Bella Vista Terrazza is a stunning luxury apartment rental in the heart of Lucca, a charming medieval town in Tuscany encircled by magnificent 12th century Roman walls. This luxury Italy vacation rental is perfectly positioned within the walls in centro storico between the three most important piazzas of Lucca, and directly opposite the Cathedral.

Terrazza is a private apartment of 300m2 that sits atop a 16th century palazzo with spectacular 360° views across the city and surrounding mountains. With an interior that beautifully blends historical features with iconic design, flooded with natural light, and 24/7 concierge service.

Explore this charming pedestrian-zoned city on foot with all the Lucca historical sites, cafés, restaurants, artisan shopping and famous walls a 0min to 10min walk from the apartment.

Wake up and enjoy fresh coffee on one of the three terraces gazing over terracotta rooftops to the mountains with the sound of church bells. Spend days living like a Lucca local strolling through the medieval lanes, cycling on the wide tree-lined walls encircling the town, dining in authentic Tuscan restaurants, hiking the Roman aqueduct, and enjoying the abundant cultural festivals held year round in the town piazzas.

After a day of exploring, put your feet up and enjoy the spectacular sunsets and mountainous skyline from the top terrace with a refreshing Spritz in hand and relax to the sounds of Puccini from the concerts next door – an italian aperitivo of dreams!

Continue your luxury vacation with a relaxing Tuscan dinners on the lower terrace overlooking the beautiful cathedral before joining the locals on their nightly passeggiata with gelato. Sleep peacefully in this quiet residential zone feeling relaxed, and inspired by your daily experiences at Bella Vista Lucca living la dolce vita!

Positioned between the living room and downstairs terrace, the large Tuscan kitchen meets modern day gourmet cooking requirements. The 16th century fireplace, cotto floors and copper pots will be a feast for the eyes while you prepare a feast, with Miele appliances, Leibherr wine fridge and a superb AGA oven at your disposal. This kitchen dining area for 8 guests may just become your favourite gathering place!

The huge sun-soaked terrace directly off the kitchen provides another magnificent dining setting amidst flowering plants and kitchen herbs. Enjoy long leisurely lunches under the shade of the bamboo canopy and warm summer nights overlooking the golden duomo facade.

For a slightly more formal occasion or on cooler nights, enjoy an Italian feast for up to 14 guests on the long chestnut table in the living room complete with Italian linens and crystal glassware.

Downstairs the three large bedrooms all exude charm with Tuscan beams, natural colour palettes and views from every window. From a small hallway off the living room you will discover the Lucca queen bedroom with a large private ensuite bathroom. The Pinocchio room next door has two single beds and shares a large separate bathroom and full bath with the Puccini queen bedroom. A separate walk-in robe room provides additional clothing storage for the heaviest of travellers.

Upstairs is divided into two areas. The large Parent Retreat area with cathedral views is the perfect place to hide away for a nap on the large floor cushions or to catch up on your reading. On the other side of this room behind a curtain the Loft queen bedroom with large ensuite bathroom becomes a private haven. The BVL bedroom layout is perfect for several couples holidaying together or large families wanting privacy for children and adults.

A short staircase from the upper level takes you to the Loft terrace. The envy of Lucca, this rooftop entertaining zone has breathtaking 360° views across terracotta tiles, church spires and the surrounding Italian mountains. A spectacular backdrop to your morning coffee and yoga or sunset aperitivo with friends, this view will be etched in your memory forever.

Lucca in October
Beautiful well appointed flat in the middle of Lucca! Steps away from all of th sites and sounds of the city! Kitchen, terrace, bedrooms /bathrooms were all pristine! Only complaint was contractors on scaffolding right outside the terrace and kitchen windows…..and the elevator was out of service for a 5th floor flat. A pre-arrival notification would have been appreciated as we would have attempted to find an alternate location without the walk up.

Spectacular stay!
We traveled throughout Italy for three weeks and Bella Vista was the highlight of our stay. The host, Caterina, was extra responsive and able to accommodate all of our requests prior to check in. She arranged salon visits, a private meal prepared by two lovely ladies, and contacts for various planned activities. Upon check in we met with the local host Manuela…what a peach! So was on top of everything and readily available during our entire stay. The location was ideal! Walking distance to everything. The people of Lucca were so friendly and welcoming and made us feel at “home”. The apartment was beautifully appointed, furnished, spacious, and filled with everything you may need to relax and enjoy your stay. And yes, the AC works great! The most challenging part was making our way to the top with our 50 lb luggage, so pack light! Without luggage, I appreciated the climb every day. Great way to get my heart pumping. We traveled with six adults and we never felt on top of each other. Plenty of space to spread out. The outside space was another magical spot to enjoy the views. Stop looking…you will not be disappointed!

