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.

From the moment we arrived we felt at home in this lovely friendly hotel. The staff were charming without exception. Check in was seamless with a very helpful and informative lady on the desk. The room was small but perfectly adequate for our 3 night stay, The bathroom had a walk in shower, controls & heating very manageable. Breakfast was plentiful with both continental and hot food, and attentive staff. And the hotel offers complimentary Prosecco and nibbles for a couple of hours every evening which was very welcoming . Nothing but praise for Ilaria, we would definitely be back here should we find ourselves in Lucca again.

Four of us stayed for a long weekend at this hotel and cannot over praise it.
It is well located a very short distance from one of the arched entrances to the town. It is modern and well appointed and very clean. Breakfasts were superb and set us up for the day and there are complimentary aperitifs in the late afternoon.
Reception staff were extremely helpful in providing information and restaurant recommendations and arranging airport transfers. We took the train to Florence (having done this journey several times before) but unfortunately it broke down and we were left stranded at a tiny un-manned station. The promised replacement bus did not materialise. We couldn’t find a local taxi or bus and in desperation telephoned the hotel who couldn’t locate a taxi either but instead sent their junior intern Stefano to collect us in his own car to return to Lucca. He was a credit to the hotel and I cannot imagine receiving such fantastic customer service in the UK. Apart from this blip, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is really well placed, easy to get to and well priced. Staff are helpful, friendly and professional. The complimentary all day drinks and snacks are a really nice touch and really hit the spot after a days walking the city. Breakfast is excellent and the rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. Couldn’t fault this hotel in any way.

Delightful hotel - excellent staff and service. Booked a last minute trip to Tuscany and Lucca. Found this gem of a hotel and we were lucky they had availability. Been recently modernised inside and the room was great with wonderful silent air conditioning. The terrace with tub was a nice feature but in the hot weather there were some bugs about. The breakfast and daily “happy hour” with courtesy prosecco and beers were super. However the staff are the real gem - reception staff through the day and evening/night were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast staff and the gentleman stocking the happy hour drinks etc were ever so attentive. Special mention for Alina on breakfast- she remembers your coffee/tea order from the first morning and even your room number - thank you again for the excellent cappuccinos! Highly recommend- will return when in the area

We have just returned from a fantastic 2 night stay at Hotel Ilaria. We were in Lucca for a wedding and Hotel Ilaria were brilliant from beginning to end.
In advance of travel they got in touch about airport transfers which they arranged at a competitive price in comparison to quotes we had heard from other members of the wedding party. Transfers were on time and excellent drivers.
When we arrived we were upgraded from our standard double to a suite that had a huge bed on a mezzanine level and 2 bathrooms.
Great choice of food at breakfast and a brilliant location for exploring the city.
Would definitely recommend!
