Apartment Teo

1 bedroom / 2 bathroom.  Sleeps 2.

This apartment is located in a lovely historic building that dates back 7 centuries. It has been recently updated in a beautiful style of traditional and antique Italian furnishings updated with modern touches.

The apartment has an unbeatable location directly in the center of town. You’re right in the heart of everything, yet the apartment is very quiet and peaceful. There are no neighbors on any side of you, and the street below is pedestrian only, which means that it is very quiet at night (no noisy buses or scooters!).

Since you are right in the center of town, you are steps away from 3 small grocers, 5 or 6 cafes, the main cathedral, 10 restaurants, and Via Fillungo, the shopping paradise of Lucca. It doesn’t get more central than this!

The apartment is spacious and full of light. The living area has a big comfortable couch and armchair, a new TV and DVD player plus iPod deck, as well as a laptop-friendly office area.

The dining area leads onto the beautiful terrace, which is equipped with a table and chairs. There is a washing machine in the utility room out on the terrace as well.  Kick back with a book or a glass of Lucca’s wonderful local wines after a long day of sight-seeing!

The kitchen features stainless steel counter tops, a refrigerator, 4-burner gas stove top, an electric oven, coffeemaker, dishwasher, microwave, electric kettle, blender, food processor, and more. If there’s something you need that you don’t see listed, just ask!  We love to cook, and you’ll find it is fully equipped with cookware and serving utensils. We also provide you with starter amounts of the basics like local olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, coffee, tea, and sugar.

Both bathrooms are beautifully decorated in marble and tile; the downstairs bathroom has a shower, sink, and toilet, while the upstairs also has a bathtub and bidet (as well as a shower, sink, and toilet).

You are only a 5-10 minute walk from the train station or the bus station that will take you to Pisa, Viareggio, Firenze, Cinque Terre, and all over Tuscany and the Garfagnana.

Guest access

The apartment is independent (not shared with any other units in the building). It has independent heating & A/C, its own washing machine, and access to the elevator shared by the other residents of the building.

Interaction with the Hosts

Being flat, Lucca is very bike-friendly and bikes (and pedal-cars) are inexpensive to rent for the day at any of a number of local shops.

Lucca is also the perfect city to explore all of Tuscany.  Lucca has a unique combination of benefits that we believe you’ll find nowhere else in Tuscany. Its location is perfect for exploration: 30 minutes from the Leaning Tower and Pisa International, 30 minutes from the beaches of Viareggio, 45 minutes from the mountains, 80 minutes by train to Florence, and an easy 1-2 hour drive to Siena, Volterra, and the rest of Tuscany.

If you prefer to use Airbnb, the unit is also available here.

*Please note* that due to extreme volatility in energy prices, we require guests to be careful in their energy consumption, which includes turning off AC and heat when leaving the apartment for the day and, when possible, using large appliances (running the dishwasher, etc) in the nighttime hours. Beginning November 1, 2022, we will charge for additional gas usage above the threshold established by the government. We will read the gas meter together on arrival and the night before departure and will calculate the difference owed, which will be payable before departure. As long as you are dress appropriately and you turn off the heat when you leave, there is no need to be concerned about gas usage.
