Great house, good position, lovely host

The house is in a good position, as it's immediately outside of the walls, 1 minute from the train station. That is a bit of an issue during the Lucca Comics and Games - due to the amount of people - but all in all is a good spot. We did not meet the house host, however they were lovely and left us sweets for Halloween and a bottle of wine. Greatly recommended! An elevator would be great, but I know it is not possible in such an old building. So nothing to point out :)

Relaxing location close to it all

The property was very clean, comfortable and safe. Lots of room to relax, particularly with the patio. Very close to the train and a short 5 min walk to the city walls. Highly recommend.

Lucca home base

Wonderful stay at Casa Gina. Beautiful apartment, great location outside the wall, train station and highway. A great stay and launch pad to see surrounding areas. Loved the patio. Perfect for a relaxing evening with a glass of wine.

First Class

Beautiful property. Though not inside the walls of the historic city, it’s just a short walk. An even shorter walk to the train station. Newly appointed furnishings, outdoor dining, and great location.

Excellent place to stay in Lucca

Appartement is even better than in the description. Fully equipped, there is nothing to miss. Appartement looks exactly like on the pictures. A place to feel like home right after your arrival. Just a short walk to Lucca city or the train station. Parking lots always to find close to the appartement. Lucca Appartments as well as the owner very friendly and care in case of any questions.

Casa Gina

Location is fantastic. 3 minutes walking to the train station but no noise from the train; 7 minutes to the San Pietro gate of the wall. 15 minutes to the Esselunga supermarket. The patio is what sells this place for outdoor living. The third bedroom is only closed off by a curtain so ideal for kids but no privacy for adults. Manuel was great and responded promptly to any request we had. We would definitely come back for another visit.

Lovely, cosy stay

A special thanks to our host Manuel, from the moment he contacted us long before our arrival he was very helpful and checking to make sure our stay was pleasant throughout. The apartment itself was lovely and a very spacious apartment that’s ideally located for public transport and especially for walking around Lucca and it’s historic walls. The terrace was more than enough for my wife and myself and it would have accompanied a lot more people, unfortunately, the sun was lost behind the apartment about 4pm, but as we spent most of the time travelling around Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Viareggio etc this was not an issue for us. We would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone that is thinking of staying in Lucca for a holiday

Home away from home

From the moment we stepped in, the warm welcome of this place was a great start. Manuel welcomed us as if we were a family, he was friendly, accomodating and kind. The lovely bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Great job! Then as we walked around room by room, the place even looked more beautiful. It's modern with a feel of luxury, clean, updated and comfortable. The house is fully equipped and our most favorite is having breakfast or afternoon quick nap on the patio/balcony. The view from it is is very relaxing and the neighborhood is quiet. We highly recommend Gina Casa and we will def stay here again next year. Look no more. The location is perfect. There are few cafes and bakery around the place. Illy Cafe and IL Pane are our go to with fresh baked bread and pastry. The house is 10 min walk to the walled city and super easy. Just know that part of the walk is this 75 steps stairs that you climb to get to the other side but it wasn't a big deal, it's a great way to get your cardio going before hitting the city. Parking is easily available and white lines spot means free parking. Thank you for sharing your house. We had a great experience and memories made at Gina Casa. Arivederchi!

Above and beyond service, great option for our family

We stayed for 5 nights at Casa Gina with our family of 5 — my husband and me, and 3 teenage daughters. We stayed in lovely hotels in Venice and Padua, and delighted to have this Lucca apartment as our home base for six days of day trips in Tuscany. The apartment was very clean and simply appointed, taking into account the needs of intl guests like ourselves (dishwasher, washer dryer, A/C, IKEA kitchen). The best part about our stay here was Monica, our “concierge”, a Lucca native. Monica went above and beyond for us. My husband got unexpectedly sick; she had a trusted doctor come for a house visit within hours. Our girls needed a place to run/train for their high school track team; Monica recommended the Lucca wall but also helped us with access to a local track where they could do their workout. I wasn’t sure if our car was legally parked overnight; Monica went to check on it (it wasn’t! Still learning my Italian parking signs), and then she personally camped out saving a legal spot for me to repark. She also helped us shorten a long list of restaurants and cafes for the ones that would be just right for our teenage daughters. It’s location just outside the wall was worth the more affordable nightly fee vs inside the wall. We could find free parking nearby to then easily use our car rental for day trips to Cinque Terre, a day hike in the nearby mountains, and a cooking class at a winery deep in the countryside. Recommend.

Exceeded All Expectations

An amazing month at Casa Gina, exceeded all expectations. What a perfect location, literally 2 mins from the train station. A 7 minute walk to inside the walls where there were so many shops, restaurants, and activities and markets in the many piazzas throughout the town. After a days outing we returned to Casa Gina our home away from home. Upon arrival it was spotlessly clean - after 2 weeks we asked for a light house cleaning which was done one day when we were out. Upon return, we found the entire apartment completely cleaned as it was when we first arrived. All for only 50 euro wow! The owner came one day and completely refreshed the balcony. Thorough cleaning, changed all the potted plants, put up new shade on the pergola and replaced all the curtains. He needs to update the pictures in the listing as it is now so much nicer (which was great looking to begin with). Being so close to the trains it made day trips so easy - we went to Florence, Pisa, Viareggio, Cinque Terre, Montecatini (go an take the funicular to the mountain top, have lunch and walk the hill town), and Pistoia (go on Wednesday for market day it's amazing). The property managers Manual and Chiara were so friendly and easy to deal with, they responded so quickly to any questions we had. The owner lives on the ground floor, and while he doesn't speak English we did "converse" a few times and with a little help from Google Translate we understood each other. I HIGHLY recommend Casa Gina.

This place is unreal!!!!

This place is unreal!!!! Disclaimer- it is not inside the walls of Lucca BUT it doesn’t matter. It’s a quick 5 min walk and there’s something magical about walking through the walls every single day. The apartment is impeccable. The decor is so cute and modern. It’s spacious and just so lovely. And Manuel met us to let us in, give us the tour and recommended one of the best dinners we’ve had on our trip. It’s also a 3 minute walk to the bus station (which you don’t hear at all). The location is convenient and it is everything you want it to be. Don’t miss the coffee/deli a couple minutes walk too! Go opposite the direction of the stairs a blocktwo down. Rent this place! You won’t regret it
