I've come back this evening from a trip to Lucca with my old parents and can only confirm all the good things experienced by other travellers in this hotel.

Although Lucca is not a crowded or noisy town, staying just outside the city walls at the Hotel Melecchi ensures a peaceful night. Giovanni, Julia and their father are welcoming and very helpful - they really seem to enjoy their work and that shows! The rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable. The breakfast is OK, if a little unimaginative.... more

We chose Hotel Melecchi based on Trip advisor reviews, location and parking. We were greeted by Giovanni who throughout our two week trip was possibly the friendliest and most helpful hotelier we encountered. Our room was clean and spacious and perfectly comfortable; we didn't experience any noise at night as the hotel is a 5 - 10 minute walk to... more

We had a wonderful stay in Lucca and it was in great part due to the extreme friendliness of the hotel staff. They were so helpful while planning our daily trips and always knew the best places to go and eat true Tuscan foods. I will come back to this hotel everytime I travel to this lovely region. more

From: Richard, Ipswich, UK I was looking for a base in Lucca for a break with my wife, sister and brother-in-law. My criteria were: easy parking, walking distance from the old city, and value for money. The reviews for Hotel Melecchi were encouraging, and I was not disappointed. For the price category the accommodation is excellent, and the staff are... more
