La Terrazza da Ernestina

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. Pets are permitted, with possible charges.

The residential setting places you near shops, restaurants and the northern approaches to Lucca’s historic centre. Guests frequently praise the short walk to the sights, the cleanliness and the private parking option. The outdoor terrace is shared with the host family, and some visitors have reported an uncomfortable, creaky bed.

The accommodation comprises a 70 m² apartment and a 30 m² double room, with the larger option offering a more self-contained layout and additional outdoor space. The apartment has a kitchen, balcony, patio and terrace, along with garden and inner-courtyard views. Its layout includes a double bed and sofa beds; kitchen equipment includes a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, dining table, kettle and kitchenware.

The double room has a kitchenette and a city view, with a king-size bed and both a bath and shower. It is more compact than the apartment, while still providing air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine. Both accommodation types have a private bathroom, and free WiFi is available in the rooms.

The property combines indoor facilities with outdoor space: it has a sun terrace, terrace and outdoor furniture, while the accommodation includes a private entrance. WiFi is free throughout, and air conditioning and heating are available; soundproof rooms are also provided. A flat-screen TV and tea/coffee maker feature among the in-room amenities, with luggage storage and private check-in/check-out on site.

Cooking equipment includes a coffee machine, stovetop, kitchenware, kettle and refrigerator. Bathrooms have towels, toiletries, a bidet and bath or shower. Private on-site parking is paid and requires reservation, while pets are allowed with possible charges. Upper floors are accessible by stairs only, and daily housekeeping, laundry, ironing service and a minimarket are available.

La Terrazza da Ernestina is in Borgo Giannotti, a residential quarter on the north side of Lucca, about 1 km from the historic centre. Shops and restaurants serve the neighbourhood, with Al Borgo 100 m away. Parco delle Mura Urbane is 300 m from the apartment, while Porta dei Borghi is 500 m away and gives access to the old-town streets. Borgo Giannotti sits beyond the central streets, with neighbourhood services close at hand.

Lucca Train Station is 1.5 km from the apartment; from there, the final stretch north to Borgo Giannotti can be covered on foot or by taxi. A private parking space is available on site, but it is paid and must be reserved in advance. If arriving by car, arrange the parking space before setting out rather than relying on walk-in availability. Check-in is between 14:30 and 21:30, and the property asks you to send your expected arrival time beforehand.

From Porta dei Borghi, continue into the historic centre for Basilica di San Frediano (600 m) and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro (650 m), whose curved layout follows the Roman amphitheatre. Guinigi Tower is 850 m away, while Giardino di Palazzo Pfanner is 650 m away. The tower is known for the trees on its summit, and Palazzo Pfanner’s garden is a historic garden to visit alongside the city’s churches and squares. These sights suit a walk that combines architecture with time outdoors.
