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

We recently stayed there for three nights. Our room was beautiful with a small living area and a somewhat seperate sleeping area with a large canopied bed. Our view wasn't much to speak of however. One view was over a roof top and the other was over someones back yard where they kept chickens. But, the room more than made... more

In our bedroom, walls, cupboards and wardrobes were all covered in the same highly-patterned wallpaper; the... more

Excellent small luxurious Relais and Chateaux hotel from the same owner of Hotel La Principessa. Here you enjoy the charm and warmth of a small hotel .Perhaps it is not as 'grand 'as the Principessa Hotel in the Hall and the main public spaces but the rooms here are MUCH better and the restaurant THE GAZEBO is very elegant and... more

I was not at all satisfied with this so called 5 star hotel. I was given their best suite and although it was beautifully decorated the smell of stale cigarettes was hardly masked by the plug in room deodorizers. Perhaps when it was new it was worthy of such a top rating and exorbitant rates, but no more. more

Siamo stati a Locanda l'Elisa per trascorrere 2 giorni di relax e buona cucina e siamo stati davvero benissimo. La... more
