Lovely Lucca

Lucca exceeded our expectations and we had a fantastic stay at the Casa Janca. The booklet supplied by the host advising of so many details was extremely helpful. Check in and out were simple. The apartment is in a great spot for getting to anywhere.

Great apartment in perfect location

Highly recommend this apartment for anyone wishing to stay in Lucca. Great location in the historic center. Comfortable bed, nice layout, good kitchen and bathrooms. It was really nice to have a home away from home during our week in Lucca. Wish it could have been longer. Janet and Jim

Spacious one bedroom apartment in good location

The one bedroom apartment is accessed directly from the street using its own entrance. A bright and airy lounge welcomes you with the bedroom and well equipped kitchen directly off. The location is very good being a short ten minute walk to the main tourist areas whilst having good local restaurants and bars in a pleasant square two minutes away.

A perfect stay

The accommodation more than lived up to the photos shown on line. Extremely comfortable especially the bed which in holiday rentals is often a letdown. Plenty of kitchen equipment to prepare meals if you are prepared to stay away from the restaurants. Its position is ideal on a quiet road with the very attractive stream just a few yards away. Even for us as a couple getting on in years and with arthritic problems we were able to explore with ease. Lucca is a magical city and Casa Janca was the icing on the cake. Thank you Wash basin plug does not work, especially needed when shaving. Plastic plants do attract dust and the many knickknacks must be a nightmare for the cleaners.

Casa Janco

Overall, the apartment was very good. The only concerns that we had are when we checked in the coffee maker was not cleaned. The grinds had to be emptied. The apartment is in a good location. Suggest taking a taxi to/from the train station with luggage. Areas can be rocky and may damage luggage. The water fountain was was outside of the apartment which was great to refill large water bottles. The quality of Lucca water is excellent and safe. The bed was comfortable. WiFi is good. I would stay again. It is hard to maintain the heat so there should be better quality throw blankets , one for each person. We left some supplies there but there is a super market about a 7 minute walk away.

6 weeks in Lucca

we felt very comfortable and considered the apartment our second home we found the location excellent overall we were very happy insect screens on the windows would improve overall amenity. we suffered significant & painful insect bites during our stay, and we could not open the windows for fresh air without letting insects in. providing a picnic or ground blanket would be a great asset - we had several picnics on the wall, and it would have been nice to sit on the grass with a picnic blanket

Una Casa lontano da casa

Questo soggiorno mi ha fatto sentire veramente a casa, avevo tutto ciò di cui avevo bisogno e anche di più. Posizione comodissima e zona ben servita. Le istruzioni al check in sono state chiare e le comunicazioni amichevoli. Ho intenzione di ripetere l'esperienza, magari in una struttura più piccola ma gestita dallo stesso host.

Excellent accommodation in central Lucca

Beautiful, spotless and very spacious accommodation, with 2 shower/toilets. Excellent central location but in a quieter area of Lucca. Manuel was very helpful on 2 particular occasions and we were grateful for his speedy assistance. We would highly recommend this apartment and this company for a stay in Lucca. Nothing I can think of, all excellent.

A really nice stay!

We had a really nice stay for 10 nights as a friend group in Casa Janca. There is alot to visit in Lucca and the surrounding region. If you come by car park at parcheggio mazzini, only 400m from the apartment. The check in went really smoothly with instructions and tips for restaurants and other activities. 100% recommend to book a stay in one of the Apartments of Lucca Apartments and Villas. Everything is like described and as shown on the pictures.

We loved it!

This was our return trip to Lucca after several years and we remembered this street. My husband actually bought a bag at the leather store on the corner in 2012 and was able to go back and meet the same artisan who originally helped him (and laugh at how much older they both were in the picture!). The apartment is exactly as described. The bed is comfy. While the windows are high, they allow in a ton of light. Two bathrooms were a nice touch. Well stocked kitchen and a perfect place to work remotely (and run out for a gelato between meetings!). Cost saving hint with a car - We parked at the local lot on the first and last night to have luggage access and just walked from the free lot outside of the walls (10-15 min) the rest of the time.

Lovely stay in Casa Janca

We had a lovely week stay in the apartment "Casa Janca". Well located, plenty of space for two, very clean, all the facilities one could require. We particularly appreciated having a washing machine, as we were on a month long trip. Communication was very clear and timely, and Manuel who checked us in was very friendly and efficient. A very positive experience all round.

It’s a great apartment!

It’s a great apartment! The listing is accurate. The location is reasonably close to everything within the city walls. Also, the Mazzini parking garage is conveniently close by for those arriving by car. If (when) we return to Lucca, we would love to stay here again!

One of the best apartments I have seen in Lucca

One of the best apartments I have seen in Lucca and I have stayed in a few. Location is great and it has its own private entrance from the street which is so convenient. Everything looked exactly like the pictures and the host was flexible and accommodating.

We HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb !

We loved this apartment. Ground floor is easy, no lugging suitcases up lots of stairs. Fitted with all the necessities and tastefully decorated. Updated bathrooms with rain shower heads. Easy walk to the famous walking wall and local shops across the street for the basics like bread, milk , coffee and pastries. The luxury of having two full bathrooms was wonderful!! If you have luggage and arrive by train take a taxi to the apartment it’s an easy walk as long as you have no luggage. The people of Lucca are lovely. Easy check in and great communication, totally hassle free.

We'll definitely come back

We stayed in the apartment for three weeks and really enjoyed it. The apartment itself is nicely decorated and even though it was only two of us, we liked having the second bathroom. And we especially appreciated the location, it is not in the center of the tourist area, but felt more like a real neighborhood. Piazza San Francesco is right around the corner and has a couple of nice restaurants, bars, and bike rental. And it seemed like there was always something going on there with live music at the restaurants, a band on the piazza, occasional food market, etc. We would definitely come back here again.
