Luxury Tuscany apartment, Lucca historic centre, boutique hotel, terrace views

Bella Vista Lucca is a stunning luxury vacation rental in the heart of an ancient town in Tuscany. The birthplace of Puccini, Lucca is a charming medieval city encircled by magnificent 12th century Roman walls. This luxury Italy vacation rental is perfectly positioned within the walls in centro storico between the three most important Piazzas of Lucca and directly opposite the Cathedral.

Sitting atop a 16th century palazzo with spectacular 360° views across the city and surrounding mountains, this private apartment of 300m2, has an interior that beautifully blends historical features with chic iconic design and comfort. Impeccably serviced and flooded with light, the 4-6 bedroom layout with multiple indoor and outdoor living/dining zones make this the perfect spacious villa for several couples holidaying together or large families on a dream vacation who want all the comforts of home.

Explore this charming pedestrian-zoned city on foot with all the historical sites, cafés, restaurants, artisan shopping and famous walls only a 1min to 10min walk from the apartment.

Wake up and enjoy fresh coffee on either of the two terraces gazing over the Italian terracotta rooftops to sound of church bells. Spend days living like a Lucca local strolling through the medieval lanes, cycling on the wide tree-lined walls encircling the town, dining in authentic Tuscan restaurants, hiking the Roman aqueduct, and enjoying the abundant cultural festivals held year round in the town piazzas.

After a day of exploring, put your feet up and enjoy the spectacular sunsets and mountainous skyline from the top terrace with a refreshing Spritz in hand and relax to the sounds of Puccini from the concerts next door – an italian aperitivo of dreams!

Continue your luxury vacation with a relaxing Tuscan dinners on the lower terrace overlooking the beautiful cathedral before joining the locals on their nightly passeggiata with gelato. Sleep peacefully in this quiet residential zone feeling relaxed, and inspired by your daily experiences at Bella Vista Lucca living la dolce vita!

If you can bear to leave this gem of a town, Lucca is the perfect base from which to explore the larger cities of Italy and the many vineyards, olive groves and gorgeous little towns of Tuscany. Drive from your private garage or walk 10mins to the train station for easy day trips to discover the delights of Pisa, Florence, the Cinque Terre, Vinci, ski mountains, thermal springs and many more attractions.

Upon entering this loft-style penthouse apartment you will be immediately struck by the chic interior design, whitewashed Tuscan feature roof, abundant natural light, spaciousness and Italian antiques and art that complete this penthouse apartment.

Comfortable casual sofas perfect for relaxing, socialising or entertaining accommodate large groups in the stylish entry living zone. Daydream gazing over ancient rooftops, lay about perusing Italian history books provided for guests and savour the tranquillity of living in a penthouse. Or if more action is your style, enjoy movies on the large screen TV, play lively card games or turn up the music for your evening prosecco.

Dining choices are endless at BVL. Whip up your favourite culinary experiences, take a group cooking course or invite our in-villa chef to indulge you.

Positioned between the living room and downstairs terrace, the large Tuscan kitchen meets modern day gourmet cooking requirements. The original open fireplace, cotto floors and copper pots will be a feast for the eyes while you prepare one with the Miele appliances, wine fridge and a superb AGA oven at your disposal. This kitchen dining area for 8 guests may just become your favourite gathering place!

The huge sun-soaked terrace directly off the kitchen provides another magnificent dining setting amidst flowering plants and kitchen herbs. Enjoy long leisurely lunches under the shade of the bamboo canopy and warm summer nights overlooking the golden duomo facade.

For a slightly more formal occasion or on cooler nights, enjoy an Italian feast for up to 14 guests on the long chestnut table in the living room complete with Italian linens and crystal glassware.

Downstairs the three large bedrooms all exude charm with Tuscan beams, natural colour palettes and views from every window. From a small hallway off the living room you will discover the Lucca queen bedroom with a large private ensuite bathroom. The Pinocchio room next door has two single beds and shares a large separate bathroom and full bath with the Puccini queen bedroom. A separate walk-in robe room provides additional clothing storage for the heaviest of travellers.

Upstairs is divided into two areas. The large Parent Retreat area with cathedral views is the perfect place to hide away for a nap on the large floor cushions or to catch up on your reading. On the other side of this room behind a curtain the Loft queen bedroom with large ensuite bathroom becomes a private haven. The BVL bedroom layout is perfect for several couples holidaying together or large families wanting privacy for children and adults.

A short staircase from the upper level takes you to the Loft terrace. The envy of Lucca, this rooftop entertaining zone has breathtaking 360° views across terracotta tiles, church spires and the surrounding Italian mountains. A spectacular backdrop to your morning coffee and yoga or sunset aperitivo with friends, this view will be etched in your memory forever.

Beautiful apartment exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well appointed with good knives and pans. The rooftop deck was our favorite place to dine with wonderful flowers all around. All of the appliances worked well and were easy to use….including the wonderful Aga range!

Perfect in every way
We traveled to Lucca with our adult children and their partners so there were 6 of us. It was great to have so much room for everyone and especially a seperate bathroom for each couple. The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor spaces are perfect! We will definitely be back!

Exceeded all expectations
I can’t say enough about this villa, absolutely gorgeous, huge, spotless, great location, included everything we could possibly need. The large main terrace was a dream that we spent many hours enjoying. Caterina and Manuela were wonderful to work with and helped with many planning aspects in advance and during our stay. We stay in VRBA’s all over and this was the very best in all aspects! We would absolutely return. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Lucca love
Decided to stay one week in Lucca with 7 total people, 5 different ‘households’. The bedroom configuration was perfect for us. The two terraces were so nice to sit on and enjoy the outside. The apt was so clean and well appointed. Cate, Manuela and Chloe took great care of us. They left a bottle of red, a bottle of white, 2 different pasta sauces plus pasta along with some fruit for starters. So perfect to have pasta with sauce on the terrace within 20 minutes if arriving! Location is perfect. Not too far of a walk to the train, wall, cafe. The cafe to the left right outside our door was the best. Laundry machine on-site a great convenience. The high-end refrigerator had frozen ice packs which were so nice to have when we arrived bc it was so hot and they hit the spot when placed on the back of the neck. The ice machine worked great too. We’ve stayed in many rental apartments and this was hands-down the best! Thank you Cate, Manuela & Chloe!!
