Casa AriasARIAS 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.
