B&BIG LUCCA

Accommodation comfortable

But far out but not too bad

Property spotless with attention to details in every aspect. Great location with bars nearby and grocery shops. A 10 minutes short walk to the walled town

We weren't offered any breakfast...

Being offered breakfast or having suggestions of where to get some.

My first-floor room was a mix of old and new, which was fine, if a little dark (I couldn't open all the shutters, probably my lack of strength, and a good thing in summer). The ensuite was very nice, and the garden was lovely. The downstairs room had a few food items, plus microwave, fridge-freezer, etc. There is a Lidle supermarket nearby, and some bars, etc., so you can get your own breakfast. I found the address by turning right out of the station, and keeping along the main road until I came to Via dei Pubblici (with a bar on the corner). Turn right into that road, and veer to the right. Can't comment on staff, as I didn't see any during my stay, apart from a visiting maid each morning.

I had to wait outside for a long time, as I didn't realise I needed internet access in advance to get an entry code. Apparently, the owner, and also booking.com, had been trying to contact me while I was travelling. Eventually, I bought a text pack, and was then able to communicate with the owner. So it would be helpful if Booking.com could make clear this requirement on the location's entry page.
