Area city center

The B&B is located at a 10-minute walking distance from Lucca train station. Free parking is available at Piazzale Don Baroni, just outside the historical walls and not far from my property. Situated in the heart of the historical center, it benefits from its proximity to major tourist attractions such as Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, the Cathedral of San Martino, Piazza Napoleone, G. Puccini Museum, and Torre Guinigi.

Lucca, an ideal location for both sea and mountain lovers, is less than 40 minutes away from both Pisa International Airport and the Versilia Coast. It also has good connections with the city of Florence, which is less than an hour away.

A very pleasant discovery! Wonderful Lucca and the B&B Evelina is absolutely recommended for its location, tranquility, the kindness of the manager, and the serenity that is felt throughout the stay. Considering the 'covid period', nothing more could be desired, not least the tranquility of cleanliness and sanitization of the premises and the attention given.

The location of the B&B Evelina is excellent. Unfortunately, for the rest, we found it poorly maintained and we encountered several inconveniences. Apart from the lack of cleanliness, especially in the bathrooms, we had issues with the locks of one of our rooms and especially with the main door lock which was always difficult to open; one evening we even had to ring the neighbors to have it opened. In one of our rooms, the radiator was not working and it was very cold. However, the guy who served us breakfast in the morning was very kind, but we never saw the manager.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Philipa, Grazie comunque per la recensione per la quale resto attonita. Procediamo per ordine. Il mio b&b si è sempre contraddistinto per la pulizia e l’accuratezza nei dettagli, amo il mio lavoro e i miei ospiti. Mi sorprende il voto 4 che avete dato alla colazione visto il quantitativo di cibo che avete mangiato ogni mattina. Per la serratura anche il ragazzo è sceso a farvi vedere che funzionava, infatti nessun’ospite ha avuto problemi. Che avreste avuto freddo lo avevate deciso già alla prenotazione viste le telefonate che mi avete fatto. Il motivo della mia assenza è stato di carattere personale molto grave, potevate chiedermelo in uno dei vostri messaggi a cui ho risposto tempestivamente, prima di scrivere a caso, motivo per cui ho chiesto aiuto ad un amico. Mi dispiace molto abbiate maltrattato il mio impegno, la mia serietà e l’amore che ho per il mio lavoro, riconosciuto da tutti i miei ospiti. Peccato! Grazie comunque per la visita e buon proseguimento.

Silvia is a 360-degree host, pleasant and welcoming like her structure. The location of the B&B Evelina is strategic (2 steps in the true sense of the word from the magnificent Piazza Anfiteatro). Large, clean and tidy room. In short, I will come back!

Great B&B in a very central but quiet location. Remember that it is on the 3rd floor (no lift) if you have luggage and it has a shared bathroom setup which may not suit some. Host was lovely and breakfast plentiful.

Great location but you earn with the steps up to the 3rd floor. The building and rooms are charming if you are willing to trade convenience and modern for character and location, as well as a fantastic price. The host is warm and helpful without being intrusive so it really feels like your own flat. Definitely ask for recommendations for restaurants as Sylvia has great knowledge and won't steer you wrong. This is a great no frills budget option that keeps you in the center of everything! If you travel for the adventure and not to luxuriate in a fancy (expensive) hotel then this is a great place.

We enjoyed our one night stay in B&B Evelina, Lucca. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, overlooking the clock tower. Silvia made us very welcome and helped with booking a restaurant for that evening. Breakfast was a buffet of sweet and savoury choices plus coffee. The B&B was in a great location for exploring the town.

We stayed in this structure in the triple blue room, it was very pleasant for the nightly silence despite being on the main street, the room is equipped with everything, the furniture in every environment pleasantly takes you back in time. Excellent welcome from Silvia, very attentive and helpful. The breakfast solution on the terrace allows you to enjoy a beautiful view of the roofs of Lucca with the hour tower standing out. A single suggestion might be to associate the exclusive bathroom with one closer to the room in use. I highly recommend this structure to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauties of Lucca both day and night.

Bonne adresse en plein cœur de Lucca. On a bien dormi dans des petites chambres décorées au style années 30 Mieux vaut éviter les bagages lourds pour monter au 3ème étage. Le matin on déjeune au son d’Edith Piaf avec vue sur la ville.

