Bed and Breakfast Sogni D'oro - Lucca

The cleaning was not ok. shower in bathroom did not work. The kitchen needed cleaning.

Wonderful value , you can stay near the expensive city center for a cheap price , specially by using the kitchen equipment with the accomodation of the neighbour supermarket

A very basic accommodation, ideal for short stay only. Just outside the city walls, only a short walk to the centre. No air-condition in the room, the shared kitchen is poorly equipped and dirty. Room and bathroom quite clean.

Very nice holidays!! Thanks!!

Never more. Without air conditions, under windows parking, noise.

I spent only one night here. It's not bad but I wouldn't recommend it. Although you can see a double bed in the picture, we were given a twin room. The bathroom was tiny and a little old; but the worst is that the breakfast is not included!!! (in spite of being a bed&BREAKFAST!). You have the possibility of using the kitchen, but that should be appart from the breakfast. The situation is quite good though!

Good location to reach city center on foot (around 1km). Parking just outside on a super-market parking area (free). Very quiet neighborhood (although this could be cause we stayed there at the end of July). Good value for money, esp. if you are traveling by car. No breakfast provided, but we didn't care much for that.

I had understood that this was a bed & Breakfast, but it turned out to be just bed, and self catering. It would have been better to know that in advance. There was a supermarket just a short walk away, and they had a kitchen available for self catering. The two brothers running the place were both friendly and welcoming, and fairly laid back. The accomodation was basic, but clean and adequate. They threw in clean towels and parking was free.

La chambre etait trop chaude à notre arrivé, les fenetres auraient du etre ouverte car s'etait impossible de dormir, heureusement qu'il y avait un ventilateur. Point positif : cuisine pourmanger ou preparer le petit dej, et bon emplacement prés des remparts de Lucca.

El dueño, un impresentable

The hotel is small and quite clean, about 15 min walk from the centre of Lucca. The advantage is having the kitchen where you can cook, and a big super market just next to the hotel. We stayed in a double room with private bathroom, which was teeny-tiny, but, well, we only spent there one night.

The "welcome" was a sign on the front door telling us to contact a mobile phone number and the owner would come to the property. This was a problem without a mobile phone ourselves. There was NO breakfast even though the accommodation was advertised as "Bed and Breakfast". There was a kitchen where one could make one's own breakfast. There were quite a few stairs to climb to the rooms.

The reason for choosing this B&B was the price, since we spent in Lucca only one night. I would not recommend "Sogni D'oro" for a longer stay: poor cleanliness of the shared bathroom may bother you. However, it is fine for a one-night stay: great location, low price (we payed 50 Eur), spacious room.

All is good very useful the kitchen availability . Only a strange smell in the room. Pheraps products used to cleaning the room.

Well, there were meant to be bikes for rent and also a swimming pool - none of it was actually there. also there was a terrible smell coming from the bathroom and the kitchen was not nice either. plus side: you get free transfer at date of leave to bus station.

Chambre calme près de la ville ( 10 minutes à pied)...pas de petit déjeuner , cuisine succinte à disposition, salle de bains à partager...parking de la supérette à côté.

Maison bien située près des remparts. Accueil sympa et un peu de français.Chambres SB simples mais correctes et propres, cuisine à disposition pour petit déjeuner. Supermarché à proximité.

Jamás volvería a alojarme en un sitio como este. Daba asco meterse en la cama. El cuarto de baño es compartido y está realmente sucio. No sabes si es por la educación de los inquilinos o por la falta de higiene de los propietarios. Se supone que tenía desayuno y nos enseñaron una cocina vacía. El sitio no es nada recomedable y a pesar de lo atractivo del precio y de su localización, recomiendo que paguen un poco más por algo mejor.

Non è un B&B, no colazione. Solo uso cucina.

This was my first time at Sogni D'Oro; I don't recommend it at all, prices are similar to other b&b but accomodation is poor in quality: noisy house, not clean, too promiscuity, no breakfast, no telephone. There is a dirty kitchen available to guests.

The apartments are not inside the city walls, but are within easy walking distance. There is a supermarket next door which is very convenient seeing as the apartments have a (basic) kitchen where you can cook your own food. The owner was extremely helpful in providing us with various information (eg the best train connections to the next places we were visiting) and even dropped us off at the train station at the end of our stay.

The place is in a convenient location for exploring Lucca,Its on a quiet street good hard bed , staff explainations were helpful.

Sogni D'oro is not a bed and breakfast, but ONLY BED!!!

Good place for the budget traveler who doesnt mind the shared bathroom. GREAT staff. very helpful. next to grocery store. close to attractions and train station. clean large room and bathroom. kitchen was good. take the audio tour of lucca starting at the tour/info office. lucca is a hidden gem.

The place is in a convenient location for exploring Lucca. Overall it is a cheap no-frills place to stay. There is no breakfast provided (but a supermarket is next door). It's worth doing the audio-tour of Lucca, available from the tourist office.

Thanks to David for all the helps he give

Nice play to stay, very nice people working there... speaking french !

We were very pleased with our accommodations at Sogni D'oro. Our host was helpful in many ways. The restaurants he suggested were excellent and his explainations were helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and attractive. The kitchen facilities more than adequate. People we met at the residence were respectful and interesting to talk to. We would return to Sogni D'oro in a heartbeat, whenever we are able to return to Lucca.

It's OK for 1 night, not expensive

We really enjoyed our stay. Very recomendable. Thanks to the manager Fabio. Very clean and comfortable. We will surely return when we are in Lucca again.

