About this property

ARIAS APARTMENT in the iconic Piazza San Michele

Lucca is at its best when you are centrally located and able to visit its sights literally steps from the front door. Walk out of the front door of this 12th-century medieval palazzo and you’ll find yourself on the iconic Piazza San Michele, the most historic Lucca landmark.
The apartment’s door is at the charming Piazza Cittadella in an incredibly central location between two squares, opposite to the Museum-Birthplace House of the world famous composer Giacomo Puccini (in the square below the apartment they take place Cartoline Pucciniane, short opera arias from the Puccini repertory) with its unique atmosphere filled with Italian old fashioned ice cream shops, superlative cafes and fine restaurants (including the most famous La Buca di S. Antonio located opposite from the apartment). The romantic heart of Lucca lies around Arias Apartment: absorb la dolce vita while enjoying a glass of wine at one of the wine bars literally 20 steps from your door and sip a sundowner while gazing across the iconic skyline of the medieval palaces.
The Arias Apartment affords you this luxury as it is conveniently located in a central part of the city, a short walk both from parking and train station.
With its history firmly rooted in the 12th century, the palazzo building in which Arias is situated brings both old Lucca charm and modern Italian design together featuring modern appliances such as air conditioning in both bedrooms and a strong WIFI connection. After the apartment was restored in 2019, it is now luxurious and contemporary with clean lines and modern surfaces, but it remains characterful with authentic furniture and paintings in its rooms.

Late check in, up to midnight, is possible with a little surcharge of 50 euros to be paid in cash upon arrival . After midnight a fee of 100 euros is required.

Could not have been more perfect
We recently stayed in this apartment as a party of four with two young children. It’s in the perfect location, the central part of town and easily walkable to a great variety of shops, museums restaurants, and landmarks. Our host Cristina was incredibly responsive. Our check-in was easy and she walked us through everything so we could immediately settle into the apartment. The rooms were super clean and comfortable. We truly felt like we lived there. The only criticism that I have to say is you could definitely hear people out on the street talking walking by. The bedroom with two twin beds was very well protected from the sound but the master bedroom was pretty loud especially on a Friday night. That’s part of the charm of being in the middle of town on the main road, but maybe bring some earplugs or headphones if you’re a light sleeper. We will definitely be back!

Lovely Lucca
Brilliant property. Hosts were excellent, very professional and this made us very confident straight from the initial booking. Beautiful apartment. Quite a few stairs so tricky if you are not mobile. Location was excellent. In the midst of the town without being overly noisy. Lots of musical performances just outside which we loved.wed love to return.

Beautiful Apartment in the Perfect Location
Arias apartment was fabulous! Our 2 week stay in Lucca was made so great by being in an area near 2 grocery stores, multiple restaurants, the antique market, and beautiful churches. Parked in the Cittidella lot: got a month pass card that made the cost much less (💶50 for a month) Arias kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. The bed was comfortable, large closet, nice small bathroom. The decor was so lovely! There is a flight of fairly steep stairs to the apartment door and a few short stairs inside the apartment, but we got in shape quickly with the challenge. The location was awesome! Piazza Cittadella has it all: 4 restaurants, a gelato shop, a statue, and a museum…Chiesa di San Michele was right around the corner. Lucca is a beautiful city; we loved our stay and this beautiful apartment.

Posto Meraviglioso
Il posto era davvero meraviglioso! Ha superato ogni mia aspettativa! La ragazza che ci ha aiutati con check in e prenotazioni è sempre stata super disponibile e gentilissima! Non una cosa scontata considerando che abbiamo alloggiato nel periodo più caotico dell’anno, ovvero il Lucca Comics! Davvero perfetta la posizione per l’evento!

Highly Recommend
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the excellent location at piazza Cittadella adjacent to Puccini’s home, and the amenities provided. Air conditioning during the hot and humid night allowed us to sleep peacefully. We highly recommend this flat.

