See what our recent guests have to say about their stay at Casa Ettore.
"A great apartment in a central but quiet location in the walls of Lucca Travelling as 3 couples, all 3 bedrooms were very comfortable and the en suite shower rooms were spotless - we all commented on the bedding and how well we all slept! A very spacious lounge area and a well apportioned kitchen/diner Jen and Eric were proactive, helpful and clear in the communication ahead of check in. All information was provided electronically and in a booklet at the property Key safe entry made for a very easy check in I would not hesitate to recommend Jen & Eric’s apartment to anyone wanting to travel to Lucca. It’s a great location on a quiet street, just steps away from piazza’s, restaurants, bars and shops Thank you both!"

"What a wonderful city and apartment. The house is in a perfect location close to all Lucca has to offer. The three beds with en-suite baths were so comfortable. The apartment is very large with everything you could possibly need. Thank you for a great week in Lucca. We look forward to returning soon."

"An excellent find in an amazing city. Lucca is best on bikes so you can cover the entire city (and burn off the pasta tordelli!). This host provides 2 bikes and there are 2 rental places within 200m. Do what you can to get a reservation at the restaurant nearly next door, Osteria da Pasquale. It is over the top in food quality, wine curation, and friendliness. Around the corner in the closest square is Vanni wine shop and next to it, their bar. Visit the wine shop for an equally well curated set of options, and then ask to sit at the bar with it and order their charcuterie board. This is well beyond any tourist driven experience. They, like Pasquale, are the kind of places oenophiles and foodies that value “authentic” are always hoping to find. Brava Casa Ettore and the community that surrounds you.

Casa Ettore is our full-time home that we rent out while off on our own adventures. While we make space for you, much of our personal belongings remain (especially in the master room). We open our home to you with trust and hope you will appreciate all the comforts that a regular home (not a sterile vacation rental) provides.

You will be asked to share a photo of all passports via Airbnb's secure messaging system prior to check-in. The lockbox code will be shared only after all photos have been sent.
