NEW LISTING – LUCCA, TUSCANY
‘O mio babbino caro!’* we’ve landed gracefully in Lucca
Gazing dreamily out from its shuttered windows onto Piazza San Michele** ‘within the walls’ of the gorgeous medieval city of Lucca, sits this gently reawakened palazzo waiting to welcome you with open arms within a framework harking all the way back to the 1200s.
Achingly chic and traditionally Lucchese in style, this ravishing restoration steadfastly clings to its classic roots...
Spearheaded by its owner, the distinguished interior designer and architect Maria Oliva, in close collaboration with our gifted design partners at ArchFlorence, taking its name from the statue of the Archangel Michael flanked by angels and crowning the Church of San Michele in Foro directly opposite – a glorious Romanesque-Gothic marble masterpiece resembling an elaborately frosted wedding cake – and immersed within the very centre of the laid-back warren of peaceful pedestrian-and-bike-friendly narrow streets and pretty piazzas, charming traditional shops and gourmet eateries aplenty that magically meld together to make Lucca one of the most liveable – and loveable – cities in all of Italy, ‘Dimora Dell’Arcangelo’ comprises 3 extraordinary apartments that, when combined, can host a total of 18 guests when reserved for exclusive use.
Cradled by the Apuan Alps and the Apennine Mountains to the north, don’t be at all surprised if lovely Lucca steals your heart!
Within moments of the birthplace, home and now museum of world-renowned Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini – che romantico! – and charmingly attired in rich textiles and quietly elegant furnishings as befits a city famous for its silk production throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance – just imagine! – the palazzo offers air-con ensuring your comfort under the Tuscan sunshine and boasts a radiance and old-world ambience that guarantees to soothe the soul.
Giving breathtaking cityscapes and every modern-day comfort, along with striking architectural features and a serenity we know you’ll cherish, guests are supported throughout their stay by local members of our friendly team in accommodation that includes:
Dimora Dell’Arcangelo La Loggia (2 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms) sleeping 4
Reached via the palazzo’s main entrance on the Via San Paolino, with lift rising to the apartment’s private entrance on the...
3rd Floor, where we open the doors to reveal:
Hand painted with passion and meticulous attention to detail by esteemed restoration-and-interior specialists, Giannoni & Santoni of Livorno... an instantly enchanting entrance hallway enrobed in a stunning tromp-l’œil, Italianate garden mural complete with pretty arbours, ambrosial vistas and fluffy white clouds (don’t forget to look up!) with Versailles wooden parquet flooring guiding you towards...
A fabulous dual-aspect main living room (well insulated from the bustle outside) comprising sumptuous sitting / dining areas with windows facing the piazza and hills beyond (what views!) and showcasing the most incredible blue marble-and-wood flooring crafted in such a way as to appear 3D, beautiful hand-painted beams scattered with leaf motifs above, plenty of comfy seating plus a traditional dining suite lit by lantern hosting 6 guests with ease surrounded by a collection of fine art that grabs your attention and upholds that all-embracing period Lucchese vibe
A sliding pocket door opens to reveal...
The well-equipped kitchen – a very luxe affair built for conviviality and culinary creativity – with deep vermilion bespoke cabinetry, marble work surfaces, antique mirror backsplashes and a host of Gaggenau appliances, including that all-important wine cellar for keeping the local Montecarlo Bianco chilled and ready!
There are 2 opulent bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms:
A gorgeous dual-aspect, sunflower-yellow principal bedroom offering city views to the side and rear and comprising a beautifully upholstered double bed, wooden parquet flooring, mirrored wardrobes in its private entrance / vestibule hallway, a bijou furnished loggia / balcony accessed via glazed French doors... a perfect little spot to take your morning cappuccino and cornetto (Italian croissant!), plus a sparkling en suite bathroom in slate-grey and sun-baked terracotta with hand-painted wallpaper in a bold leaf design, a pair of wash basins and an enormous shower (plenty big enough for 2!)
Accessed via the apartment’s main entrance hallway are 2 further bedrooms sharing their own entrance / vestibule...
A treasure of a 2nd bedroom in the prettiest shades of pink and blue, boasting a view of the piazza, wooden parquet flooring, a double bed in fine fabrics, a velvet-lined wardrobe, not forgetting the exquisite handmade ceiling decoration that frames the room like a work of art and a superb bespoke en suite bathroom in light-green marble with large shower and luxury bathtub
Returning to the shared entrance / vestibule, we take a few steps down into...
