What a fantastic b&b. The staff were so welcoming and friendly upon our arrival. The accomodation was immaculate and our room was very big with everything you could possibly need, including hair straighteners! The air conditioning was great, given the very warm weather It was in a perfect position just outside the city walls and ideal for walking into the beautiful town on Lucca. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

I found the hotel was very handy with the 24 hour desk especially as flight was delayed and missed the last train to Lucca and had to get a taxi. Staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and airy. Would highly recommend

Had a fabulous stay. The room was large and very clean. The staff were friendly especially the receptionist. We enjoyed the restaurant that had local choices and I can recommend finishing with the sweet wine and homemade biscotti! Lucca is a wonderful town and very easy to get to from the hotel. We spent the morning in town and the afternoon by the hotel pool. Perfect!

The property is reaslly nice with large spacious rooms. The hotel is located in a very peaceful remote location with stunning views. The pool was really nice, but could do with some heating and it would be nice if there was a small fitness centre on-site. There was a limited lunch menu based on being so remote. Dinner was great, but a very small restaurant. The couple managing the hotel were really friendly

We visited the San Luca Palace in September. The rooms are magnificent. Clean and spacious. The hotel is very close to the town centre (about a 5 minute walk to the Duomo).
Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good and the staff calm and attentive.
There is also a very good restaurant about 3 doors down from the hotel.
Can’t recommend highly enough!

We stayed in room 9. We loved the unusual decor,cleanliness, the friendly staff, the good size of shower (not being the thinest of people), the air conditioning that worked really well, breakfast and the drinks and bits to eat in the basement dining room availability 24 hours per day. It also has a car park which was a worry if it did not have one.
The only issue we had was the place has no lift which meant we had to leave our large suitcase in the car.

My son and I stayed at this hotel for 1 night out the 3 on our visit to Tuscany as we were flying out of Pisa the following morning. The hotel has a good mix of old and new furnishings and décor. Fabulous bathrooms though a wee bit small. Just the right amount of choice at breakfast in a pleasant conservatory. Also a very spacious terrace for sitting out or relaxing on a sun lounger with a drink from the bar service at reception. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would like to return in the...

We stayed here for one night and were very pleased with the room which was in the older building a few steps away. Lovely large comfortable room. All staff were helpful and friendly. Happy to arrange taxis or dinner for you. The coffee and snacks provided in the reception area were a welcome treat as was the complementary fizz served at 5 pm!. If I’m the area again would stay here!

Wonderful hotel in a quiet street in the heart of Lucca, near the amphiteatro. The rooms are beautifully decorated with frescos, comfortable and with all facilities. Breakfast is a highlight with choices to suit everyone. The staff are friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. One of the best hotels we have stayed in anywhere.

We arrived 2 hours early but our room was ready and were taken straight up. The room itself was gorgeous, really authentic and old looking but spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and the mini bar was stocked with treats at a very reasonable price.
The hotel is inside the walls and is right in the heart of the town. All the restaurants were only 5-10 mins walk away with some really nice Cafe/Bars around too. We took a train to Florence on 1 day and the train was only 14 Euro's and it...

The best area to stay in Matraia is within the village itself or in the immediate surrounding hills.
Matraia is a small, elevated village offering expansive views over the Lucca plain and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. The village is compact, with a central piazza, a historic church, and a few local eateries and shops. It's characterised by traditional stone buildings and narrow, winding streets.
For couples seeking a peaceful and romantic escape, staying directly in Matraia or in one of the villas just outside the village is ideal. You'll find yourself surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, with opportunities for scenic walks right from your doorstep. Many properties here offer private pools and terraces, superb for enjoying the sunsets. The local restaurants provide authentic Tuscan dining experiences.
Families travelling with children will also appreciate the tranquility and space offered by a villa in the Matraia hills. These properties often come with larger gardens, private swimming pools, and ample room for everyone to relax.
When is the best time to go to Matraia?
The best time to go to Matraia is during the spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the Tuscan landscape is at its most appealing.
Spring offers mild temperatures, making it great for exploring the local vineyards and olive groves on foot or by bicycle. The countryside is lush and green, with wildflowers blooming. This is a wonderful time for couples looking for scenic drives and al fresco dining experiences without the intense heat of summer.
Autumn brings comfortable, warm days and cooler evenings, ideal for enjoying the harvest season. This is when the grape harvest (vendemmia) and olive picking take place, offering a unique opportunity to experience local traditions.