We had a lovely stay at Silvia’s bed and breakfast. The room was nice and comfy. It’s situated right in the heart of Lucca and it’s easy to get around and all the attractions are close by since Lucca is such a small town. Silvia made our salary very enjoyable and we were not missing anything.

Superb position seconds from the main street down a quiet alley. Some street noise at night so rooms at the back would be quieter. Shabby chic decor so not for fussy contemporary minimalists. Marvelous breakfast on terrace with view of one of Luccas towers across the roof tops. 7 flights of stairs and no lifts so good for fitness!

B&B in zona centralissima, in un vicoletto appartato senza rumori, al quarto piano. Camera spaziosa e pulita. Piacevole colazione su un piccolo balconcino, con vista sulla torre delle ore. Silvia, il gestore, gentile e disponibile nel dare informazioni utili e venire incontro alle esigenze degli ospiti. Due piccoli bagni a disposizione degli ospiti.

Ci siamo trovati benissimo, il B&B si trova in una via al centro di Lucca, zona molto tranquilla e confortevole. Per non parlare della proprietaria, Silvia, che fa sentire i suoi ospiti come se fossero a casa. Più che B&B sembra un hotel a 4 stelle. Da consigliare.

Prezzo alto per un servizio modesto. Pulizia scarsa. Struttura? Una camera e bagno in comune. La cucina è riservata al personale. Nessuna climatizzazione. Devi dormire con le finestre aperte per cui vieni svegliato dalla pulizia delle strade. Unico vantaggio: la centralità! A 20 mt da via Fillungo. Colazione piuttosto standard: frutta gelata da frigo, merendine confezionate, torta Cammeo, se va bene. The star. Cortesia formale. Una delle ragazze non capisce l'italiano.

Die Lage des B&B war sehr gut - gleich mitten in der autofreien Altstadtzone. Zum kostenfreien Parkplatz außerhalb der Stadtmauer waren es circa 15 Gehminuten. Die Vermieterrin war sehr freundlich und bemüht; das Frühstück schön angerichtet und ausreichend und der Blick beim Frühstück vom Balkon über die Dächer von Lucca fantastisch. Die drei Toiletten mit Dusche am Gang waren stets sauber und gepflegt. Die Wohnung befand sich im 3. Stock eines historischen Gebäudes ohne Aufzug. Es hat uns dort sehr gefallen und wir können es weiterempfehlen.

Siamo rimasti molto contenti dell'ospitalità di Silvia, gestore del B&B, tra l'altro bravissima nel preparare ottime colazioni (arricchite con torte e dolcetti appena sfornati). La nostra camera era molto spaziosa, ben arredata (con mobili d'epoca) e, soprattutto, molto pulita. Il bagno, situato in un corridoio vicino alla camera, è piccolo ma carino e funzionale. Il B&B è situato all'ultimo piano di un bel palazzo del 1800, privo di ascensore, quindi non consigliato a chi ha problemi di mobilità. La posizione della struttura è ottimale invece per chi volesse perdersi fra le viuzze di Lucca. Il palazzo è infatti situato in una laterale di Via Fillungo, arteria principale della città (con bellissimi negozi e botteghe artigianali) e a pochi passi dalla Piazza Anfiteatro e dalle principali piazze e attrazioni turistiche/culturali di Lucca. Abbiamo avuto invece problemi con il posteggio dell'auto, in quanto i parcheggi disponibili per non residenti (tutti a pagamento) distano parecchio dal B&B (il più vicino è a quasi un km). Nel caso però ci si voglia avvicinare al B&B con l'auto, Silvia può provvedere alla richiesta di un permesso d'entrata provvisoria per il carico/scarico delle valigie. Di Silvia abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la disponibilità nei nostri confronti (ha consentito di portare in camera il nostro cane, ci ha fornito di ombrelli..) e la cordialità verso i tanti ospiti che in quel momento alloggiavano al B&B.

Difficile de donner une mauvaise note après avoir séjourné dans ce B&B. L’accueil est chaleureux et attentionné. L'endroit est constitué de 6 chambres et de 3 salles de bain avec un grand salon et une salle à manger. A l'arrivée notre chambre nous attendait avec les serviettes soigneusement pliées et enrubannées ainsi qu'un beau savon. Le logement est silencieux bien qùen hyper centre avec un petit déjeuner différent tout les jours. Possibilité de le prendre sur le balcon avec une belle vue sur Lucques. Un petit bijou de Toscane!
