Guest Reviews

• Roxane (8/5): - Super emplacement, chouette chambre et propriétaire très accommodant.
• Amanda (10/5): - The host Federico is great. He gave us several tips and recommendations about Lucca right upon arrival, and was always available on Whatsapp to help out with any questions we might have.
• Aurora (10/5): -
• Giulia (10/5): - Posizione strategica, a pochi passi dal centro storico. Il proprietario gentilissimo, pronto a dare qualsiasi informazione su cosa vedere a Lucca. Stanza ampio, luminosa e accogliente, pulita Consigliatissimo Nulla
• Susan L (10/5): - Very clean, great location. The host was very helpful and friendly. Very comfortable. My personal bat/shower were down the hall but not a problem. Was able to leave my bags on my departure day until I was ready to catch the train. No issues.
• Josef (5/5): - Gute Lage zu Sprachschule LIS. Etliche Bars, Pasticcerias und Restaurant. Kein Zimmerservice obwohl ich eine ganze Woche da gewohnt habe.
• Claire (8/5): Wonderful! - Friendly and warm welcome. Location is perfect!
• Monique (9/5): Fijn verblijf! - Gastvrije host met wie het makkelijk contact leggen is. Hij geeft goede adviezen voor je bezoek aan Lucca! B&B ligt aan een rustige straat, dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. En een goed bed en fijne douche! Er was mogelijkheid tot het zetten van thee.....en oploskoffie. Verse koffie had lekker geweest!
• Luigi (10/5): Sereno, tranquillo e senza nessuna difficoltà - Il referente della struttura si è dimostrato attento e premuroso. All'arrivo si è dedicato a noi, illustrandoci i monumenti e i musei della città, i percorsi di visita, la distribuzione di ristiranti tipici e dei servizi utili (lavanderie, farmacie, etc.). E' stato sempre disponibile nel corso del nostro soggiorno e ci ha facilitato notevolmente nella fase di partenza. La posizione del B&B è strategica, vicinissima al centro storico. Ottimo e consigliato.
• Vito (10/5): Purtroppo breve - Posizione perfetta, dentro le mura, comoda a tutti i luoghi di interesse, ma non nella zona più turistica e forse rumorosa. Una bella sorpresa la vecchia cucina adattata a camera con il giusto gusto. Federico un ottimo host.
• Nicolas (8/5): Die Lage ist toll und man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen. Der höfliche Gastgeber gibt gerne Tipps. - Die Lage ist hervorragend, alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Gastgeber war höflich und hat mir erklärt, was ich in der Stadt besichtigen konnte. Außerdem gibt er gerne Tipps, wenn ein Konzert (z. B.) zu Ostern stattfindet. Er ist z. B. per Handy erreichbar. Das Schlafzimmer (mit Schlüssel) ist von dem Rest getrennt und man ist total unabhängig. Wegen der zentralen Lage (restaurants, bars ...) war es ein bisschen laut in der Nacht aber mit Ohropacks ging's einigermaßen. Ich habe es auch erwartet wegen der Lage, die auch viele Vorteile hat.
• Kevin (10/5): Great welcome and great room, would highly recommend. - Great location, very clean and comfortable
• Nicholas (10/5): Very enjoyable stay in a lovely spacious room that had been converted from a kitchen. - Breakfast not included. The accomodation was excellent. The area was central and had a good friendly vibe about it. Although the toilet/shower was separate it was only a couple of metres from the room. It fully met expectations.
• Elisa (7/5): Sprachreise à Lucca - Lage direkt im Zentrum, Freundlichkeit des Gastgebers, mein Hund durfte mit. Internet ging leider nicht, aber da kann die Unterkunft nichts zu. Ein Kühlschrank im Zimmer wäre bei einer Woche praktisch.
• John (7/5): -
• Phuong Anh (9/5): Excellent Location with nice host - Great host, location and clean room
• Gaudier (10/5): Excelent personal treatment/ - The host was very nice and helpful with the service at my arrival explaining the city, providing a map, giving advices, and suggestions of places to eat. The most amazing experience was the day after my checkout when he contacted me because I leave my ID on a bike rental nearby, He was willing to send it to my next stop of my travel and give constant follow up. I will always be grateful for him. That is real service. !! Thank you John.
• paola (7/5): -
• oscar (9/5): -
• Maria Veronica (10/5): - La ubicación es muy buena, estás caminando a todos los atractivos de Lucca y puedes llegar caminando también desde la estación de tren. El alojamiento es tal cual se ve en las fotos, muy lindo, cómodo, amplio, limpio... se nota la preocupación en todos los detalles. Federico estuvo muy atento a nuestra llegada, nos mostró en un mapa todos los atractivos de Lucca lo que fue muy útil. Al irnos no tuvo ningún problema con que dejáramos nuestro equipaje unas horas posterior al check out, fue un muy buen anfitrión. Nada, todo estuvo perfecto.
• Roisko (9/5): Good welcoming feeling - Owner was very frendly and location inside the old Town and near the wall which was dogs favorite place. Nothing to complain
• Ernesto (10/5): Struttura accogliente e molto pulita bagno confortevole - Molto pulita e ben posizionata per girare la città
• Sarah (9/5): Good for short stay if you can manage stairs - Within the walls and close to the centre Basic and two steep flights of stairs John helped with cases but not suitable for people who find stairs a challenge. John the host is very nice
• Fabian (9/5): Cozy room to stay in Lucca - Very nice host in a cozy appartment with a room perfect to stay in for a few days!

