Description
In Puccini's Lucca, the Prince Calaf Bed & Breakfast and Guest House is located about a 10-minute walk from the ancient city walls. The B&B is easily accessible due to its proximity to the S.S. del Brennero and is situated in a building from the 1930s with a private courtyard where parking is possible.
The house, formerly a residence, has recently been adapted and features various types of rooms divided between the ground floor, first floor, and attic. The rooms are named after the works or characters of Giacomo Puccini; in fact, Prince Calaf was the lover of "Turandot," the composer's last famous opera.
Breakfast at Prince Calaf is varied and caters to different dietary needs, including gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options.

Area mid-centre
In every season, there are opportunities to visit Lucca and its surroundings. The well-preserved historic center boasts numerous churches, towers, museums, and famous squares such as the Anfiteatro and the birthplace of Puccini. Lucca hosts must-see events like Lucca Comics, the Summer Festival, concerts dedicated to Puccini and other musicians, Murabilia (an exhibition-market of unusual flowers and plants), fairs, and cultural meetings.
Excursions to the nearby Garfagnana with its majestic mountains and interesting towns like Barga, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, and Bagni di Lucca are also very beautiful.
Lucca is an extraordinary dive into the heart of Tuscany, with its hills rich in vineyards and olive groves. It is close to the sea of Versilia and to highly sought-after cities and towns of art such as Florence, Pisa, Siena, San Gemignano, Volterra, Collodi, and more.

Very convenient for a visit to Lucca, just a few minutes from two access gates to the historical center. We stayed for one night, on our way to southern Tuscany. Nothing to say about order and cleanliness; the availability and courtesy of Martina make you feel at ease right away. The breakfast buffet is absolutely TOP.

Unfortunately, we stayed only for a weekend. The room was spacious (with even a hot tub) and very clean. The welcome was excellent. Martina is a great host, helpful and nice. Just a stone's throw from the center of Lucca. I highly recommend it.

Comes with on site parking, English is spoken, the rooms are clean, linen sheets on the bed, welcomed by a member of staff, an entry card and room key provided, large selection of buffet breakfast options (some people took photos). This place sits outside the walls of Lucca and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk in. I look forward to my next visit.

B&B near the walls (about 150 meters) on a slightly busy intersection with ambulance passages during the night. The internal parking is not very large, but we were able to park the car and walk to the center. However, the structure and breakfast are good with a plentiful buffet of sweet and savory. Our room was set up in a particular way, all in pink, with a shower and a built-in hydromassage bathtub. Nevertheless, all the staff were very helpful and at the reception, the lady was very kind to give us all the directions to visit Lucca.

The staff was very kind and welcomed us. The room was equipped with every comfort and delightful details. We enjoyed a bath in the tub (with offered salts), a very comfortable and quiet night, and an unparalleled sweet and savory breakfast. The location is outside the walls but absolutely ideal for those, like us, who want to explore the surroundings (Barga, Monte Fegatesi, and other beautiful nearby places), as it has parking and is in the direction of Garfagnana. We will definitely return. Thank you.

The welcome was very good and Sabrina and Martina were very kind. However, the room (number 2) was below expectations: quite bare and cold (we recommend a light color on the walls that matches the ceiling), the furnishings are not well taken care of (there is also no bedside table for the third bed and the bed squeaks), and the mattresses are too hard, very uncomfortable. The painted ceiling remains beautiful.
