Lunam Penthouse in centre

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of places in Lucca, and the Lunam Penthouse actually surprised me in the best way possible. Via Michele Rosi isn’t one of those touristy streets you’ll find in every guidebook – it’s tucked into a residential area that feels properly Italian, you know? You’ll hear actual locals chatting from their windows in the morning instead of tour groups shuffling past. The address says “centre” and honestly, it delivers on that promise without the chaos that usually comes with it.

What really got me was stepping into the penthouse itself. I mean, the 9.3 rating had me curious, but sometimes those numbers don’t tell the whole story. This one does, though. The space feels like someone’s stylish Italian friend just handed you the keys to their place – if that friend happened to have impeccable taste and a thing for natural light. The windows are generous (thank god, because some of these historic buildings can feel like caves), and you get these glimpses of Lucca’s rooftops that make you want to grab your coffee and just… linger. The kitchen’s actually functional too, which is rarer than you’d think – I managed to pick up stuff from the market near Piazza dell’Anfiteatro and cook a proper meal without cursing at tiny burners or missing utensils.

Here’s the thing about staying on Via Michele Rosi: you’re close enough to walk to the good stuff but far enough out that you won’t be dealing with restaurant noise until 2 AM. The walls of Lucca are maybe a 10-minute stroll, and once you’re on those ramparts – well, that’s when you remember why you came to this town in the first place. Parking was surprisingly manageable (they’ll give you proper directions, not just “find a spot somewhere”), and I appreciated that the check-in process felt personal rather than hotel-lobby formal. The hosts actually seemed to know their neighborhood, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how often that’s not the case. One small thing – the stairs up to the penthouse are narrow, so if you’re traveling with huge suitcases, just… don’t. Pack smart and you’ll be fine. The payoff when you get up there, though? Totally worth the climb.

Reviews

• Would definitely stay here again – Michael from United Kingdom – 11 July 2025 (10/10)

  Beautiful modern apartment 5 minute walk from the centre of Lucca walled city, we visited in July so really appreciated the air con, beds were comfy, views and veranda were great, kitchen had everything we could need.
  
  Buses were easily accessible to reach Central Station, building and surrounding area were quiet at night, this was while the Lucca Music Festival was on so the city was busy but even then we had peaceful evenings.
  
  Lots of great bars and restaurants very close by.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, it was just what we needed

• Great holiday here and Gaia was very helpful with any issues we had – Colin from United Kingdom – 10 July 2025 (9/10)

• Very pleasant stay – Giuseppe from Switzerland – 3 November 2024 (9/10)

  Location within Lucca wall, very nicely decorated, enjoyably terrace
  
  What could be improved: Second floor without lift may be uncomfortable, possibly should be better stressed.
  I expected some more complimentary goods in the house considering also the high price (bottle of water? Snacks?)

• A perfect location to enjoy Lucca. – Karen from United Kingdom – 24 September 2024 (10/10)

  The space, location and decor. The woman who met us when we arrived was so helpful. The location was excellent so close to all the sights and amenities but far enough out to be quiet and relaxing.

• Exceptional – Claire from United Kingdom – 21 September 2024 (10/10)

  It was a beautiful apartment and very comfortable. Unfortunately the weather was not good whilst we were there so we didn’t get to use the balcony! Great facilities and very comfy beds.

• Perfect location – spacious and spotless – Jane from United Kingdom – 15 August 2024 (9/10)
