Accommodations

  • Grand Universe Hotel - An Autograph Collection

    Website: granduniverselucca.com

    We recommend staying at the Grand Universe Hotel if you don’t want to rent a car. The city is walkable and only an 8-minute cab ride from the wedding venue.

    The Grand Universe Hotel overlooks two of the city’s central squares, Piazza del Giglio and Piazza Napoleone, a short walk from restaurants, cafés and boutiques. It has a rich history, from serving as a glass-blowing workshop to becoming the noble residence of an aristocratic family. There’s a cellar for wine and olive oil tastings, a gym and a convivial Symphony Lounge with a grand piano where you can take a drink or cup of tea and read a book under the decadent vaulted ceilings.

  • Tenuta di Tramonte

    Belgian couple Lorenzo and Laurence decided to leave the city life behind and move to the countryside among the hills of Lucca. Villa Trenta, one of the two villas on the Tramonte Estate, was built over five centuries ago and has belonged to Lorenzo’s family for four generations. It still shines in its antique grandeur, and is now available to rent with its own private pool (the property sleeps 24). There is a chef onsite to prepare lunches and dinners upon request.

  • Arancera Villa Grabau

    Website: aranceravillagrabau.it

    Villa Grabau is a neoclassical estate dating back to the 16th century, set on a nine-hectare botanical park filled with centuries-old trees and rare plants. On the lush grounds sits the old farmhouse, which has been turned into a 12-room villa. Available to rent as a whole or as singular rooms. These rooms overlook the gardens, with the 18-metre saltwater swimming pool and citrus tree grove beyond, framed perfectly by the mountains in the distance. Various services are available, from daily catering to yoga lessons, cooking classes and private tours through the neighboring villages.
