B&B Il Seminario

Lovely hotel in a central location, just inside the city walls. Modern facilities in a historic building. Room was great and cleaned daily. Had complimentary toiletries, hairdryer and a fridge. Excellent breakfast and lovely staff. Also enjoyed afternoon tea in the garden. Loved the old photos of Lucca in the breakfast room.

Italian Perfetto! A home from home! The most perfect BnB in Lucca. This will always be my first choice on my annual trips to Lucca.

Spent a night here in early July as we were visiting Lucca to see Lenny Kravitz perform as part of the city’s annual music festival. We flew in to Pisa Airport and got the train to Lucca- from the station it was about a 15-minute walk to Il Seminario, The hotel is situated within the walled city, and from the outside looks like a residential property. We arrived late in the afternoon, and after some minor confusion over whether my partner or I had made the booking we were checked-in very quickly. The hotel owner showed us personally to our room, which we thought was a nice touch, and he explained how to access the building late in the evening and details about breakfast. The room was a good size, and though it was a bit old-fashioned we liked it. There was also a clean and good-sized bathroom, together with lots of storage space. After freshening up we walked into the centre of Lucca, and found that within ten-minutes-walk there are the main tourist sites of the city together with a wide range of cafes, bars and restaurants. We slept well in the comfortable bed, and went down to breakfast the next morning. This was all self-service, and we were impressed with what was on offer given that it is a small hotel. There was a wide range of fruit, pastries, cheeses and meats, with excellent coffee, and the quality was good. After breakfast we went back to our room, packed and checked out ahead of the next part of our trip to Tuscany. We enjoyed our brief stay here and would recommend it for a trip to Lucca.