I can’t say enough about this villa, absolutely gorgeous, huge, spotless, great location, included everything we could possibly need. The large main terrace was a dream that we spent many hours enjoying. Caterina and Manuela were wonderful to work with and helped with many planning aspects in advance and during our stay. We stay in VRBA’s all over and this was the very best in all aspects! We would absolutely return. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Lucca love
Decided to stay one week in Lucca with 7 total people, 5 different ‘households’. The bedroom configuration was perfect for us. The two terraces were so nice to sit on and enjoy the outside. The apt was so clean and well appointed. Cate, Manuela and Chloe took great care of us. They left a bottle of red, a bottle of white, 2 different pasta sauces plus pasta along with some fruit for starters. So perfect to have pasta with sauce on the terrace within 20 minutes if arriving! Location is perfect. Not too far of a walk to the train, wall, cafe. The cafe to the left right outside our door was the best. Laundry machine on-site a great convenience. The high-end refrigerator had frozen ice packs which were so nice to have when we arrived bc it was so hot and they hit the spot when placed on the back of the neck. The ice machine worked great too. We’ve stayed in many rental apartments and this was hands-down the best! Thank you Cate, Manuela & Chloe!!

Wonderful apartment overlooking Lucca
This lovely apartment made a perfect locale for our family reunion of 8, with three generations. Everything was well appointed and very clean and comfortable, even better than the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked with all the wares needed for a large group. The terrace overlooking the city is just perfect for evening aperitivos and dinners. (We highly recommend the lovely dinner prepared by Simonetta at the apartment, and served on the terrazo!) While the steps up to the apartment were a bit of a trek as we arrived with suitcases, they never bothered us later on. Lucca is a gem and the apartment is ideally located for exploring the town, its shopping and restaurants. Cate was responsive and very helpful throughout. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment.

Fabulous apartment
I booked this apartment for a special family holiday, five nights in April 2019. It was fabulous, it's an elegant and well equipped apartment with a massive living/dining room, a large kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are two terraces with wonderful views, the larger terrace with a table to seat eight comfortably and leading straight from the kitchen. The apartment is in a residential area of Lucca, away from the main shopping streets but only a five minute walk from wonderful, high quality shops and restaurants. We bought pastries and cakes every morning, we had a mix of meals on the terrace (lucky with the weather) and meals in local restaurants. We had days out in Florence and Viareggio, both by train as the apartment is less than a ten minute walk from the station. We also hired bikes to ride around the walls of Lucca. And we visited Pisa on the way back to the airport. Our party comprised two people in their 60s, two in their 40s, two in their 20s and two teenagers. It worked well for everyone, we all loved our time in Lucca and would like to return. One comment is that the tap in the kitchen needs some attention as the water flow is very slow, unlike the bathrooms where it is perfect. The showers are excellent, everything else seemed 100% brilliant. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place to stay in perfect Lucca!
Caterina's apartment is beautifully decorated and maintained with everything a family could need for a perfect stay. It was easy to communicate with her, and Manuela on location in Lucca was helpful and charming. We researched our holiday carefully and found the house manual very useful and well put together-so we enjoyed doing lots of different things in and around Lucca as well as shopping, eating and drinking in Lucca!

Paradise in Paradise
This was my second stay and I can't imagine a finer "apartment" in Lucca for larger groups. Our contact for the apartment is local and responded immediately with any questions we had. Everything you need, including glasses, dishes, wine refrigerator, dish washer, washing machine, elevator, are present. The 360 degree views from the rooftop terrace(not to be mistaken with the beautiful dining terrace outside the gourmet kitchen) are spectacular. It is straight from the pages of Architectural Digest with no detail or expense spared. From a more practical( and maybe more important) standpoint the apartment is quiet at night and the beds are extremely comfortable. With a Wine Bar located on the ground floor and the nightly Puccini concerts only several feet away,there are few reasons to leave the apartment. I am currently in the process of planning my third stay next summer.
