Lucca, Italy

Guests will receive a warm welcome to this lovely, budget, family-run guest house located in a village in the near country-side, and yet near to Lucca city centre - 4 km from the walls of lucca (3 minutes by train! 10 minutes by car and 15 minutes by bike) - 2 minutes on foot from the nearest train station -3 minutes by car from the a11 motorway Firenze- Pisa- Viareggio).

Before you go ahead and book a city centre hotel , which can often work out one as an expensive options, you should consider the layout of Lucca. Lucca is a small city and it is notable for its compact layout, with the main tourist attractions to be found in the historic and atmospheric Old Town of the Medieval City Walls
All major tourist attractions, monuments and the best pubs, restaurants and shops are located in the very compact Town Centre instead of being scattered around as they are in many other cities.

The guest house is located very close to the city walls of Lucca, surrounded by the countryside landscape and 400 metres away from the train station; so guests can use public transports like the train without any problem! Trains leave almost every hour to different cities like Florence, Pisa, Viareggio, Siena etc. And what's more this location can give guest a cheaper price for the rooms they choose!!

Lucca Town Centre (inside the Walss) can be reached very easily from most directions via public transport (BY TRAIN IT TAKES 4 MINUTES!!) or by car (10 MINUTES!!). It literally takes a few minutes to walk (400 metres!) from the guest house to the nearest train station where trains leave almost every hour connecting to Lucca Town Centre, (the station is just outside the Town Walls – S.Peter's Gate), and to other major cities like Pisa, Viareggio, Florence, Siena etc.
Because is so compact you don't really have to choose a hotel in the Town Centre (inside the Walls) to be close to artistic monuments, attractions, shops and restaurants. Consider a hotel 5-10 minutes away from as hotels just outside of the centre are still easy to access but are usually less expensive and are often in quieter locations and sorrounded by countryside landscape.
Lucca is well served with regular and inexpensive public transport and it only takes a few minutes to get to and from.

Anyway, you can rent a bike, and if you travel by car the nearest motorway is just 2 minutes from the guest house! The local staff will be at your disposal for further information if you need it and they will be pleased to chat with you in your language if you prefer (English and Spanish).
