Residenza degli Artisti Apartments

Residenza degli Artisti Apartments is a collection of apartments in San Michele, Lucca, with private kitchens in the historic old town.

The accommodation ranges from one-bedroom apartments for two to two-bedroom layouts for families, with interiors measuring 50–80 m². Each has a private bathroom, air conditioning, a kitchen and a flat-screen TV; layouts differ in their views, number of bedrooms and bathroom fittings. Some overlook city landmarks, while others face an inner courtyard, and larger apartments include a bath and additional sleeping places.

For meals at home, kitchens have a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, cookware, kettle and coffee machine. Washing machines, dining tables and seating areas add practical features, and free WiFi is available throughout. Heating and a lift are also available in the building. Pets may be accepted on request, with charges potentially applying, although they are not permitted in the Two-Bedroom Family Apartment or Penthouse Apartment. Piazza Napoleone and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro are within 550 m, and Lucca Train Station is 900 m away. The apartments are inside the restricted-traffic area and have no on-site parking, so drivers should arrange access instructions in advance.

The six accommodation options comprise one- and two-bedroom apartments measuring 50–80 m², with capacity for two to five people. Across the range, each apartment has a private bathroom, kitchen, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, washing machine and coffee machine. Kitchens include practical cooking equipment, while separate living areas provide a place to sit and dine. The outlook varies: some apartments face city landmarks, while others overlook an inner courtyard.

One-bedroom layouts have a separate living room and bedroom; one includes a sofa bed for a third person. The larger options add a second bedroom and, in several cases, two bathrooms with a bath. The 80 m² family apartment sleeps up to five people, while the 70 m² two-bedroom apartment looks onto the inner courtyard. The 50 m² Penthouse Apartment is on upper floors without lift access and offers a more compact one-bedroom arrangement for two.

Every apartment includes a private bathroom and kitchen, with air conditioning, a washing machine and a flat-screen TV. Cooking equipment includes a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, kettle and coffee machine; dining tables and kitchenware support meals indoors. Bathroom provisions across the apartments include towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, bathrobes and a bidet, while layouts provide either a bath or a shower. Seating areas, sofas and desks are among the other in-room features.

Free WiFi is available throughout the property. The building also has heating and a lift, and offers private and express check-in/check-out; all areas are non-smoking. Pets are allowed on request, with charges possibly applying. There is no parking available at the property.
