Il Chiassetto Cozy Apartment in Center town

The location was perfect

The shower was not great ran very hot then cold - Hard pillows Not enough clean towels Really cheap knives / kitchen amenities so it was a little challenging Main negative feedback was loud neighbor downstairs And very dirty community hall areas full of trash rolled up carpets dead plants The views off kitchen and living room were of neighbors dead plants Lots of stairs which was tough at the end of the day

Good size apartment everything you need nice and clean good location

The little bar across was very noisy customers very loud till late evening asked to remove our bin waste but this has always been part of any accommodation we have stayed in before no street bin location provided

Its a renovated apartment with mostly new furniture, except the sofa, carpet and dinning table which do not look quite new. All inside the apartment works fine, there are minor details which could be improved but in general is ok. We understand the building property its not in the host control, its poorly maintained from the entrance hall the way to the apartment door. There is a strong smell of moisture, halls and stairs have not been cleaned in ages… its a dark hall then few spiderwebs in the stairs… looking from the positive side it was an attraction every time for our children. IMPORTANT! I would suggest to add to the description the stairs (35 steps), especially the last few steps which are very narrow. With luggage and small children its something important to consider.

- There are bugs (silverfish?) and once we found in the pillow of one bed. - Need to climb 35 steps to get to the apartment. With luggage and small kids becomes annoying after couple of days, the poor maintenance makes it worse. - WC room has strong drainage smell in the mornings - The restaurant which is almost in front serves only dinner (great food!!) but sometimes can be very loud and for looong hours (not so nice if your kids are used to sleep quietly)

This apartment is in the very centre of town and when we stayed it was the start of the tourist season so it was quite quiet. The apartment is very clean and cosy and has everything you need, even a dishwasher! The beds are also very comfortable. Jules and Antonella were wonderful at letting us know all the essential information about our booking and organising some flowers for my mum’s birthday - thank you. The apartment is near to the Piazza San Michelle square which in our opinion is the best square in Lucca with wonderful cafes to soak in the sun, serving local sweet and savoury food. The square is home to the Taddeucci family bakery who are famous for their Bucellato. Forno a Vapore Amedeo Giusti is also wonderful bakery at the end of the street where the apartment is. Restaurants which we loved included Da Ciacco and the wine bar Enoteca Vanni. We also heard very good things about the wine bar opposite the apartment although you need to book for food! Lucca has everything to offer for a four / five day stay (we didn’t get bored that’s for sure!), with lots of museums and beautiful architecture. The Guinigi tower is well worth a climb for beautiful city views and the city walls are a lovely walk especially at sunset, with Mountain views in the distance! There are also lots of wonderful shops in the city and the people of Lucca are very friendly. We didn't want to leave!!

Nothing

Location was perfect. Central and still within easy reach to the train station. Very comfortable, spacious apartment.

Great location in Lucca. The apartment is on a very old laneway in the heart of the city. A lot of walking tours go by - they are taking about the architecture. Lucca is a great town to visit if you want to have a few days away from the bigger cities. It is well located for Pisa, Viareggio and Florence. Christina was very helpful in greeting us and giving us keys and instructions as well as recommendations for local restaurants and sights. The apartment had a washing machine which was a bonus as we had some laundry to do after travelling for a while.

There are a couple of flights to get into the apartment so be ready for that if you have big bags.
