“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.”

The room decor felt dated. The bedding could use an update (especially the bedspread). I also found small red insect, possibly beetles, in the bed. It made the night unpleasant.
