About the location
Holidays in Lucca take you to the beautiful Tuscan countryside in the heart of Italy. This Renaissance town is home to 16th Century architecture and historic sights, with the vineyards and rolling green hills of Tuscany just outside its walls.
Perfect for a city break or part of a longer trip, spend your holidays in Lucca partaking in the ancient Italian art of people watching in the relaxed cafés and family run trattorias lining its streets and bustling Piazzas. Wander the streets or hire bicycles and stop off at the many beautiful sights, before heading into the countryside for wine tasting, exquisite cuisine and spectacular photo opportunities.
Day trips are a must on any holiday in Lucca. Florence’s Renaissance architecture and wonderful artworks are just over an hour away by train or car. Visit the leaning tower of Pisa or the town of Livorno which dates back to the 16th Century. Both are under an hour away.
Transfer time
The hotel is 30 minute transfer from Pisa airport. We recommend hiring a car in your destination. Simply call us once you’ve completed your booking and we will talk you through the options.

We stayed at this charming gorgeous hotel at the beginning of July and we couldn't fault it. The reception staff especially Alessandro were so helpful he suggested and booked 2 lovely restaurants for our stay and was so helpful organising taxis for us when needed. The rooms were lovely and clean and breakfast on the terrace with the birds singing was delightful. The lady who served us coffee and drinks in the morning (I'm unsure of her name) looked after us so well too. Thank you for a lovely break.

The Ilaria is located just outside one of the main gates so an easy walk to everywhere in town. The staff are without exception (in our experience) extremely welcoming and helpful. A pleasure to meet. Or room had everything we wanted and the fact it was in a separate building to the main was no problem at all. Might have been different had it rained. Help to move luggage was immediately available. The breakfast was as good as any we had in Italy and an experienced barista to make the coffee was great!
A small lounge with coffee etc available was a pleasant bonus.
The only problem with Lucca as a whole was getting a taxi from the train station. A future guest might try ringing reception to see if they can fix it if none at the rank.

Great hotel, comfortable rooms. It is well located for all that Lucca has to offer. Happy hour complementary prosecco, beer & snacks. A good breakfast selection. Bikes that you can use to get about or simply cruise around the city walls. A couple more English TV channels would have been nice. Helpful in booking restaurants.

Best hotel in Lucca!
We went on our honeymoon to Lucca and ended up in this extraordinary hotel. Beautiful rooms, but the breakfast is something extra. It’s placed inside the city walls and has just a short walking distance to all the good restaurants. The morning promenade is perfect to take on the city’s defense wall. I really recommend this hotel!
