Al Porto Di Lucca is a lovely old property that has been tasefully renovated and decorated to combine modern facilities (such as the bathrooms) with the original features and furniture in keeping with the age and style of the house. We stayed in the room Maria Teresa facing the lovely quiet garden with a balcony and wished our weather during our stay had allowed us to make more use of that feature. Our hosts Giovanna & Francesco and staff were very friendly and the breakfast provided was very generous and more than enough to set you up for a day in Lucca and beyond.
Al Porto Di Lucca is in a quiet street just outside of the city walls nearest to the Porta S. Pietro (a five minute walk away using the footbridge over the railway lines). It is very convenient for all of the places you would want to visit. Heading in the other direction takes you to the train station (another five minute walk) where you can use the ramp or stairs, again very convenient. You do not get any noise from the railway station and do not need a taxi to get you to the B&B, it is so close.
We had not visited Lucca before and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Al Porto Di Lucca is an ideal comfortable base to use to visit all of the sites, and I think staying within the walls would have been noisy and more problematic. I would recommend Al Porto Di Lucca to anyone.