• Mark (10/5): Excellent stay there for the Lucca Summer Festival - Location was excellent within the Lucca wall. Only a walk to everything we needed. Including the railway station. Communication was fast and lots of information Nothing
• Anastasia Dosidi (10/5): - Federico is a very discreet yet warm host. Very easy to communicate with and very eager to help. His place is clean, neat and tidy and at a really very good location. Generally a very welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable immediately! We enjoyed our stay a lot!
• Armando (10/5): - Host estremamente disponibile e struttura pulitissima Stanze poco spaziose
• Ziliara (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, very friendly host, everything clean, air conditioning in the room. Everything was perfect! -
• Stefano (9/5): Great location to your Lucca - Frederico was a wonderful host. He made sure to be there when we arrived and explain much about Lucca. Everything was very clean. 👍 Our bathroom was not attached, but down the hall. Very easy to get to, and very clean.
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (8/5): A nice place for a couple of nights - Great location for exploring. excellent restaurants nearby. Comfortable room, good AC, OK wifi
• Snezhana (10/5): Step Back in Time — with Style! - We absolutely loved our stay at John B. B&B! The place is a beautiful blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The interior is truly impressive — original elements like the walls and furniture have been carefully preserved, creating a unique and authentic atmosphere. We especially appreciated the design of our room — it felt like stepping back in time, but with all the conveniences of today. The host was very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. A truly cozy, warm, and thoughtful experience. Highly recommend this place — we would definitely love to come back! The only thing we missed a little was real coffee in the morning — everything else was perfect.
• Kaye (9/5): Loved our stay in Lucca - Large, light and airy room. Clean and the bed was very comfortable. Close to wall, and major attractions. Frederico is a great host and gave us a run down of what to see and local cafes and restaurants. A separate toile outside the bedroom but it was only used by us and it was spotlessly clean and light. Great shower.
• Ken (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, convenient and everything worked. Would happily revisit and recommend. Nothing to complain about.
• Ashley (10/5): Very good and great host. - Location A tv in the room would be a good addition.
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Reuben (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jason (10/5): A must stay accommodation - Federico was excellent straight from making the booking. We had contact via WhatsApp on what to do and approx time of our arrival. Had a few minutes chat on things to do where to go etc. Room was excellent and a brilliant location of Lucca. Would highly recommend to anyone on a trip to Lucca to use this accommodation. 5 stars 🇮🇹👍😎 thanks Jay & Wendy 🇬🇧 N/a
• Eleanor (10/5): Great host - Wonderful, welcoming and very spacious Nothing
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Malcolm (9/5): Superb -
• Tom (9/5): Very good choice for a visit to Lucca - Frederico is helpful and takes time with you to orient you to the city. He’s eager to see that you have a good time. It’s a really good location right on the edge of the city close to the train station. It’s a spacious comfortable room. Lots of windows. It’s a long walk up two,flights of stairs with any luggage. Not for anyone with mobility challenges. The bathroom is private but it’s outside the room right across a small hallway. Need to throw some clothes on. There are families living in the building on the floor above. It’s a building that predates notions of privacy and soundproofing so it’s noisy at times. Perhaps adds to the charm of the place.
• Lamkaj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and a friendly welcome. No complaints at all, bed, shower and room all very good. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.
• Simon (9/5): A very comfortable stay in a beautiful city made even better by a very helpful host - Locations very friendly and helpful host
• Phil (9/5): A relaxing and enjoyable stay in JohnB. &B in the beautiful city of Lucca - Frederico was the perfect host, he was there to greet us when we arrived late because of a train strike, he suggested places to visit during our stay and even rang up a restaurant to check that they were still serving customers as it was past 10pm on a Sunday night. The accommodation was clean and well maintained, the shower in the bathroom was very good with all of the relevant facilities. It was in a good location and very secure. I would recommend John B. &B to anyone staying in Lucca. I cannot think of anything that I did not like.
• James (8/5): Very good -
• O'connor (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and comfortable room. The host, Federico, was very friendly, informative and helpful throughout our stay. Great location, with everything within easy walking distance . There were no issues.
• Charlotte (10/5): Comfortable and welcoming B&B in the heart of Lucca - We had a fantastic stay at John B&B. Federico was a kind and attentive host, he provided extensive info on the town and things to do and made us feel right at home. The room and bathroom were modern, clean and super comfortable and the location is central. We would definitely return! :)
• Tara (10/5): Perfect stay! - Fredericco is a gem! A host who loves his city and will give you some great recommendations. The room was immaculate, Best bathroom and shower in Italy. Close to everything you need but on a quiet street. Beautifully decorated. Fantastic experience! Nothing.
• Michal (10/5): Excellent. Our go-to accommodation in Lucca. Highly recommended! - Very friendly host, clean room. Everything within walking distance. Nothing
• Luisa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rick (9/5): A place to return for a peaceful stay - Federico, the resident owner and manager of the property is absolutely fantastic. A joy to speak with and refer to for any recommendations. The room was comfortable, despite not being road facing the building itself stands on the main street and very easy to commute to anywhere in the beautiful Lucca. While recognising the structure of how air b&b typically tend to work (without breakfast, and also as advertised) and considering there are a hundred places to grab food on the high street, the pricing strategy could consider this component.
• Katri (9/5): Superb - Lovely stay! Our room didn't have an AC even though it says in the amenities that it should.
• Dominic (10/5): Romantic, lovely and relaxing. - Very pleasant communication with John - he is a lovely host in all possible ways. The location of the B&B is perfect (in the centre of Lucca) and the rooms are clean and cosy. -

