L'Antica Bifore is located on one of the main streets in Lucca. It is one floor up from the street. The building itself is about 500 years old (as I recall being told), but the B&B was developed about six years ago. This provides a wonderful combination of well designed and highly functional rooms which are still reflective of the... More

This is a wonderful place to stay in Lucca! There are four rooms in this very old building across from a church that now holds exhibits... and the B&B is in the center of town. The owners who run the bed & breakfast are extremely helpful with any questions... Food, Places to go, Things to do... etc. I would highly... More

For anyone planning a trip to Tuscany/Italy and you're debating on where to stay like my partner and I did, stop debating and stay at L'Antica Bifore in the heart of the charming and exciting town of Lucca. When I say in the heart of Lucca, I mean smack dab in the middle where you truly experience all that is... More

We had the most wonderful stay at L'antica Bifore. Brid was so gracious to wait for our late arrival, then make a perfect recommendation for dinner. We loved our room (tower) which was decorated with marvelous antiques, as was the rest of the B & B. Breakfast served by Stefano was a lot of fun--chatting with the other guests and... More

We stayed 1 night at L'Antica Bifore during our brief stop at Lucca at the end of March 2012. We were slightly late arriving but Stefano and Brid waited for us and were very understanding about it. The B&B is in a beautiful building in a convenient location in Lucca (roughly 10-15min walk with luggage from the train station and... More

Our stay with L'Antica Bifore was more lovely than we could have expected. The rooms are truly spectacular; renovated, furnished and designed beautifully to accentuate the historical charm of the building! We couldn't get over all of the detailed and skillfully painted murals and design work. Additionally, it is centrally located with two of the rooms having beautiful views of... More

The Antica Bifore was a comfortable, clean and wonderfully located guesthouse. Stefano and Brid were great hosts, they know Lucca well and we had several memorable meals on their recommendation. The whole atmosphere of the place was relaxed and welcoming, we felt like real residents of Lucca, rather than tourists as we opened our windows onto the bustling street below.... More

This B and B just doesn't measure up. For the price (90 Euros a night) there are much more beautiful choices in Lucca. The rooms are small though with a great view of the church and very special as it's a medieval property. A few observations: pillow cases had small holes in them, a smear of mascara or something black...... More

Dear Terry, Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. We would like to clarify a few points for the benefit if other readers. The cost of your room was €80 non refundable special deal rather than €90. Not that this really matters as all of our guests are treated with all of our attention and... More

Our stay at the Antica Bifore was fabulous. The room was very big and comfortable and was located right in the old tower, with the old arched windows (antica bifore). There was a shared dining space where a truly lovely breakfast of pastries, cereal, bread and jam, cofee, juice and hot chocolate was served daily by either Brid or Stefano.... More
