Self Catering Apartment I Borghi - Lucca

10

The stay in Lucca was wonderful in every aspect! The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. Of course the price (140€/day) is a bit much for a family, but we found Lucca and the apartment worth every sent! This apartment would easily accommodate two couples/small families, because both bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The lack of air conditioning wasn't a problem at all, even though the outside temperature in the end of July was exceptionally high. A special thanks to Anna, the owner, who made us feel at home immediately. She also took us from/to the railway station.

Small, but lovely place in a beautiful central area of a gorgeous town! Anna and Benito were very sweet and welcoming. We had a great time at I Borghi!

The staff (Anna) was very friendly and was very flexibel. The room is nice and is located ideally in the Old Town of Lucca. Parking place was also available (5 Euro/day). I would recommend it very much!

A fabulous place to stay in a lovely town. Lucca, and I Borghi, were the highlights of my trip to Italy. Hostess Anna was most kind and gracious. I could not have been more pleased with the experience.

We stayed at the smaller apartment – ‘Zita’. It was comfortable in the bedroom for three of us – 1 double bed, 1 single. The bathroom and living/kitchen area are tiny, but proved fine for us. There was a slight problem storing baggage, and the sofa in the living area has seen better days – it is quite uncomfortable, with the wooden frame sticking into you. The owners met us at the station, and returned us there, eve though quite early on a Sunday morning. You couldn’t have asked for nicer, more accommodating people. We liked Lucca immensely, and especially hiring bikes to ride round the walls. The apartment was a few steps away, and very handy to all other points of interest in this compact but fascinating city. I would possibly stay in the larger apartment if there were 3 of us next time, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend I Borghi. The basics are all in place, the owners are wonderful, and the location is stupendous. The photos on the website don't distinguish very well between the larger and smaller apartment, and make the living area of Zita look a little larger than it is.

Terrific location and quite a good property but the finishing touches were missing. Linen, bed spread and towels were old, thin & tired which gave a rather shabby look to the room/property. A not too costly investment in this area would have given the whole place a lift. Owners were delightful and very welcoming.

We greatly appreciated being picked up at the train staion by Benito and Anna. The room was spacious and well-located. Our time in Lucca was fantastic. Many thanks to Anna and Benito for their warmth, restauant recommendations and being there if we needed them. We wish we could have stayed longer. Steven

A compact, clean, comfortable & utterly charming apartment, suitable for a couple only. Situated close to the main shopping street of Via Fillungo, with many good gastronomic emporia, restaurants and bars nearby. Being in such a 'buzzy' location meant it could a bit noisy at night, so bring your earplugs! Great to watch the world go by from. Very, very warm welcome from hosts Anna & Benito, who kindly collected us from the bus station on arrival and returned us there at the end. We both felt that we had two friends we could call on readily in the event of problems.

It would be helpful if the street number was listed on venere.com, as it would make it easier to find when catching a taxi.

The location is superb. The facilities provided are good, though we have some minor suggestions that would have made them excellent- We arrived by taxi- a number on the door would have made it easier to find. The partment is poorly lit; the brightest light was only 40W, make it difficult to read anything; some 60 or 100W lights are needed. A little more cutlery would help. The "very important" instructions re garbage disposal were not clear. A phone would be nice, and a washing machine more useful than a dishwasher. None of these comments would deter us from retrning some time. Thanks.

Anna was a warm and charming women who made us feel very welcome. the apartment was more than we had expected. The kitchen was very well stocked with food, and the rooms were comfortably furnished with all sorts of extras. Good showers with ample hot water. We were very pleased and would recommend the apartment highly.
