La Fornace del Sole

We spent two very pleasant nights in the Lucca area, and the price felt very reasonable for what we got. Breakfast was a very nice buffet, and we received a warm welcome. The house sits in a quiet spot within a beautifully maintained garden, with olive trees and cypresses in classic Tuscan style. Our bedroom was large and lovely, with a superb marble bathroom, comfortable bedding, and the whole place was extremely clean. Perfect.

We felt at home and relaxed right away. The hostess was kind, and we really liked the atmosphere, the garden, the tidy house, and how centrally placed it is for exploring the region. Our rooms were nicely furnished and decorated. Breakfast included several kinds of croissants, fresh bread, vegetables, ham, cheese, fruit, and water. We could take the fruit and water along when heading out for the day.

The woman who runs the place was so friendly and kind. She even let me keep my motorcycle indoors, away from the humidity, and pointed me to a great nearby restaurant, the Saloon. I’ll be back. The property is charming and peaceful, and it’s beautifully cared for both inside and out. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Highly recommended.

We stayed in a roomy, comfortable triple room with its own bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, with both sweet and savory choices, and private parking is available on site. The B&B is set in a large garden among olive trees, just a few kilometers from Lucca, so it’s convenient for visiting. Gabriela looked after us and was always kind and attentive. My family and I would gladly return.
