My favorite room in all of Italy. Automatically upgraded to the one bedroom apartment style room upon arrival - what a wonderful surprise. I can't tell you how great this room was. It had a very comfortable couch, chair, ottoman, dining room area, separate bedroom area (with very heavy curtains between the rooms, you could close for privacy). The apartment... More

We chose this hotel after reading Karen Brown's review. We have found her books most useful in choosing accomodations and we travel alot. After reading recent reviews on trip advisor we were so concerned we almost cancelled our reservation. I am SO glad we didn't. From the moment we entered the hotel we were so delighted that I wondered if... More

With my boyfriend we stayed here for two nights last July. The place is not bad, but for the prices they ask, we had much higher expectations! The room is small with good air-conditioning but feels old and therefore not very clean. The swimmingpool is not very clean either. The breakfast is nothing special and if you want an egg... More

Lovely hotel just outside of the city. Staff was great and helpful. The room had a four poster bed and was very quiet. Breakfast was great! Was charged to use the guest computer, otherwise a near perfect stay. Great restaurant nearby called La Cecca. It was recommended by staff and was outstanding. More

Don't be fooled: you cannot really walk to anywhere from this hotel, as it is on a main road, and certainly not into the beautiful city of Lucca. The garden is overgrown and in need of attention, the trees and shrubs around the oddly shaped pool (which itself is surrounded by what appeared to be stagnant water) is a haven... More

This hotel was recommended to me by my friends..i was searching for a quiet but romantic place for me and my partner. Somehow by chance I was lucky to find everything I needed for enjoyable stay. Outstanding hotel service was in full conformity with our desires and expectations..i have never been once disappointed. The attentive boy from reception met us... More

Locanda L'Elisa is a relatively small inn located mid-way between Lucca and Pisa. You need a car (or a driver) to reach the hotel. Lucca is about a 10 minute drive; Pisa is about a 20 minute drive. We had the "small" double and were apprehensive about it being the size of a closet, but we were pleasantly surprised. The... More

We booked this hotel because we know 5 star hotels are the only way to go in Europe. This was FAR from a 5 star hotel...interior was VERY tired. Food/restaurant was excellent as was the staff. But a little smelly and tired interior which was not great. More

The Locanda L'Elisa was an oasis - a charming villa just 10 minutes outside Lucca's city walls set in a lovely ring of mature trees creating a lush green quiet retreat. The pool is clean (and unheated), but the kids loved it. The staff are very polite and helpful with answering questions. The bathroom was immaculate and recently renovated. Bedrooms... More
