I really love the charm of this place, my only negative comment is not actually about the place but the people outside at night as they can be loud while they stay in front of the hotel as they enjoy chatting. Hard to sleep at times.

Couldn’t have been better. It was such an amazing building in a wonderful central location. The communal lounge was traditionally decorated and so relaxing. The room was large and relaxing with top quality furnishings, super large comfy bed. Bathroom was great with a nice strong shower. Our host was enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful. We took his advice and went to the Puccini theatre performance and museum. We hope to visit again. Lucca is fabulous and not to be missed.

We had an absolutely fantastic time. Stunning location right in the middle of the historic district. Alice was warm, welcoming, and gave us plenty of recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. Spotless rooms with a stunning style and beautiful blend of historical with modern amenities. We can't wait to return. Grazie mille!

It is a very unique place. Nicely decorated in the ancient/medieval style. Located in a busy area so you can be in the centre of Lucca and taste the atmosphere of the town. Very good contact with owners, you could feel very comfortable.

Memorable stay in historic center of Lucca

Amazing location in the heart of Lucca. The room was beautiful and very characterful making it an unforgetable experience. Because of the central location and the old windows it can get noisy but this didn't bother us. The host was very helpful and gave us some very helpful recommendations.

Place was lovely, staff member Alice was very helpful, good location. Breakfast for 6 euro nice. Small place with 4 rooms in very old but nicely updated house. Only downside was street noise that went on most of night making it hard to sleep. We were there on a Friday- maybe quieter during weekday. You cannot bring a car into that part of Lucca, so you should arrange garage which staff was helpful in doing

We stayed at L’ Antica Bifore for two nights in room Beatrice and it was magical! The room was uniqe and very charming, the location was in the middle of Lucca and could not be better. The hosts Alessandro & Alice were so welcoming and helpful, giving us recommendations for what to see and where to eat in Lucca. This stay exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful city!

This historical property is beautifully kept by Alice and her associates, and Alice was the most gracious host. She made check in a lovely personal experience, making us coffees and giving a map of the city with all her suggestions for food and activities. Suggestions that we took full advantage of and had a wonderful time experiencing. I greatly recommend staying at this beautiful property, it was a delight!

L'Antica Review!!!!

This place was absolutely beautiful, Alessandro and Alice were the best hosts a family could ask for. My wife and I rented the whole place for a week with my adult children and they were absolutely amazed and this place. It is right in the center of Beautiful Lucca, and only ten minute walk to anywhere in the city, and 13 minute walk to the train for day trips. We even got to meet their beautiful 6 month old child who is beautiful. We will be staying there again on our return trips to Italy, this was a first for my wife and myself and can honestly say as hosts other places have a lot to live up to if they want our business, from what places to eat, to special places to see. On a personal Note: Thank You Alessandro and Alice you made our week one of the most amazing. Joe DePasquale.

The L'Antica Bifore was the perfect stay in Lucca. One feels as though they live in Lucca, as the guest house is in the heart of town near everything, through an old door that leads upstairs to the residence. The interior is absolutely beautiful, maintained in a period style with furniture, murals, artwork and every element consistent with an elegant historic residence from the 1200s. The room was comfortable, with stained glass windows, heating and air conditioning, and every detail thought through. Alice and Allessandro are the owners and hosts, and they pay attention to every detail and are attentive to every need. There are so many thoughtful touches and everything is clean and well maintained. I recommend getting the breakfast, as Alice puts together a beautiful box of pastries, juices, fruits and coffee. She also made suggestions for sightseeing, dining, apertivo, and wine tasting, and diligently helped us with reservations. Allessandro manages one of the top restaurants in town and he reserved a table on the piazza one cool night with blankets and overhead heaters making for a comfortable night out. The guest house is in the middle of everything with plenty of shopping and restaurants and food vendors all around. There is free parking outside town, or one can pay for parking inside and walk to the guest house. If driving, I recommend paying to park to unload/load bags nearer to the guest house, and then parking in the free parking outside the city walls.