We absolutely fell in love with the location
Sidrak’s gorgeous home was such a lovely spot to spend the Christmas holiday. We absolutely fell in love with the location within the walls of Lucca. The master bedroom was spacious & comfortable, our girls loved the twin bedroom and we enjoyed many family meals in the combined kitchen/dining areas. As mentioned by previous guests, there is some noise from street sweepers and happy shoppers, but for our family, it was a small trade off for the best location. Easy access to the town’s beautiful musical, religious and artistic history, as well as delicious restaurants & adorable shops. Incredibly helpful guidebook provided, as well as informative and easy checkin process. Highly recommend!

This apartment was absolutely perfect.
This apartment was absolutely perfect. Well appointed and in a great location. Some people commented about the street noise but it didn’t disturb us at all. Actually it was wonderful hearing all the joy coming from the streets below and it settled down very early. Manuel was extremely attentive and immediately responsive when we needed guidance. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Très bon accueil.
Parfaite disponibilité en cas de besoin. Merci pour la flexibilité sur l'horaire de départ. Superbe appartement, très agréable, très bien placé, bien équipé. Parfait... sauf un peu de bruit nocturne le week-end sous les fenêtres d'une des chambres.

Gorgeous apartment
This gorgeous apartment is located on the square where you’ll find the statue of Puccini, his house and museum. There are many restaurants, wine bars and gelato shops nearby and a supermarket downstairs. There was expected noise from the street at night but it wasn’t too much of a problem most nights. There are some stairs to climb to reach the apartment but once inside it is an oasis from the busyness of the town. There are two spacious bedrooms, a large living / dining room with a well appointed kitchen that includes a microwave, kettle and toaster and large fridge. There is a washing machine too. Navigating the rubbish disposal is not difficult and there are well labeled bins half a block away near the carrefours supermarket. Hiring a bike is highly recommended as it’s a great way to circumnavigate the town on the city wall path. I would highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay here again.

We will be back!
You will not be disappointed if you are a couplea party of four looking for comfortable, attractive, and affordable accommodations in the heart of the walled town of Lucca. Our expectations meshed perfectly with the reality of our experiences, especially after we booked and then previewed the neighborhood courtesy of Google Earth's virtual tour. Best of all was the hospitality extended by the cafe owners and staff in our little Cittadella Piazza right outside the entrance to our apartment building.

Perfect Location
We really enjoyed our stay in Sidrak’s apartment. It was a lovely place, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and just doors away from Puccini’s home, on the piccola piazza that honors his memory. (It was fun watching musicians of all sorts posing with his statue & paying homage). The place was close to everything, but also a bit removed from the noise and activity of bigger, more busy piazze. We rented bikes and were happy to be able to park them in the tiny courtyard within the building. Beds were comfortable and it was really nice to have a washer/dryer at our disposal. Communication was excellent with apartment managers. Our only complaint was being charged 50 euros for arriving after 9 PM. Our original itinerary had us arriving almost 12 hours earlier (& we imagined having to kill time before we could enter the apartment), but our airline had other ideas and rescheduled our flight, causing us to arrive 30 minutes after 9 PM, & having to pay a fine that seemed unusually steep. We were in good communication with Sidrak’s apartment managers throughout the day, so they knew our situation.

Appartement très raffiné
Appartement très raffiné ! Très joli et correspond bien aux photos. Très bien situé. Bonne literie. N’oubliez pas par contre vos boules- quies. La rue est très bruyante le matin et le soir et les fenêtres sont très fines. Merci à Manuel pour sa réactivité suite à la panne de chauffage dans notre chambre. Merci aussi pour les bons conseils de restaurants.

We would book it again and again!
We found the Airbnb to be very exclusive! We were very impressed by the location, the appearance and the cleanliness. The check-in went smoothly and the extra recommendation book was very helpful. We enjoyed our vacation in Lucca very much and the Airbnb supported this very much. What is recommended is to bring earplugs, as it was sometimes a bit noisy at night)
