Serviced Apartments in Lucca

An agricultural city situated on the River Serchio in Tuscany, surrounded by ancient walls and backed by lush, rolling green hills offering a lovely setting in Lucca for a holiday apartment or aparthotel.

Why not discover the rich mix of architecture and ancient archaeology with a stroll through the historical centre just a stones throw from your Lucca apartment rental or serviced residence. In Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, as it’s name states, you will find the ruins of an ancient Roman amphitheatre well worth a browse as well as the architecturally pleasing structure of the Basilica of San Frediano.

Another structure that warrants a look is the Duomo or Cathedral of St. Martin. This lovely building boasts an eclectic mix of architectural styles and an incredibly beautiful façade made up of archways and tiered galleries studded with exquisite sculptures. The interior houses the very impressive Volto Santo di Lucca. This life sized carving of Christ nailed to the crucifix and enrobed in a long tunic type garment was said to be the craftsmanship of Nicodemus and miraculously appeared in the town in the year 782. The chapel where the crucifix is housed is simply stunning. The cathedral also boasts numerous works of religious art including Jacopo Tintoretto’s Last Supper which is really worth viewing.

The Cathedral Museum also showcases numerous religious exhibits and intriguing artefacts from the cathedral itself.

The 800 year old clock tower, Torre delle Ore, offers you the most spectacular views of the city if you can face climbing the 200 steps to the top but if not then a stroll along the main street, Via Fillungo will prove less strenuous and reward you with plenty of shopping opportunities as well as even more beautiful old buildings to admire.

Before retiring to your service apartment or holiday letting in Lucca why not enjoy a traditional Tuscan meal and a bottle of excellent local wine in one of the historic centre’s superb restaurants for the perfect end to a lovely day.
