Hotels Near S. Maria Assunta in Lucca

We have just stayed here for 1 week and it was absolutely amazing! Such a rustic Italian villa with all the amenities you would need. If you want authentic, family feel, peaceful, relaxed atmosphere within a 10 minute drive into Lucca and central to visit all other Tuscan regions, then this is your place! The staff here are so helpful, kind, really do care and want you to be happy and get what you want and need. The restaurant is open for breakfast, for lunch for snacks and if you fancy that added extra something special the restaurant is open in the evening, almost fine dining style with some very good food. The pool is so close to the rooms and enjoyable to sit by and chill. The pool is not heated and would imagine in the summer the sun warms it up. We were there is May and although a bit cold when first walking in, after lying in the warm sun it served to cool you down. The grounds are beautiful and the setting of the villa is so picturesque. They have e-bikes and mopeds available to hire and always willing to advise re days out, train times and order taxis etc Lucca train station is only 10 mins away 20 euro one way. There is lots of parking if hiring a car. The hotel is a a 28 min drive from Pisa Airport but you could arrange a taxi (maybe pricey tho around 70- 90 euro), if having a car you can easily find way round local area with google maps or access the train station and you can take trips to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Siena and many more places to see. We were sad to leave the hotel Villa staff as all have been wonderful. We will definitely return and also recommend to stay here

Although it is a four-star, it is similar to a domestic fast hotel. A little distance from the city, 20 minutes walk. The surrounding area is under construction and the environment is poor. Arranged on the first floor, there is a garbage basket outside the window. The room is small, breakfast is OK, no vegetables.

The location is very good, the breakfast is plentiful and the entire hotel service is in place. . .

Hotel in an optimal location. About 15 minutes walk from the center with normal steps, and comfortable to access the motorway. Rooms with simple furnishings but still with all the comforts. Also equipped with private parking, which during our stay was included in the price of the room . It is clear that a recent renovation of both rooms and common parts (halls, breakfast rooms, bars, etc...) has made the hotel modern and elegant. The hotel staff, Vincenzo Botta, has always made available for any needs and has always been able to demonstrate the level of the situation. As well as the reception staff, always careful, educated and kind. As regards breakfast, it is a continental type of excellent quality and variety. I would certainly advise him who comes to Lucca for a few days of holiday or for work.

I must have started this review about 5 times because I don't really want to be negative, but then again I don't want to be positive either! We stayed here for one night, and it was enough - much like Pisa itself I feel - one day/night is enough! The location is well out of Pisa - taxi will cost in the region of €25, but if you like the idea of their thermal pools, saunas, etc it's worth it. Our room was a split level - bed above the en-suite with a decent sitting/chilling area downstairs. However I use the term ”chilling” ironically because the AC couldn't get near coping - despite having it working as hard as it could for the entire stay, it only managed to cool the room by less than one degree celsius. Opening the windows didn't help, but they opened into a corridor anyway, so privacy was a concern. Once you actually see a member of staff in the thermal baths/spa area (they seem to be rather sp**** and stay hidden - pretty sure I read that in someone else's review), they are lovely, but I genuinely felt awkward asking them to show us around - which is what the hotel receptionist had told us to ask! When we checked in, we were informed of a ”party” being hosted on the terrace that evening with food (not beverages) costing €90 each. We may have been tempted, but decided that given we were only there for one night, we'd eat in Pisa itself. On returning to the hotel we grabbed a couple of drinks at the bar and were invited (by who appeared to be the Food and Beverage manager) to enjoy our drinks on the terrace with the live music still playing - this was lovely and very thoughtful - certainly the highlight of our stay at the hotel. All in all, it's somewhat aged and needs a bit of TLC, possibly understaffed a little, and in a rural location. That said, the staff are very good and the location makes it wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. The thermal baths are beautiful and somewhat unique so it's very ”different” and for a night-or-two, you can't go wrong. I don't regret booking it, and if the AC had worked, so would probably have been a far more positive review.

I cannot say enough about this hotel. It was without a doubt the best hotel of all the hotels we stayed at on our trip…everything from the lobby, location, staff, room size, breakfast buffet, wifi, bed....it was terrific. The website photos are indicative of the hotel, rooms etc. (look at the gallery and you will see photos of the buffet, rooms, common area etc). First, its in a great location in the old town. Half a block and you are in one of the main plazas. 5 min and you are on the main shopping street of Via Fillungo. The hotel is actually on a bit on the edge of the old town…shortly after you come through the main gate ….so it was VERY easy to drive to ..and drive out of..without getting lost on all the small streets (note: we used google maps and it was telling us to turn just as we got to the hotel..but we saw the hotel just a bit down the street in front of us) On leaving I asked the front desk the easiest way to get out and he said, turn left, then another left..then right…and we were then headed out the main gate of the city. Could not have been easier. The hotel is on a small plaza so easy to park in front of it to unload your luggage..and they have valet parking...for a fee. Front desk staff was super helpful throughout out stay. Our room was very modern, with a great bed, plenty of desk and other space, plenty of plugs, and a large bathroom with a big shower. Wifi was fine. Breakfast was by far the best of all the ones on our trip. Plenty of hot food items, many different pastries, cheesecake and other assorted baked items to choose from, smoked salmon, cold meats and cheeses, plenty of different fruits..and on and on. They also have a nice outdoor patio area on the plaza which made for a wonderful start to our day. Overall, I cannot think of any other hotel I would consider to stay in Lucca. This one has it all.

Fantastic hotel, from the moment we arrived to our departure the service was impeccable. Upon arrival we were informed of the free happy hour(s) and snack time for my kids and the good news just kept on coming. Once we had checked in I turned round to retrieve my suitcases and they were already in my room. Alessandro, who worked on reception, was amazing, not only did he recommend where to eat he also telephoned the restaurant for reservations. I have to say that my favourite restaurant was Osteria Via Elisa. Alessandro was very approachable with a business and funny attitude, he is definitely a credit to the hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, the rooms are clean and spacious, there's a lovely terrace where we ate breakfast. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious, the buffet caters for all tastes and diets, the waiters were polite, asked me every morning if I wanted a coffee. Bonus...hot tub was just what I needed after walking around Lucca all day, we reserved our time and spent an hour soaking and relaxing....just missed a glass of Prosecco! Also the hotel offers free bike hire which was great because we rode the length of the wall, its a shame that they didn't offer free bikes for kids but that is the only fault I can find for this hotel and then its only 4euros to hire bikes for kids around the corner. This hotel and its staff are 5 star quality, a gem of a hotel close to everything, we really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and didn't want to leave. Thank you.
