B&B Antica Corte dei Principi…read more
The main reason we chose this B&B for our 3 nights is Lucca was the character. It is an old building, not sure how old, but it almost has a medieval feel. That comes with some things that other travelers may not like -- the walls are a bit thin, the stairway is narrow and a little steep, and the rooms and bathrooms are a little small.
Though it may be small, this little place and the owner have a lot of charm. The owner was very sweet. She apologized over and over for her English, but we had no problems understanding her and thought it was great (definitely better than our Italian). She provided a map, as well as recommendations for eating and walking. If you stay here, do yourself a favor and pay attention to this part. All of her recommendations were great. She also provided a decent Italian breakfast, with juices, coffee drinks, pastries, yogurts, fruits, etc.
You also can't beat this location. Although it could be a noisy at night (you could occasionally hear people walking on the street below) and it is a little hard to find, this hotel is right in the heart of Lucca, and probably one of the nicer spots to stay inside the walls. This is one of the cities in Italy that we will definitely include on our next trip!
