Description
CASA SANTA ZITA is a convenient and comfortable apartment perfect in every detail, from interior design to functionality and location, right in the heart of Lucca.
This absolutely homey one bedroom apartment, completely and recently restored, is located on the top floor of an antique building located along VIA S. ANDREA just a few steps away from the TORRE GUINIGI and VIA FILLUNGO. The apartment faces an internal courtyard thus ensuring silence and complete tranquillity.
The apartment can accommodate up to 4 guests thanks to its master bedroom and the new double size comfortable sofa bed. The apartment features 1 bathroom with a built in shower, a living room with sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and laundry facilities.
The living room is equipped with a cosy double sofa bed and a big flat screen tv with international channels.
The kitchen, fully equipped and modern, features anything you may need you cook your own favourite dishes.
Air conditioning is provided as well as iron and board and a very reliable WIFI connection provided by the national phone company.
The lovely outdoor area is equipped with a comfy and lovely sofa to relax and enjoy the piano music from the nearby music conservatory of Lucca Luigi Boccherini.
A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT THIS APARTMENT IN LUCCA:
The apartment is located in an antique palace and more exactly in the rooms that in the 13th century housed the kitchens of the former Palace of the family FATINELLI which were very famous silk merchants of Lucca during the whole middle age. Here from the year 1218 to the year 1278 SANTA ZITA (Saint Zita) lived as a servant of the Fatinelli Family.
Coming from a poor family, at the age of twelve he started serving at the Fatinelli family's house in Lucca. According to the devotional tradition, it was immediately appreciated by the poor for generosity and by the Fatinelli family for their dedication to work and goodness of spirit.
The same tradition recounts the legend according to which, perhaps because envious of the affection received by Zita, another maid of the Fatinellis would have started to imply in the mind of the head of the family the suspicion that Zita stole at home what she gave to the poor; one day the master, meeting Zita with a bloated apron as she went to a needy family, would ask her what she was carrying; although this was full of bread, Zita would have replied that she wore only flowers and leaves, and, having melted her apron, flowers and leaves would have fallen.
The people of Lucca are very devoted to Santa Zita, almost as much as they are devoted to the Holy Face. The devotion to Zita, in "smell of sanctity", grew considerably throughout his life so much that, at his death, the faithful of Lucca wanted his body to be buried in the Basilica of San Frediano. Tradition reports that it has remained incorrupt: it is still visible - mummified naturally - in the transparent case under the altar of the chapel dedicated to it. The last canonical recognition of the mummified body was carried out in 1989, together with the palaeopathological study.
Santa Zita was so revered in Tuscany that she was quoted by Dante Alighieri who, referring to a magistrate from Lucca, talked about the elderly of Santa Zita, already identifying Lucca with the saint. Note, however, that at the date of the writing of the Divine Comedy attested between 1307 and 1321, Zita was already dead (1278) but had not yet been canonized, as her cult was approved on September 5, 1696 from Pope Innocent XII. Nevertheless, Dante already indicated her as a saint, further proof of the great popular devotion that Zita was the protagonist of.
Santa Zita was proclaimed patron saint of the servants by Pius XII and is also patron saint of Lucca, housewives and bakers. The week of April 27 is held in Lucca, at the Basilica of San Frediano and the amphitheatre of Lucca, in honour of the saint, a floral event aimed at remembering the miracle of breads transformed into flowers.
For reservations confirmed before November 15th 2019 heating if used is charged extra for 6 euros daily.

Casa Santa Zita is simply the best! We stayed 7 weeks and it had everything we needed for a long-term stay. Kitchen is well-equipped, bed and couch extremely comfy and the apartment is furnished beautifully. The spaces are bright and look exactly as they do in the pictures (perhaps even better)! The private courtyard is a wonderful addition, as is the lift (especially for taking luggage/heavy shopping up). Location is perfect, right in the middle of town. Thank you to Manuel and the team at Lucca Apartments and Villas, who are all wonderfully attentive and helpful for anything you may need. We can’t wait until our next visit :)

