This 4-star gem isn't just a hotel; it's a chronicle of Lucca's illustrious past. With origins tracing back to the 1200s, imagine sleeping amidst structures that once housed the stables of Villa Bottini! The tales get richer as you discover that Elisa Baciocchi, Napoleon Bonaparte's sister and the esteemed Princess of Lucca and Piombino, once graced these walls.

For those seeking an even more enchanting experience, some of the hotel's most coveted rooms lie within the 13th-century Lucca walls, a mere stone's throw from the central tower. Adjoining the grand 14th-century Alba Residence, these rooms are where fables come to life.

While the hotel's historical essence is palpable, its commitment to contemporary luxury is equally commendable. Each room in the central hotel or the converted tower and church sections speaks of classic elegance and top-notch amenities.

After delving deep into Lucca's bylanes on foot or the hotel's complimentary bicycles, retreat to a serene terrace adorned with blooming camellias, hibiscus, and jasmine. The calming notes of nature combined with a rejuvenating soak in the hot tub is the relaxation you didn't know you needed.

Kickstart your day the Tuscan way! The complimentary buffet breakfast is a symphony of local flavours - from the piquancy of Tuscan cold meats to the soft freshness of locally baked bread. As daylight shifts to evening, the hotel's snack bar transforms into an oasis of indulgence, offering an array of both sweet and savoury delights alongside refreshing beverages from noon to 7 p.m.

Should you crave the vibrant culinary scene Lucca boasts of, the hotel's adept team is always ready with restaurant recommendations tailored to tantalise your taste buds.
