Folks, this is quite neat. Not only the location, but the hotel as well. Lucca is one of these towns with all the city walls still intact. So, first, you need to break the law. This means, you will drive right into the pedestrian zone (no kidding), the authorities will take a photo of your car and then you better hurry to the hotel to get your fine cancelled. I kid you not. The municipality will take photos of any car entering the city center and if you do nothing about it you will get a fine. But we got it cancelled, of course. So, first you drive right trough all the tourists into the no car zone, having them glare at you and calling you names in a city with streets so narrow you wanna cry. Once you arrive at the hotel (do not miss it or else...), you will be guided up a stuffy, smelly stairway (oh my god, where am I...) into a room and - tattaaa - all of a sudden you find space, frescoes on the ceiling, a medieval feeling to the whole place.

We were extremely surprised by the room, but this was rather cool. A hotel employee then told me that this building is an old Locanda (an inn in olden times...).

The room itself was very quiet, roomy, complete with a large bathroom and television. The breakfast in the morning is standard. At best.

What happened to the car? No worries, once you are registered you can get in an out of town with no fear for a fine. And they have private parking ... at an extra cost.

In short, if you are looking for a place to stay in the middle of town (and mind you, you will have to find your way in and out again...), then this is the place. We will stay there again, if ever we go back.

First prblem - the room reeked of igarette smoke despite being non smoking. Secondly front desk staff were not interested in fixing the problem - in fact their attitude was casual in the extreme. This is not a particularly cheap hotel but there is mould in the bathroom a dark and dpressing stairwell a pretty dark and depressing room and the TV would not work for us.

Breakfast however was good and the people serving breakfast were friendly and helpful.

All in all our most disappointing hotel in 8 weeks and 20 stops over Europe.

We stayed for a long weekend in mid-October. A perfect break with lucky brilliant weather. This was our sixth or seventh visit to La Luna. It's a family owned and run small hotel with arguably THE best location in this sensational jewell of a medaevil city. As it was my 65th birthday, I booked the best room in the place. Well worth it, with a sensational ceiling fresco and soooo spacious. We'll be back!

A nice hotel located within the walls of the old city of Lucca. Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and we actually had a bath tub. Wi-Fi was available for a 3 Euro charge. He staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. My wife and I felt very safe wandering around the area the hotel was in after dark.
