Description

La Terrazza da Ernestina is an apartment in Borgo Giannotti, Lucca, with access to a terrace and views of the garden.

Set about 1 km from the historic centre, it offers a choice between a 70 m² apartment and a separate 30 m² double room. Both have private bathrooms, air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine.

The larger apartment has a kitchen, balcony, patio and terrace, with garden and inner-courtyard views; its layout combines a double bed and sofa beds. The double room has a kitchenette, city view, king-size bed and bath, alongside shower facilities. WiFi is free throughout the property, and private on-site parking can be booked for a charge.
