Good: Friendly owners, family feeling, quiet spot, good breakfast in nice 'winter garden', quiet balcony, nice garden, spacious parking, sufficiently OK bikes (and owner would fix them in a second if something was wrong and you asked) Not so good: A bit far from the center, the room was a bit small and quite dark (can be good in summer... more

We stayed at Al Tondone for a week in May and like the other reviews found an excellent B&B, which was made exceptional due to the thoughtful hosts Anna and Benito. Nothing was any trouble for Anna and the free bikes made the journey to Lucca (and around old Lucca) a leisurely 15 minutes. ..cruising round the trafic free old... more

If you had an Aunt in Italy ... you would want her to be Anna, the wonderful owner of Al Tondone. She, her husband Benito and daughter made our 3-day visit to Lucca a wonderful experience -- from making dinner reservations, to providing bicycles to ride along the Roman wall of Lucca, to baking specialties for breakfast. Thanks Anna, we... more

In almost every detail, this is a real find - from the moment a smiling Anna met us at the rail station (no charge) to excellent ensuite double room with a balcony. There is a secluded garden, bicycles are available (free) and breakfasts are all we could wish for. The owners, Anna and Benito, offer true hospitality. The beautiful city... more

In six weeks in Italy this is the stay we enjoyed the most. Why? Because of the owners - lovely friendly people. What a difference that makes. We arrived by train and did not have a car. We were picked up and dropped off at the station. Each day we were taken up to the town. We walked back. This... more

I had never been to Lucca before and was very interested to see what it was like. I found Al Tondone on this website and already in the e-mails we exchanged to book the room Anna showed her friendliness and willingness to help. The B&B is a little out of the historical center, in a residential area. Behind a high... more

If Lucca is a jewel in Italy's crown, then Anna is definitely the jewel in Lucca's. We had a wonderful break and Anna and Benito could not have been more welcoming. The breakfasts were brilliant, the garden gorgeous and Lucca lovely. more

This perfect and very friendly B&B made our stay in Lucca complete.. Location just outside the walls is ideal and the provided bikes will help you into town in a few steps on the pedals.. They even have some menu's of the nice local osterias in town.. Don't miss Gigi for local dishes.... Anna and Benito thanks! more

There's no other way to experience the Tuscan life than staying at a B&B; Lucca is no exception. Al Tondone is SUCH a charming place, and Anna took SUCH good care of us. She shuttled us to/from the train station, made wonderful restaurant suggestions (we had the best food in Lucca!) and her breakfasts are A-MAZ-ing. Our room was very... more
