What a charming place. Pretty room and all you need in it. Best breakfast we have had in Italy for sure, and very helpful and kind hosts. Very good position, close to the centre of town but just out of it enough to be quieter. A bit of street noise but part of the atmosphere so did not worry us.... More

Everything about this B&B is good, as long as you don't get the smallest room as I did. If possible, go for the en suite rooms as they are worth the extra cash for more space and a more comfortable night's sleep as the room will be more airy. There is no air conditioning but there are fans in each... More

La Gemma di Elena is a bed & breakfast in the centre of Lucca. It is run by very helpfull and friendly people. It has an atmosphere that makes you feel at home with a nice livingroom where you can eat your breakfast. The rooms all have their own style, furnished with care. Everything is clean and well taken care... More

The place needs a refresh. The breakfast is a bit poor. The fan in the bathroom is very noisy too and you get all the rumors from the street early in the morning. It's ok for one night only but no more than that.

Stayed two wonderful nights at Gemma di Elena in Lucca. While it's not terribly close to the train station, the town is small and we were able to walk with two large suitcases. It is very close to everything else. Jan, the manager, welcomed us warmly and helped us up the two flights of stairs to his cozy little hideaway.... More

We stayed in Lucca for two nights and absolutely loved this B&B. It was just like staying at our grandmothers (except Italian!). The rooms were cute, full of kitsch little trinkets and the homely lounge area was warm and packed with character. We had the best sleep of our two week trip of Italy - our room was clean, really...

The B&B is lovely and looks very nice. The problema was that our double room with bath was right on the street,where cars and people go by and shout at any time of the night (and very early morning). Breakfast was a bit poor, with no real bread and weird capuccino. It was ok for one night,but I wouldn't go... More

We stayed here in 2007 and were not intending to be in Lucca this year but best laid plans of mice and men.....the laws of indecision and luv of Lucca intervened. Arrived unannounced and banged on the door to a smiley greeting to grab one of the ensuite rooms and settle in to trawling the alleys. it reminds me of... More