• Leslie (10/5): An ideal base for this solo traveler in Lucca, Italy. - The location is good and the room I had was pleasant and comfortable.

He welcomed me when I arrived and he provided me many suggestions and answers. I have no complaints.

• Anonymous (10/5): Great place to stay for visiting Lucca and would definitely stay here again! - Room was lovely; excellent bathroom. Frederico, our host could not have more helpful. He gave a useful overview of highlights to visit in the city (and lent us a great guide book) and excellent restaurant recommendations. He promptly answered messages, and was very supportive when we lost a travel bag. There was nothing we didn’t like.

• White (8/5): Great place to stay would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in old town Luca. - Great location. Clean and well kept, good facilities. Manager Federico is a great person, immediately helped us when we needed it Bit hot for sleeping, but fan was provided to help.
• Ilia (9/5): Excellent place for couple of days - Everything was wonderful. The location is excellent, close to a good restaurant and an excellent pizzeria, a street inside the walls of the old city, but not restricting parking by ZTL rules. The owner is friendly and ready to help with any question. The room itself is equipped with everything necessary for a good rest, a comfortable bed and excellent pillows, good soundproofing of the windows, there is a patisserie with a coffee shop a step away from the place, so no need for a coffee machine in the room. Excellent option for a couple of nights. Didn’t find
• Alan (10/5): Excellent -
• Ian (8/5): very clean spacious accommodation - great location. very friendly host. early check in. room very clean and spacious. air con a bit noisy so couldn’t run at night.
• Colin (9/5): affordable affluence inside the old city walls - A secure, and amazing tastefully renovated 15 century space with exposed beams, ancient wash basin and medieval pizza oven with your own contemporary bathroom. The friendly host Frederico is available on site (cups, plates,cutlery supplied if needed)and met us to show us around. You can drink from tap or water fountains and cheap supplies(Hao Li Lai Mercatoni) and groceries (LIDL)just outside Porto Elisa so only like 800 M total. Up a few fights of stairs and no air conditioner Despite having to leave windows open and outside noise during day and evening, we slept well. so not a big problem.
• Michal (9/5): Cosy, clean, friendly owner - highly recommended. Would stay again. -
• Martin (9/5): Superb - Very good location inside the city walls. Excelent communication via WhatsApp. Very clean and comfy room. The private bathroom is outside the room, but very near. A bit noisy sorrounding. But it's not the owner's fault.

• Julie (8/5): Will definitely recommend to others, very peaceful and so relaxing. Thank you Federico. - The location was in a quiet part of the city, so good for sleeping at night. Although no breakfast was provided the little patisserie close by was excellent and very reasonable. Can't think of of a thing that could have been better. The bathroom looked brand new and spotless. It would have been great if it was en suit, however a little trip down the corridor was just fine.

He gave us good recommendations for restaurants, told us about the highlights of the city and was flexible about check in and out. Our room was the old kitchen of the apartment which was charming. Not all the rooms have AC. Ours didn’t but with 2 windows and a fan we were very comfortable.
• Nikolas22t (8/5): Great Host, very helpful , Good room - The room was renovated , and was fine for 2 days. We travel with 1 baby , and host was great and helped us a lot , he keep our luggage safe for almost 3 hours after the checkout. Location is also good and near restaurant in the center of Lucca. For the minus of the rooms, 1st Is that that the bathroom is outside the room but for 1-2 days is ok! The bathroom was really new and very clean although. 2nd there is no elevator in the building and was very tiring to go up and down with a stroller and a baby since is on the 2nd floor.
• Justus (10/5): pleasant - de airconditioning -
• Adam (9/5): Superb - Great value location inside the walls of Lucca. Facilities are basic but comfortable. Bathrooms are outside the room, but you get your own bathroom. Host was very nice and responsive to any questions I had while in the area. Would stay again for sure.
