Odor
As soon as I walked in the smell hit me and I did mention this to the owner who was there. It was a strong musty smell. I stayed for an hour. Opened the living room and kitchen windows to see if that would help. Walked upstairs and the smell was there as well. I was getting a bad headache . We could not stay here for a 2 weeks so left and booked a hotel until we found other accommodations.

Italy adventure
The accommodations were everything we expected. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms for three couples made this location ideal. It’s a bit of a walk to the walled city (20 minutes), but a bus goes to the walled tourist area from 1 block away and you can call a cab if you don’t feel like walking. Grocery store, phone store for SIM Card, and fruit store are all nearby. It was absolutely perfect for us. Guilia was accommodating and met us when we arrived. Stairs to second and third level were not an issue for us at all.

Lucca Stay
Patrizia was wonderful...very quick to respond and very helpful. The house was well-equipped. While it was not within Lucca walls, it was a very easy walk into town. The house had screens on the windows which was a big plus in Italy. We were there for 4 weeks so I made good use of the washer and dryer although I usually hung the clothes to dry. I liked the extra room for drying and ironing. At times, the WiFi was a bit unreliable but mostly worked well.

Worst VRBO ever
My family and I spent 6 weeks touring Europe and used VRBO properties everywhere. This was the worst one we have ever rented. The stairs are quite dangerous. They are steep and dark, the worst part is the light turns off automatically while going up them, when I questioned that, she said you can turn the light back on. Well my parents are in their 80s and one misstep on a dark stair could be a disaster. The pictures do not accurately depict the home. Even the one above is so misleading. It is not bright and airy. It is dark and dingy and smelled moldy. There are bars on the windows. It is a a horrible neighborhood, lots of dust and trash in the alley next door. There is no outdoor area at all. It is not close to nice restaurants. The air conditioners are anemic at best and we were told to turn them off if we weren't in the room. How do they expect it to stay even the littlest cool. We left without packing our bags. We took one of the keys with us in case we couldn't find anywhere else to stay. We did find a new place and I asked for a refund as the place was not at all as advertised and with the mold smell and stairs it was not a safe environment. She was very rude and said no way. In full disclosure I didn't get around to returning the key and of course did not fight her keeping the key deposit . Also be warned you will need to sign your life away on waivers, she had waivers I had never seen before in all my years of using VRBO.

This is a great location to explore Lucca and the rest of Tuscany. The house is clean, beds are comfortable and there is plenty of space. The location is quiet and within walking distance to several cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed riding the bikes into Lucca and along the wall. Another bonus is the parking right in front of the property. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely and clean and very well stocked. We were able to walk to the walled city of Lucca in 15 minutes and also to the car rental to pick up our car for the second half of our trip to Sienna. The supermarket was also very close . We also used the house bikes to ride the wall in Lucca. Really enjoyed staying here.

Lucca holiday.
Patrizia is a great host and very helpful. Kept in touch with us to make sure we had what we needed. The home is very spacious, well kept and remodeled. Large rooms and 3 baths. Excellent location, our family does not mind to walk and found the 15 to 20 minutes walk to the historic centre of Lucca an easy walk. Location is good, close to highway and good access to visit surrounding cities like Pisa, and Florence. Overall a very good 5 night stay.

Lucca experience was wonderful
We used this location as the hub for meeting up with two other couples (and one car) to explore the areas of Lucca, Cinque Terre, Pisa and Florence using mostly the trains. Can’t say enough about the cost and ease of traveling by train compared to car rental but it was nice to have one for the distance from the house to the walled city. A bit of traffic noise and busy commute route most days. Also It was a much further walk than we had hoped but there are some bikes there and a bus for €2.50 one way when your legs get tired. Not a great area for eating out (on foot) but great selection of grocery stores very close by. We prepared a lot of simple meals and found the kitchen well supplied for that. Especially loved the Lavazza espresso machine and full-sized coffee drip machine in the mornings with six adults! Comfortable beds, clean washrooms, plenty of towels and blankets and very good communication with owners and management. I would suggest a tune up of the bikes as one had no brakes left and another no steering. But a good house, attractive and well situated for a Tuscany tour home base.

Wonderful stay in Lucca
My family of 5 enjoyed our 6-night stay at this beautiful home in Lucca. Each of the kids was able to have their own bedroom, which was a nice change from the hotels where we stayed during the rest of our vacation. The grocery store was very convenient and the kitchen was well-stocked, even though we ended up not cooking as much as we'd thought. Having both a washer AND dryer was great so that we could do some much needed laundry. We really appreciated the use of the bikes to ride into Lucca and around the walls. Parking was great for the first 4 nights but then someone came along and parked in front of the house the last two nights. We were able to find parking in the free parking lot just a short walk away so it wasn't a problem. We took the train in to Florence two days, drove to Pisa one morning, drove to Volterra another day and La Spezia/Cinque Terre another day. The location is very convenient to the train station and the Autostrade so it made a really nice home base. We loved Lucca and would love to return!

Nicely restored/renovated, all the amenities we needed
Patrizia was a wonderful host. She and her assistant, Mr. Iacopo, met us at the house upon arrival and gave us a very thorough walkthrough of the entire house and gave us directions to all of the parking at the wall as well as a “map” of the restaurants and groceries within walking distance. There were also four very nice bicycles to use - a great way to get around the city. An enjoyable week at the house. We liked being just far enough from the center city walls to be away from all the tourists, but close enough to walk (less than a mile) or drive in 5 minutes and park at the wall.The bathrooms were wonderfully done, as was the kitchen. The only thing I would recommend adding to the house is more lighting for reading ( larger lamps in the bedrooms and another floor lamp in the living room) and putting a larger skylight in the one dark bedroom. We would absolutely return to Lucca and this house in the future.

Convenient location to town and shopping. Bedrooms are on 3 floors.Steep stairwell.
Not recommended for patrons with limited mobility. Bedroom nicely appointed comfortable beds and good A/C Kitchen well equipped. Problem is the presence of mildew and mold on the first floor, coming from the laundry room. Odor and Stench would not go away in spite of cooking and baking often. But smell is not present on the upper floors. Host was punctual to receive us and helpful with ample information about the location.
