained and equipped. We can recommend this place if you only stay for 1-2 nights and without car or any mentionable luggage.

The big negative is the missing parking space eventhough the ad clearly states that there is parking and in the pictures you see the street & house with parking spaces. When we arrived we were told we cannot park there and even the unloading is a problem since its within a ZTL so illegal to drive there. We stayed for one week with a child, so we have more than just a suitcase. The actual available parking garage is a long walk away and will cost you +/- 20€ per day, so you have to calculate a lot of extra money just for parking. You have to inform your guests about this situation and not describe this „issue“ in a folder INSIDE the appartment. Unfortunatly it is also very loud, you will hear every word that is spoken on the street and every car that drives by (locals are allowed to drive there and they do so plenty…).

the property was very spacious & had two bathrooms which was a bonus along with the outside balcony.

The bedding was very sparse as there was extra pillows in the wardrobe however no pillow covers/slips on them or anywhere else in the apartment so they could not be used. Also on arrival it would of been nice to have a bottle of cold water in the fridge along with some milk ,coffee & teabags just a few basics to see you through until you go shopping. one last thing the apartment was not throughly cleaned as when packing my case to leave, I came across a pair of red knickers down the back of the wardrobe obviously left from the previous occupants!!!
