At La Gemma Di Elena, guests consistently praise the central, walkable location inside Lucca’s walls, friendly hands‑on staff, clean and comfortable rooms with air conditioning, and generous breakfasts, with many also appreciating the convenience of on‑site gated parking.
Staff go above and beyond with luggage help, late check-ins, bag storage, and thoughtful touches. Rooms range from quiet, spacious or apartment-style to a bit dated in places, and some are reached via stairs. Some guests found driving and GPS directions into the old town tricky when arriving. Expect a comfortable, characterful B&B stay.

Molto caratteristica e bella, nel cuore delle mura e quindi comoda per visitare la città. Stanza grande e confortevole. molto silenziosa. Letto comodo. Colazione abbondante e attenzione alle intolleranze. Parcheggio a cifra irrisoria sotto la struttura (si occupano loro dell’ingresso in ztl) Se dovessimo tornare soggiorneremo certamente ancora qui

We loved our stay! The one recommendation is to scope out your driving route ahead of time. DO NOT let GPS guide you! We ended up in the wrong area! Other than that, the staff helped us get there once we found our way back! When you park on site, they will set it up so you don’t get fines for driving in the permit zone.

The position of this B&B is great, in the old centre of Lucca, surrounded by great places to visit and good restaurants. The place itself is charming, a little run down but everything worked. There was no toilet paper in my bathroom, which was disappointing. But the breakfast was very good.

I so thoroughly enjoyed my stay at La Gemma di Elena! It is a lovely property situated near the city center- walking distance to everything you might want to see. Around the corner from the Piazza del Anfiteatro. The property appears to have been someone's flat at one point- and is now divided into several guest rooms and a large entry room where a tasty breakfast is served every morning. The room was well appointed- complete with a mobile air conditioning unit which was key in late August this year! It was the best night of sleep that I experienced my entire two weeks in Italy! The staff were very kind- and I believe it was one of the owners that carried my luggage downstairs for me when I was leaving. Highly recommend this little gem if you are traveling to beautiful Lucca! :)

I so thoroughly enjoyed my stay at La Gemma di Elena! It is a lovely property situated near the city center- walking distance to everything you might want to see. Around the corner from the Piazza del Anfiteatro. The property appears to have been someone's flat at one point- and is now divided into several guest rooms and a large entry room where a tasty breakfast is served every morning. The room was well appointed- complete with a mobile air conditioning unit which was key in late August this year! It was the best night of sleep that I experienced my entire two weeks in Italy! The staff were very kind- and I believe it was one of the owners that carried my luggage downstairs for me when I was leaving. Highly recommend this little gem if you are traveling to beautiful Lucca! :)

Molto caratteristica e bella, nel cuore delle mura e quindi comoda per visitare la città. Stanza grande e confortevole. molto silenziosa. Letto comodo. Colazione abbondante e attenzione alle intolleranze. Parcheggio a cifra irrisoria sotto la struttura (si occupano loro dell’ingresso in ztl) Se dovessimo tornare soggiorneremo certamente ancora qui

The position of this B&B is great, in the old centre of Lucca, surrounded by great places to visit and good restaurants. The place itself is charming, a little run down but everything worked. There was no toilet paper in my bathroom, which was disappointing. But the breakfast was very good.

Charming, clean, comfortable, great location. Fabulous breakfast offerings. Finding it was tricky because I was depending on my phone map but the host was very helpful when I called with questions and offered to drive with me to park in their very safe gated lot. Really sweet staff. Great stay.

Loved this spot in Lucca. Comfy bed, updated bathroom and lovely breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was able to store my bag after check-out time which gave me more time to explore Lucca. Would definitely stay here again.

Altes, historisches Gebäude mit sehr viel Charme. Wir haben im Nebengebäude genächtigt. Ein riesiges Appartement, welches mit viel Liebe eingerichtet ist. Das sauberste Zimmer unserer drei Wochen Italien (7 Locations). Sehr netter Kontakt vor Ort. Parkplatz 10 Euro, auf abgeschlossenen Areal mit Scheinwerfer. Morgenessen grosszügig.

The staff was wonderful, I wish we could have stayed longer. We had a roll and cool brought up to our room. The rooms were all so cute. We were brought cool drinks when we arrived. Although we wanted to have the free breakfast, due to the train strike we had to leave early. Hopefully we can get back there and enjoy more time with them.

The property was lovely. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Really appreciated the ride provided from the Lucca train station. Only suggestion would be to provide lighting over the bathroom sink to facilitate shaving, etc.

We reserved a room that was on the second floor (in other words, the 3rd floor). We were hoping for a ground floor, but we were advised that was not available. However, we were moved to anothe location, with minimum stairs. We were very grateful!
