“San Luca Palace enjoys an enviable position, right inside Lucca's historic walls. The building itself carries centuries of history, dating back to 1540. I especially like that it blends that legacy with contemporary comforts, like high-speed Wi-Fi and well-appointed rooms featuring Baga and Swarovski furnishings.”
