Couldn’t have been better. It was such an amazing building in a wonderful central location. The communal lounge was traditionally decorated and so relaxing. The room was large and relaxing with top quality furnishings, super large comfy bed. Bathroom was great with a nice strong shower. Our host was enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful. We took his advice and went to the Puccini theatre performance and museum. We hope to visit again. Lucca is fabulous and not to be missed.

It is a very unique place. Nicely decorated in the ancient/medieval style. Located in a busy area so you can be in the centre of Lucca and taste the atmosphere of the town. Very good contact with owners, you could feel very comfortable.

Memorable stay in historic center of Lucca
Amazing location in the heart of Lucca. The room was beautiful and very characterful making it an unforgetable experience. Because of the central location and the old windows it can get noisy but this didn't bother us. The host was very helpful and gave us some very helpful recommendations.

8/10 Very Good

Place was lovely, staff member Alice was very helpful, good location. Breakfast for 6 euro nice. Small place with 4 rooms in very old but nicely updated house. Only downside was street noise that went on most of night making it hard to sleep. We were there on a Friday- maybe quieter during weekday. You cannot bring a car into that part of Lucca, so you should arrange garage which staff was helpful in doing

We stayed at L’ Antica Bifore for two nights in room Beatrice and it was magical! The room was uniqe and very charming, the location was in the middle of Lucca and could not be better. The hosts Alessandro & Alice were so welcoming and helpful, giving us recommendations for what to see and where to eat in Lucca. This stay exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful city!

This historical property is beautifully kept by Alice and her associates, and Alice was the most gracious host. She made check in a lovely personal experience, making us coffees and giving a map of the city with all her suggestions for food and activities. Suggestions that we took full advantage of and had a wonderful time experiencing. I greatly recommend staying at this beautiful property, it was a delight!

L'Antica Review!!!!
This place was absolutely beautiful, Alessandro and Alice were the best hosts a family could ask for. My wife and I rented the whole place for a week with my adult children and they were absolutely amazed and this place. It is right in the center of Beautiful Lucca, and only ten minute walk to anywhere in the city, and 13 minute walk to the train for day trips. We even got to meet their beautiful 6 month old child who is beautiful. We will be staying there again on our return trips to Italy, this was a first for my wife and myself and can honestly say as hosts other places have a lot to live up to if they want our business, from what places to eat, to special places to see. On a personal Note: Thank You Alessandro and Alice you made our week one of the most amazing. Joe DePasquale.

The L'Antica Bifore was the perfect stay in Lucca. One feels as though they live in Lucca, as the guest house is in the heart of town near everything, through an old door that leads upstairs to the residence. The interior is absolutely beautiful, maintained in a period style with furniture, murals, artwork and every element consistent with an elegant historic residence from the 1200s. The room was comfortable, with stained glass windows, heating and air conditioning, and every detail thought through. Alice and Allessandro are the owners and hosts, and they pay attention to every detail and are attentive to every need. There are so many thoughtful touches and everything is clean and well maintained. I recommend getting the breakfast, as Alice puts together a beautiful box of pastries, juices, fruits and coffee. She also made suggestions for sightseeing, dining, apertivo, and wine tasting, and diligently helped us with reservations. Allessandro manages one of the top restaurants in town and he reserved a table on the piazza one cool night with blankets and overhead heaters making for a comfortable night out. The guest house is in the middle of everything with plenty of shopping and restaurants and food vendors all around. There is free parking outside town, or one can pay for parking inside and walk to the guest house. If driving, I recommend paying to park to unload/load bags nearer to the guest house, and then parking in the free parking outside the city walls.

Best Hosts. In the middle of historic center.
Alessandro and Alicia malted away any leftover anxiety from coordinating luggage drop-off and off-site parking. They are true naturals as hosts. The bathroom, quite small of course, still could have used a small table or chest to put our toiletries on. Otherwise, we were most comfortable. Our huge window opened up to the basilica directly across the narrow active street. Our hosts helped us locate bikes, make suggestions, and shared a most special restaurant to dine, one where they both are employed as manager and server.

A wonderful, beautiful and clean guesthouse
The most beautiful guesthouse in the most sought-after location – I cannot fault this place! Stefano was a wonderful host who welcomed us at check-in and talked to us about the best things to see in Lucca. The bedrooms, like the entrance/dining room, were out of this world! It was truly an immersive and wonderful experience in a beautiful city with lots to offer.

Grand base in a beautiful town
This is a wonderful ancient building right in the middle of town, and our room had great character with original windows opening directly onto the church opposite, painted murals and antique furniture. Really affordable at this time of year. The shower is tiny and the bed is two singles together - I'd prefer a proper double but that's ok. The room overlooks a central street but it's quiet overnight. We did bring earplugs as the street starts to wake up by 7 or so, but there was never the rowdiness we have at home. Our confirmation email from hotels.com had "free breakfast" under the heading of "facilities" but this isn't the case this time of year; to make up for this mistake, Stefano gave us vouchers for the cafe round the corner that we liked anyway, so we were happy with that. Stefano and Brid are really welcoming and helped with recommendations for restaurants - everything we ate and drank over five days was delicious.

Great stay
We stayed for 2 nights in mid-December and Stefano and Bríd couldn't have been more accommodating. We needed to change our booking to stay an extra night due to work commitments, and they were amazingly helpful and hospitable. The guesthouse is beautiful, with large comfortable rooms and useful amenities like a coffee maker, wifi etc. We loved our two nights here. Stefano gave us some helpful suggestions for places to eat and things to see, which were great - we ended up at one of his recommended restaurants two nights in a row! Lucca is beautiful and we enjoyed exploring during the bustle of Christmas, but without many tourists.

Traditional tower house accommodation
The accommodation is in an old tower house which was so interesting to see. Our room was at the back overlooking a quiet square with a lovely bathroom with stonework everywhere. Just lovely. Our friends were in the front and for them their experience was not the same. A very noisy street until 4.00am and then the street cleaners and a stall setting up meant they had no sleep, meanwhile we were happily unaware of this. The breakfast in the morning was quite basic with a selection of danish and croissant. Maybe some more traditional Italian meats and cheeses with fresh fruit would have been a nice addition. Hard though when there are only 4 rooms as you could have a lot of wasted uneaten food. My husband and I were happy with the choice offered. The location is ideal. We were dropped off outside the door in a taxi and collected at the same point. Restaurants, the walls and all the sights are walking distance. A beautiful property in a stunning location. Lucca was a delightful visit and we are so pleased we added it to our stay.

4/10 Fair

I'm surprised by all of the positive reviews here. It's a charming place in a good location but overall disappointing. It's way too loud to sleep at night. The beds are old and uncomfortable. The sheets were old and stained, it looked like old blood splatter on the sheets. Breakfast was just coffee and a few bad pastries. It's not a hotel, it's an apartment with separated rooms. Defiantly needs better beds and fresh sheets and towels.

I absolutely loved this hotel!! Its medieval look and feel was something completely new to me!! And the fact that they only have 4 rooms, you definitely feel catered to. Plus there arent a lot of people making noise etc... the rooms had amazing windows with super high ceilings... And!! It was in the heart of the town!!! I will absolutely stay here again.
