Awesome apartment in Palazzo Pfanner (XVIIth century)

Situated on the first floor of Palazzo Pfanner, a prestigious baroque palace and a building of historic interest in the centre of Lucca, the apartment recreates the atmosphere of ancient patrician homes. The apartment, frescoed during the 18th and 19th centuries, with the original beamed ceiling and floor decorated with small coloured mosaics in the Venetian style, offers a splendid panoramic view over the 18th century historic Garden of Palazzo Pfanner and the adjacent city Walls. It comprises a vast light double bedroom with three wide windows that look onto the Garden (with the possibility of adding two little folding beds suitable for children from 0 to 4 years old), a bathroom with shower cabinet, a sitting cum dining room (with two added single beds), a kitchen with an ancient stone sink and a corridor. The fireplace can be used but only with the consent of the owner. Free access is available from the apartment to the adjacent monumental Residence and Garden. The apartment is furnished with valuable period furniture, has autonomous central heating, TV, WiFi and bedroom, bathroom and kitchen household linen. In the immediate vicinity there are restaurants, bars, shops, and supermarkets. The car park is only five minutes away on foot. The apartment is an oasis of peace where you can work in tranquility, in smart working, thanks to a high-speed network connection. Two famous films were shot in the halls and in the garden of Palazzo Pfanner: 'Il Marchese del Grillo' with Alberto Sordi (1981) and 'Portrait of a Lady' with Nicole Kidman and John Malkovich (1996).

Just Heavenly
Such a beautiful Palazzo steeped in history and elegance. Dario is an affable, gracious, and helpful host. The gardens are lovely with statues and a large fountain. The location is perfect, an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, and all kinds of shops. That is if you ever want to leave the palatial apartment, with its tall windows and view of the gardens. We purchased groceries from some local stores and had breakfast in our lovely dining room every day. We also enjoyed several charcuterie and salad luncheons there. The atmosphere and acoustics are wonderful. We sang and played guitar in the evenings to entertain ourselves and it was delightful! My husband and I have already booked for next year. We are in love with Lucca and Palazzo Pfanner! Thank you, Dario!

A highlight of our trip
We will always have fond memories of our stay at the Palazzo Pfanner. What a privilege to stay in this fine Palazzo. We loved looking out the windows onto the amazing garden. Dario was wonderful and even invited us to attend a concert in the Palazzo. The location is a short walk from the walled city. So much to see there. Don’t pass up the chance to stay here.

A great experience!
We had such a lovely time at the Palazzo Pfanner. Beautiful property, just as described, and a powerful fan next to the bed to stay cool on those warm summer Italian nights! You won’t be disappointed, this place is beautiful. Thank you Dario!

Lucca’s gem
Dario and Ettore, our hosts, we’re gracious and kind. The property is a historic landmark in Lucca. People pay to view the gardens, that are basically our back yard. The gardens open to the public between 10-5. This afforded us the opportunity to have quiet breakfasts and dinners in this beautiful garden. Simply amazing! The rooms have 25’ ceilings and the rooms are huge. The bed was very comfortable.

Pure magic
I have never stayed in a place as beautiful and awe-inspiring as Palazzo Pfanner. I teared up when I walked in. It is truly breathtaking. Dario is a lovely host who came to the rescue when I left my passport in the room after I'd checked out. Simply perfect in every way. I cannot wait to bring my family to this spectacular place. Lucca is now my favorite Italian town. I miss it already!

Awesomely wonderful.
Must experience a property like this to appreciate how the nobility lived. The gardens are out of this world for relaxation. The host Dario is a rather cultured person so a pleasure to meet. He is more than attentive to all enquiries about a stay in the adoring city of Lucca. A wonderful vacation in Pallazzo Pfanner, much more than ever expected.

What a magnificent experience
We were greeted at the station and brought to the property which is just as it is pictured. Lucca is a very special historical and classy place. Can not speak more highly of our stay here. Cinque Terre was a day trip which was an 1hr train ride. Perfect location
