CASA DEI MERCANTI - A luxury apartment for rental in Tuscany
1 master bedroom , 1 double bedroom, sleeps 4
This elegant apartment is at the first floor (‘’Noble Floor’’) of an ancient ‘Palazzo Lucchese’ (Lucchese building). It is located in the medieval part of the walled town of Lucca. It takes name from the family Guinigi, who built it in the 1400s. The family Guinigi ruled Lucca in the far XV Century, and their memory still lives in Lucca also thanks to the very famous Tower-House, one of the most famous symbols of Lucca and Tuscany,that is located just in front of this house.
The entire ‘Palazzo’ is under strict control of the Monuments and Fine Arts Office, who consider the Palazzo one of the Italian monument to be preserved.
The flat is reachable via a huge hall, an elegant original staircase or by elevator. It is approx. 200 sqm large, but it looks much bigger because of its high original beamed ceiling (over 5 mt high).
The recent renovation has brought to the light the original color of the decoratin of the old beamed ceiling, a real masterpiece of this flat! The kitchen is equipped of the most modern facilities, ie. freezer, refrigerator, ovens, 4 stoves, dishwasher and microwave.
After the entrance hall there is a passageway from where there is access to the 2 bedrooms, and then to the huge salon, with fireplace and to the dining area and the kitchen. A bathroom with tub and shower is reachable fromthis salon. A stair goes down to a pretty studio.
The two double bedrooms, one master and one queen, are very lighty and airy. The view from the windows is really beautiful: the narrow typical street and the medieval Palazzos. This area is a very quiet and peaceful area, with very limited traffic.
All the flat has been furnished very tastefully with also some original antiques pieces.