Dear Sheradyn,
It sounds like your stay at Casa Santa Zita was absolutely fantastic! Spending seven weeks in a place that feels just right is truly special, and it’s wonderful to hear that the apartment had everything you needed for a comfortable long-term stay. From the well-equipped kitchen to the exceptionally comfortable bed and couch, it’s clear that every detail contributed to making your stay enjoyable. The bright, beautifully furnished spaces, which looked even better than in the pictures, along with the charming private courtyard and convenient lift, seem to have been perfect touches. Being right in the heart of town must have been a great advantage for exploring and enjoying the local atmosphere. Thank you for your kind words about Manuel and the Lucca Apartments and Villas team, pointing out that our attentiveness and helpfulness clearly made a big difference in your experience. We’re thrilled to hear you’re already looking forward to your next visit, and can’t wait to welcome you back for another stunning stay! A Presto! |

Great location near the Torre Guinigi and a quieter place, due to the flat's location within a gated small set of buildings. Fantastic view of the Torre Guinigi and wonderful classical music heard due to the proximity of the Conservatorio Luigi Boccherini. It's tiny, so only good for one person or a couple.

I was not happy with the payment arrangements. The final payment was made for 1440 euro which converted to 1570 USD$. The total amount that was charged was 1647 USD$. 77$ or 70 Euro more than should have been charged. If this is an outside agency that you are using this should not be charged to me. Also, when we made the original contract booking in Sept 2022 the check in time was until 2100- when we checked in (at 2030) I was told that there was a 50 euro late fee. This is wrong. I feel that you would treat a return customer better. This was the fourth time that we booked with you and I was also responsible for recommending other parties to you that did rent Casa Barbra in 2019 and 2022. Your consideration of a refund on this will be appreciated. Mille Grazie- I hope to book again with you soon. Ciao

Dear Dino,
Thank you for your review with the maximum ranking, that prizes us of our efforts and for appreciating Manuel’s attention. We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to him! Regarding the issues you raised about the recent discrepancy in the amount charged for your purchase, and the late check-in fee, we understand the importance of transparent communication and appreciate the opportunity to clarify this matter for you. Upon investigating the issues, we have learned that: _the discrepancy in the charged amount is a result of the currency conversion attributed to oscillations in currency exchange rates, performed by the credit card provider at the moment of the transaction. It's important to note that Lucca Apartments and Villa’s does not have control over the exchange rates set by credit card companies _from 2023 check-in is from 3 pm to 8 pm, after which there is an extra fee to be paid, having you reserved prior, you may not have been updated on the new arrival times, and we are very sorry for this. We understand that such fluctuations can be inconvenient, and we sincerely apologize for any confusionfrustration this may have caused, and we inform your that we will apply a special discount on your next reservation, of € 120, as a refund for the expenses that you have sustained. Thanking you once again for choosing Lucca Apartments and Villas, we look forward to welcome you back and can't wait to host you again soon! A Presto! Elena |

Lucca is perfect and this apartment makes your stay there even more idyllic. From listening to opera and classical music in the lush and shady garden, to cooling off from the heat of the day inside the well appointed interior of the apartment. Everything you need is only a few steps from the apartment: provisions, restaurants, places of note and cultural interest, scenic views. The apartment team are friendly, helpful and responsive. Many thanks to Manuel for a smooth arrival and departure. We recommend and would definitely return.

We stayed here for 4 nights, and thought the apartment was bright, extremely clean and well appointed. There were pleasant surprises: the view of the Guinigi Tower, the private garden space, the welcome bottle of wine, the elevator. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage for us to fully unpack. The apartment was clearly renovated to a very high level, and the added personal touches and decor helped make it inviting and comfortable. The host was extremely accommodating with our changing check-in time, and Elizabeth was waiting for us when we arrived. As others have noted, the music coming from the music school was an added bonus. We would highly recommend this apartment and hope to return.

This apartment is absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect to explore Lucca and beyond, due to its proximity to the train station. The apartment is meticulously clean and is equipped with everything you need for a shortlong term stay with lots of books about the history of the region. The furnishings are absolutely beautiful. There is a music school next door and music and singing filters through the apartment most days which is just so very “Italian”, and the furnishings are all of a music theme. We 100% can recommend this beautiful apartment as your home away from home in Lucca.

Mooi, ruim en schoon appartement in het centrum van Lucca! Prachtige locatie om de stad goed te verkennen. Er is zelfs een lift aanwezig en een mooie (ruime) buitenruimte waarin je heerlijk kan zitten. Ook zijn er zijn twee fietsen die je kan gebruiken, echt top! Een fijne ontvangst, met een heerlijke fles wijn, en goede en snelle communicatie met de verhuurder.

