Description
Villa Ricci Suites B&B is an elegant example of Art Nouveau architecture dating back to the beginning of the 1900’s. The Villa is situated just outside of the Renaissance walls of Lucca along the tree-lined avenue that runs along the walls.
In just 5 minutes you can easily reach the walls of Lucca on foot.
The villa was recently refurbished keeping the original characteristics of the façade and the interior. The Villa offers 3 beautiful Family suites each with 2 double rooms and a bathroom, a cosy breakfast room and private parking space surrounded by a big garden.
The three family suites Adriana, Silvia and Sara (named after the owners of the property) are decorated and furnished in a very simple yet elegant style, combining the original classic wooden furniture and the more modern beds and chairs together, accompanied by the typical granite chipped floors by the famous “Tessieri” from Lucca. This well-preserved flooring dates back to the beginning of the 1900’s and it belongs to the original structure of the Villa.

Breakfast
Seeing as we are a Bed&Breakfast we do pride ourselves in the wide selection we offer at breakfast time – there’s no better way to start the day, especially when you are on holiday!
Every morning from 8. 30 to 10. 00 am you can find a typical Italian breakfast buffet in the Villa’s breakfast room: all kinds of cakes and biscuits (often homemade), croissant and brioche fresh from the pastry shop, fresh bread, butter and jams, yoghurts and cereals of various kinds, fresh and dried fruit, nuts and seasonal fruit salad. If instead you prefer something more savoury, we also offer a cheese platter with cold cuts, tomatoes and even hard-boiled eggs on request.
The small size of the structure and the limited number of guests allow us to offer practically a “personalised” experience for our guests according to tastes and needs. Even so we do require that you inform us beforehand of any food allergies or intolerances so we may do everything possible to satisfy your needs.

Hey from Serena
Member since December 2021 |

My name is Serena and I have been working in Tourism for many years, I love my “job” because it gives me the chance to meet people from all over the world, all with the same interest: discovering and exploring Italy, living the Italian culture and in particular the Tuscan way of life. This is why I consider myself to be an “ambassador “ for the culture of Lucca and Tuscany.
Villa Ricci is an all-female run business with me Serena and other 3 ladies: Adriana Ricci and her daughters Sara and Silvia. Even if we are very different one from the other, we do have in common a sense of love for reading and travelling, an eye for beauty and art – which is easy to see by the library in the hall of the Villa.

We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful villa in Lucca and it truly exceeded all our expectations. The host's warm hospitality and the attention to every detail made the experience exceptional. The villa itself is a masterpiece of charm and elegance, with a perfect blend of modern comfort and historical beauty. The cleanliness of the property also deserves a perfect 10. It was immaculate upon our arrival, and the maintenance throughout our stay was flawless, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic environment at all times. The array of unexpected accessories (ex. bikes, shared kitchen) provided an extra touch of comfort. The villa's location next to the city wall is a real highlight. Being able to stroll into the heart of Lucca within minutes was a very convenient way to approach this beautiful city. This stay will hold a special place in our heart, and we can't wait to return for another exceptional stay. Thank You, Serena!

Serena was an incredible host and we loved the property. It had everything we could need or want and had plenty of Italian charm. It is just a short stroll to the inside of the city wall which meant it was quiet while also convenient. Would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling to Lucca.\n\nBig plus to Serena who managed to organize a great and comfortable private transfer from Pisa Airport at the last minute for us.

The accommodation was great. Serena is a fantastic host and the communication was excellent. The location is great, just a short walk from the old town, the breakfast personalized and top-notch. We were able to use the parking, unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to use the garden. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended for a visit to Lucca.

The answer from the host:
Gentilissima Mara, grazie per la recensione e per le belle parole. Mi dispiace molto però di vedere che ha dato voto 3 al rapporto qualità/prezzo.....purtroppo il voto così basso fa media per comporre il punteggio generale e non viene compensato dalle belle parole! Non capisco sinceramente...avete avuto una Suite tripla per 2 persone in una data di fine giugno tra le più ambite a Lucca dato lo svolgersi di un concerto unica data in Italia, ragione per cui avete soggiornato da noi....avete avuto la Suite disponibile già dal mattino, parcheggio privato a meno di 10 minuti a piedi dal concerto....colazione inclusa usufruita solo da una persona perchè l'altra non fa abitualmente colazione..... Il giudizio sul rapporto qualità/prezzo andrebbe a mio avviso espresso non in base a quanto idealmente vorremmo pagare, ma in base a ciò che si è ottenuto pagando quel prezzo considerando determinate circostanze...che in questo caso sarebbero l'alta richiesta di camere quel giorno a Lucca o il fatto che la camera prenotata è una Suite per 3 persone con due camere comunicanti ed un bagno ed il prezzo non può essere paragonato ad una camera doppia standard di qualunque altra struttura. Cordiali saluti Serena

Our party of 6 really enjoyed our stay. The B&B Villa Ricci Suites had large and clean rooms. We had a comfy sleep. Great location with a nice outdoor area with candles where we could convene at the end of a long day. The bikes were a real bonus and reason enough to stay here. They are readily available, and we used them both days of our stay. The breakfast was enjoyable. The transaction overall was convenient from start to finish. Great value, we recommend!

A beautiful villa with a warm welcome from the hosts. We loved the room and the use of complimentary bikes. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely do so again when we next travel to Lucca. Lucca town is very pretty and it is a real treat to be able to stay at this lovely villa. Serena and Julia were just lovely and helped make our holiday very special. We could not give it any less than 10 stars.

We greatly enjoyed our 4 nights at B&B Villa Ricci Suites. The house is a 10-minute walk from Centro Storico and an easy drive out of town so it was easy to access everything we came to Lucca to do. The room was generously outfitted for comfort and breakfast was ample and tasty. Serena was always available for questions and kindly offered all the assistance we could want. Thank you, Serena, for making our stay comfortable and giving our visit the personal touch. We will reach out to you again the very next time we plan a trip to Lucca.

Elegant structure in a strategic position in the historic center. Discreet and professional welcome and management. Excellent opportunity to use bicycles on site and for free. One advice: to review especially the fender supports and check the lights. Convenient parking and well-kept garden. Too bad if the windows are left open at night, to avoid using the air conditioning, due to intense traffic at certain times. Thanks to Serena and… onwards!

Villa Ricci is a wonderful Bed and Breakfast in a beautiful Villa at a perfect location close to the city center, but as the villa is close to a main street it is not the most quiet location. The rooms are very spacious and nice. We had a family room with two bedrooms and a private bathroom. The breakfast is also very good and (for Italian standards) rich. Serena is a perfect host, who takes care of her guests and has a lot of good tips. We definitely will come back!

We felt very comfortable. All our requests were met. The B&B Villa Ricci Suites is beautiful and very clean. We could rent bikes and park our car in the enclosed courtyard. You can reach the city center in a few minutes on foot. The villa is located directly on a road, which is quite busy during the day, but the traffic decreases significantly at night, so it becomes very quiet. We didn't hear anything from the other guests, even though all the rooms were occupied. We were very satisfied and can definitely recommend the Villa.