Very nice staff, speak English very well

We were very pleasantly surprised with the Sogni D'Oro. The room was larger than expected and had a large balcony with a pleasant view of the mountains. There was no sign of the bad smell mentioned in other reviews and everything was spotlessly clean throughout our 5 day stay. Value for money was excellent and the location was ideal for both the train station and the centre of Lucca, which was delightful. The owners were very helpful and courteous. Would definitely reccomend both Lucca and the Sogni D'Oro for restful break.

Facilité de stationnement. Proximité des centres intéressants de la ville. Accueil et encadrement chaleureux, excellent service. Accès à la cuisine et aux approvisionnements faciles.

Fabio and his brother were very helpful and friendly and pointed out to us the best places to eat, hire bikes etc. The slight sewage smell mentioned in previous reviews was detectable but the toilet and kitchen facilities themselves were very clean.

A perfect place to stay while visiting Lucca and Tuscany. Its on a quiet street and an easy walk to Lucca's wall. The nearby grocery store and other shops made it easy to get what ever we needed. David and Fabio were great hosts and helped us in some way every day. The shared kitchen was very convenient and a great way to meet many of the other interesting guests. Overall, Sogni D'oro was a good value and a wonderful experience.

Toilets had a bad smell. Advertised as a B&B but was bed only.

This was a sweet place, run by a very nice family. It isn't fancy (but is clean and tastefully decorated) and breakfast is not provided but there is a grocery store nearby and guests are welcome to use the kitchen to cook and eat. David drove us to the train station the next morning which was very nice since the walkway to the station is gravelled and pulling our wheeled suitcases from the station to the house was a little difficult. David and his family do not live on the premises, however his cell phone number is given to the guests in case there is need.

I would definately recommend Sogni d'oro to anyone visiting Lucca. The owners were very friendly and spoke excellent English and the room was spacious and clean. The only slight problem was the en suite smelt of sewage for most of our stay, although it was very clean.

THe property was basic but clean. However, the owners were very friendly and it was a good place to pre book before hand. Lucca was wonderful, well worth a visit.

Was disappointed to have booked accomadation as B&B to discover that it was room only and had shared kitchen. I think web page should be adjusted accordingly. Other than that, owner was very nice and helpful throughout our stay.

We had a fantastic stay in Lucca- accented strongly by our accomodations. Fabio was very accessible and helpful. The room was perfect and everything was clean and comfortable.

Sogni D'oro calls itself a Bed & Breakfast yet there is no breakfast. The biggest problem however was the plumbing. There was a sewer stench from all fixtures in the bathroom, that no air fresheners could eliminate. The room was very sparsely furnished, no tv or radio. Way overpriced for this type of room.

We were satisfied. The room and the house OK. Close to the center. Fabio was very friendly. We will stay at Sogni D'Oro next time in Lucca. Wanted: Comfortable chairs in the room. OBS: Location on the map is not correct.

Cheap and cheerful. Just what we required.

Das Hotel ist sehr schön, im Wesentlichen entspricht die Beschreibung dem Angebot. Der Frühstücksraum ist schön gelegen. Allerdings muss man sich darauf einstellen, dass niemand im Hotel Englisch (von Deutsch ganz zu schweigen) kann. Die Inhaberin ist aber sehr bemüht und sehr freundlich. Im Einzelnen: Die Anfahrtbeschreibung ist nicht ausreichend. Man muss sich z.B. das Toilettenpapier erst auf Nachfrage besorgen. Dies weist darauf hin, dass das Hotel nicht wirklich auf die Reservierungen eingestellt ist. Das Badezimmer enthielt bei der Anreise noch die Haare der Vorgänger, erst am nächsten Tag wurde es gereinigt. Ingesamt war der Aufenthalt aber o.k., das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist zufriedenstellend (wenn man mal davon absieht, dass wir einige Tage später in S. Miniato ein Hotel gleicher Kategorie und gleichem Preis, aber um Längen gesser hatten). Das Hotel liegt aber nicht in Montepulciano auf dem Berg, sondern unten (Achtung, auch wirklich die Straße 146 erwischen!!!). Als Ausgangspunkt für Touren ist es gut geeignet, man sollte die Zimmer nach hinten heraus wählen, da sie deutlich ruhiger sind. Die Abreise klappte ohne Probleme, Kreditkarten werden akzeptiert. Bei elektrischen Geräten Achtung, sowohl die Netzfrequenz (>50Hz) und die Spannung (>230V) stimmen nicht immer.

We enjoyed our stay there. The hosts were very friendly - well english spoken - and gave us good suggestions for our stay (what to do and where to eat). There's a supermarket around the corner. Unfortunately you can't rent bikes at the hostel any more, but it is possible at the tourist information in the town which is closed by.

We stayed only one night so it is difficult to say too much. The people attending us were very prompt and nice and the place was clean and correct.

More than happy with this accommodation for the price. Satisfied and would go back again.

We had a nice stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable and close to the nice city of Lucca. Definitely recommendable!

The owner of this property, David, was extemely helpful and courteous. I would recommend to anyone traveling on a budget.

I am very satisfied with my stay in Italy. What I am not that satisfied with, was the noise saturday morning (I think other guests)from around 7 a.m. to around 10... We also didn`t know how to pay, nobody told us and nobody was there when we were leaving, so we had to put money and keys in the postbox... Thank you...