Splendid self contained apartment with all amenities. Perfect central position. Comfortable bed. Lucca water is drinkable and good. Lift is a lifesaver when hot (or if have mobility issues). Pleasant private courtyard where can hear music from adjacent music school (not a big issue but worth taking bugs spray). Would stay again and definitely recommend.

Close to shops, bars, restaurants etc. The check in was nice and easy - the property is managed by a company who can be reached if anything is needed. We were also provided with a handy guide book that covered any questions we might have had. The apartment itself was really nice and felt very much like home. A bottle of water & a bottle of wine were also provided which was a really nice touch! The private garden was a great space and had music from the local music schools which created a nice ambience! All In all, I can't rate this property highly enough and should I ever return to Lucca, I will definitely want to stay here again!

Casa Santa Zita is a little gem, hidden away in the old paved streets of Lucca Old Town. Accessed through a courtyard at the end of Vicolo del Pescatore. There are 50 stairs to reach the apartment, if you want to put the steps in, but there is a modern lift to take the strain as well, with an amazing view of the Torre Guinigi as you step out of the lift. The apartment itself has to be seen to be believed, a description just does not do it justice. The well stocked kitchen area has everything you need for cooking and cleaning, including a dishwasher and a washing machine. The bed was really comfortable and the shower both quick acting and efficient. Sonia and the concierge team are readily accessible by phone and email and are more than happy to answer your queries (I managed to find a newsagent that sold the Gazetta dello Sport, thanks to Manuel). As mentioned, the musical sounds from the collegio next door regularly drift across into the apartment and the enclosed garden downstairs, which adds a certain Italian feel to your stay. Must also mention the complimentary use of two bikes , a must for traversing around the town walls, if the 2.5 miles is a bit too far for you to walk. As far as eating out goes, you literally can't go wrong. However the well documented listings in the handbook that can be found in the apartment gives you plenty of options. Our favourites? Nearby, Osterian Nova 'restaurant' and Pult and il Bistro by Piqui 'wine bars'. Further afield, on Via San Paolina, Rusticanella2 da Luca and Osteria del Bastian Contrario. With a special mention to Pasticceria Dianda - a four minutes walk to pastry paradise! And Suffice to say we will be making plans to visit Casa Santa Zita again, which is probably the best endorsement one can give. Diolch yn fawr iawn i bawb am arosfa hyfryd / many thanks to you all for a lovely stay!

I can’t say enough good things about this apartment and I can’t find anything that’s a fault. It’s bright and airy, and tremendously quiet except for the lovely sound of musicians from the conservatory next door in the afternoon. The bedroom is completely dark and silent. The bed is on the firm side and comfortable and there are 2 densities of bed pillows to choose from. Kitchen is very well equipped. Location is smack in the center of Lucca. Check in and out was a breeze. There’s a binder with extensive information about shops, restaurants, and pretty much anything else you might need. The downstairs private terrace is a wonderful place to sit and readhave drinks and there’s an elevator which makes that easy to take advantage of. The bikes were a nice bonus too.

Simply magnificent. Try the Truffle pasta at Osteria Nero just a minute away and sign up for an amazing cooking class at Extra Virgin Cooking School!

Spotlessly clean with a lovely attention to detail with the decor and lovely small touches eg the Italian coffee pot with coffee provided. We also had water and a lovely red wine left too- very nice touch! We had a problem with no hot water but 1 phone call and it was fixed within the hour. Bikes were provided but we never used them. Ideally situated in the heart of Lucca with many restaurants close by. We enjoyed walking the walk ever day

This apartment exceeded our expectations, the previous reviews definitely did it justice and it was a very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated/furnished apartment. We were very grateful for the bottled water (and wine!) which were left to tide us over until the morning. The supermarket is a very short walk from the apartment which makes it extremely easy to buy groceries as required on a daily basis and the prices are more than reasonable. The central location in the old centre of Lucca was perfect, just seconds from the shops, bars and restaurants and we never tired of exploring the old narrow streets. Having said this the apartment is deadly quiet and I don't think I've ever slept so well!

This apartment is wonderful. It's decorated beautifully and has all the amenities that you could ask for, and it's very comfortable. The central location is perfect, too – near a lot of shopping, dining and sight-seeing but at night it's nice and quiet and the neighborhood is a joy to stroll around in the evening. The host was very nice and quick to respond to my questions. I also loved the books about Lucca and it's history that they added. My only regret is not booking the apartment for several more days.
