Beautiful accommodation with historic character and fantastic location. This was our second stay and we will come again. Everything perfect and Alessandro's communications were excellent and made check in and everything so easy.
Beautiful old historic well maintained property. Spectacular room, with amazing windows. Alessandro was a magnificent host, with very helpful suggestions and guidance.
It is a very unique place. Nicely decorated in the ancient/medieval style. Located in a busy area so you can be in the centre of Lucca and taste the atmosphere of the town. Very good contact with owners, you could feel very comfortable.
We had an absolutely fantastic time. Stunning location right in the middle of the historic district. Alice was warm, welcoming, and gave us plenty of recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. Spotless rooms with a stunning style and beautiful blend of historical with modern amenities. We can't wait to return. Grazie mille!
Couldn’t have been better. It was such an amazing building in a wonderful central location. The communal lounge was traditionally decorated and so relaxing. The room was large and relaxing with top quality furnishings, super large comfy bed. Bathroom was great with a nice strong shower. Our host was enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful. We took his advice and went to the Puccini theatre performance and museum. We hope to visit again. Lucca is fabulous and not to be missed.
We loved staying in an historic palace. It was a perfect blend of antique and modern amenities. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing location in the heart of Lucca. The room was beautiful and very characterful making it an unforgetable experience. Because of the central location and the old windows it can get noisy but this didn't bother us.
The host was very helpful and gave us some very helpful recommendations.
This historical property is beautifully kept by Alice and her associates, and Alice was the most gracious host. She made check in a lovely personal experience, making us coffees and giving a map of the city with all her suggestions for food and activities. Suggestions that we took full advantage of and had a wonderful time experiencing. I greatly recommend staying at this beautiful property, it was a delight!
I really love the charm of this place, my only negative comment is not actually about the place but the people outside at night as they can be loud while they stay in front of the hotel as they enjoy chatting. Hard to sleep at times.
We stayed at L’ Antica Bifore for two nights in room Beatrice and it was magical! The room was uniqe and very charming, the location was in the middle of Lucca and could not be better. The hosts Alessandro & Alice were so welcoming and helpful, giving us recommendations for what to see and where to eat in Lucca. This stay exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful city!
Place was lovely, staff member Alice was very helpful, good location. Breakfast for 6 euro nice. Small place with 4 rooms in very old but nicely updated house. Only downside was street noise that went on most of night making it hard to sleep. We were there on a Friday- maybe quieter during weekday. You cannot bring a car into that part of Lucca, so you should arrange garage which staff was helpful in doing
This place was absolutely beautiful, Alessandro and Alice were the best hosts a family could ask for. My wife and I rented the whole place for a week with my adult children and they were absolutely amazed and this place. It is right in the center of Beautiful Lucca, and only ten minute walk to anywhere in the city, and 13 minute walk to the train for day trips. We even got to meet their beautiful 6 month old child who is beautiful. We will be staying there again on our return trips to Italy, this was a first for my wife and myself and can honestly say as hosts other places have a lot to live up to if they want our business, from what places to eat, to special places to see.
On a personal Note: Thank You Alessandro and Alice you made our week one of the most amazing.
Joe DePasquale.
Fantastisk rom i historisk bygning midt i Lucca. Svært serviceinnstilt vertskap. Enkelt i finne og sjekke inn. God frokost! Vil definitivt bo samme sted neste gang!
Allessandro var hjelpsom, hyggelig og en veldig god vert. Rommet var fantastisk, rommet lå i hovedgaten innenfor muren.. litt støy men flott beliggenhet

Guesthouse storica ma rumorosa
Guesthouse molto storica con terrazza panoramica. Tuttavia stanza piccola, fredda e con molto rumore dalla strada, senza nemmeno un armadio o un poggia valigia. Self check in, senza personale, posizione ottima per visitare Lucca.
Location pazzesca , camera e sala curate nei minimi dettagli !!! Qualità prezzo senza rivali !! Consiglio vivamente x una coppia che vuole fare week end romantico !!