A delightful TV room / snug with a comfy sofa, hand-painted walls plus a neat little drinks bar with fridge and mini sink for mixing your favourite cocktails before venturing out to dinner
An utterly charming twin bedroom – sooo cute! – presented in beautifully co-ordinated colours and fabrics with a pair of pretty single beds, hand-painted walls, a super view over the Renaissance Palazzo Pretorio to the side and, passing the room’s mirrored wardrobe just beyond, a dreamy en suite bathroom in ballet-slipper pink marble with hand-painted walls in a flora-and-fauna design and a luxuriously large shower that makes starting the day an act of pleasure!
And finally, completing Dimora Dell’Arcangelo La Loggia’s unforgettable accommodation...
A simple guest bathroom (loo and wash basin only) plus a separate laundry room with combined washing machine / dryer
Is this apartment already booked? Then take a look at Dimora Dell’Arcangelo La Loggia’s two equally special sisters: Dimora Dell’Arcangelo Piano Nobile (1st floor, sleeping 7) and Dimora Dell’Arcangelo La Residenza (2nd floor, sleeping 7).
Soon to be joined by the 4th and final apartment within the palazzo: Dimora Dell’Arcangelo Penthouse (4th floor, sleeping 6)

OUR COMMENT
We can’t think of a more memorable place to stay in all of Lucca than this remarkable palazzo property that, quite simply, has it all!
And what of Lucca? My word, what an absolute stunner of a city...
Easy to fall in love with, very much on a human scale, and a beautiful contrast to the hustle and bustle of some of Italy’s premier tourist destinations. Perfect for winding down and exploring at a gentler pace, it’s a cornucopia of treasures to discover at your leisure with an atmosphere that enchants no matter your age and interests...
And with Dimora Dell’Arcangelo as your base, you’ll feel the spirit of Lucca...
‘Overflowing with everything that makes for ease, for plenty, for beauty, for interest and good example’ – Italian Hours (1909) – this quote by writer Henry James about the city of Lucca mirrors exactly how we feel about Dimora Dell’Arcangelo!
Within easy reach of the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi (a 16th-century palace and art museum), the surprising little gem Domus Romana Lucca Museo Archeologico (the excavated remains of a Roman villa discovered in 2010 in the Renaissance cellars of a Lucca property and offering a remarkable insight into the city’s history), the Torre delle Ore (the medieval clock tower, the tallest tower in Lucca) offering stunning views of the city and the surrounding mountains beyond and taking in the iconic 14th-century, tree-topped Torre Guinigi (also a must-visit and well worth the climb!)... not forgetting Lucca’s incredible Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, the Church of San Frediano with its spectacular and colourful Byzantine mosaic, and Il Duomo (the Cathedral of San Martino) with its beautiful sculpture by Jacopo della Quercia of Ilaria del Carretto, second wife of Paolo Guinigi, the Lord of Lucca in the 1400s – note, when you visit, the loyal little dog resting at her feet, a symbol of marital fidelity.
Or hire bikes and take a leisurely cycle around the raised, tree-lined city walls built in Roman times, enlarged during the Renaissance and necklacing Lucca’s centro storico – bike rental is readily available, including 6-seaters and tandems – fun for all the family!
A stone’s throw to an enormous variety of excellent cafes, bars and restaurants – Lucca is pretty much food and wine heaven! – including (but not only!) Buca di San Antonio and Da Rosolo (both steps away), Osteria da Pasquale, Chiasso 13, Osteria Nova, Rusticanella 2 da Luca, Tomkat – Enoteca con Cucina and Ciacco Bistro... the list could go on and on!
Very close to fantastic small food and wine shops that make self-catering an utter joy rather than a chore, amongst them OrtoFrutta Lucca Centro (fresh fruit and veg), Macelleria Walter Domenici (butchers), Polleria Volpi (poultry), Il Mercantino (deli), Antica Bottega di Prospero (a variety of wonderful local products), Enoteca Vanni (wine shop), Forno a Vapore Amedeo Giusti (bakery), Meucci Pasticceria and Pinelli (cake shops)... plus there’s a small PAM supermarket just seconds from the apartment.
Also convenient for the annual Lucca Summer Festival held in Piazza Napoleone and the monthly Lucca Antiques Market – one of the most important in the country with more than 200 exhibitors and held on the 3rd Sunday of every month and the preceding Saturday in Piazza Antelminelli, Piazza San Giusto, Piazza Bernardini, Piazza San Giovanni, Piazza San Martino and on the Via del Battistero – happy hunting!
And last but certainly not least, only a 30-minute drive (approx.) to the fashionable beach resort of Forte dei Marmi overlooking the Ligurian Sea, where the Italian glitterati and high society congregate and have historically spent their summers drawn to its golden beaches, exclusive beach clubs, upscale nightlife, and chic shopping.
