We really enjoyed staying at the R. San Lorenzo. The building was quite unique - an old palacio inside the city walls of Lucca (fantastic location), with an enormous front door - you really felt like you were in the Renaissance! The room was quite adequate, with a nice view of the court yard, functioning AC, and an adequate bathroom,... more

Lucca is a lovely city, and the Relais San Lorenzo is very centrally situated, accessable by car within the city walls, The owner/manager Raffaella speaks English, and is very friendly. She and her mother were really kind and helpful to my 87-year-old father who travelled with my wife and I. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. Lovely place, lovely... more

Relais San Lorenzo, Lucca This is a city centre B&B and is manned at only certain hours. Before we arrived we had an e-mail asking what time we would arrive. We said around 6 pm but on the day, we arrived earlier than anticipated and found no-one there. We phoned and a kind lady came from home to admit us.... more

Lucca is a wonderful city, but it is a maze. We had a bit of trouble locating the hotel due to the one way narrow streets. Having parking inside the palazzo was great. The entry area is a bit rough, but still it had its own bit of charm. You have to carry your bags to the second floor. The... more

We stayed at the Relais San Lorenzo for two nights. It's about fifteen minutes walk from the train station, and a little tricky to find because some of the streets in Lucca have medieval twists and turns. It's located in a grand old building, close to the main shopping streets. They do have a reception area, and the staff were... more

A little difficult to find – there is just a tiny brass plaque on the wall next to the huge wooden doors. I’ve posted a photograph to hopefully help any future guests. There is no reception at Relais San Lorenzo – you have to check in at Guest House San Frediano in Via Degli Angeli, just a short walk away.... more
