Das Eigentum — Casa Filipi
Casa Filipi occupies a 19th-century townhouse a short walk from Lucca’s walls, offering eight simple, clean rooms with high ceilings and original terrazzo floors. The lobby feels like a well-kept family home: polished wood, a small bar, and a helpful owner who hands you a local map. It suits independent travellers who want decent, no-fuss accommodation near the historic centre without paying for frills. Breakfast is a self-service buffet in a bright front room—coffee, pastries, cereal.
Chroniken von Lucca
Lucca was founded by the Etruscans around 200 BCE and later became a Roman colony, whose grid-like street pattern still shapes the centro storico. The city’s most visible legacy is its ring of intact Renaissance walls, built between 1504 and 1645, now a broad pedestrian promenade lined with plane trees. During the Middle Ages it thrived as a silk-trading centre and remained an independent republic until Napoleon handed it to Elisa Baciocchi in 1805. Today it’s known for its 44 churches (including the Duomo di San Martino) and as the birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini. Contemporary Lucca lives off tourism, small manufacturing, and an annual comics festival (Lucca Comics & Games) that draws over 200,000 visitors each autumn.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Lucca-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September: daytime highs in the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, low rain risk, and the tourist swell has yet to peak or has already eased. Lucca is walkable without overheating.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: hotel rates can double, especially near the walls. The heat is real—often 30–35°C. Crowds peak in August when Italians holiday. The Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago (June–August) and Lucca Summer Festival (big-name concerts in July) draw extra visitors.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October: cooler (15–20°C), cheaper rooms, fewer crowds. April can be showery; October is still pleasant but days shorten. Good for wall walking and museum visits without queues.
Wetter & Verpackung
Summer in Lucca can feel muggy despite the heat, because the walled city traps humidity. Pack a light cotton cardigan or wrap for evenings, as churches enforce dress codes (shoulders and knees covered).
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Lucca
- Lucca’s ZTL (limited traffic zone) is strictly enforced inside the walls; your host should provide a temporary pass if you arrive by car, but you’ll park outside the walls anyway. Automated cameras fine violators instantly.
- Several new wine bars and artisan gelato shops opened along Via Fillungo and Piazza San Frediano in 2024–2025; ask locally for current favourites—places are likely to close after one season.
- The main public car park is the Parcheggio Carducci (€2–3/hour, 10-min walk to the hotel). Book a spot if arriving in July: spaces fill by late morning.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Filipi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room at the back of the first floor — away from Via degli Asili. The street is a secondary road but still carries local traffic noise, especially during daytime. The first floor is the only floor, so pick a rear-facing room if possible.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing Via degli Asili. They will get the bulk of street noise from cars, scooters, and pedestrians. Also avoid rooms directly above the entrance or stairwell, as you'll hear guests coming and going.
Best views
Limited — you're on a street in central Lucca. Rear-facing rooms likely overlook a courtyard or back courtyard, which is preferable. Front rooms face Via degli Asili, a narrow street with old buildings opposite.
Quietest floors
First floor only — so no real choice. But rear-facing rooms on this floor are the quietest option.
🔊 Noise notes
Via degli Asili is a residential street but carries local traffic and pedestrian chatter, especially in evenings and mornings. No nightclub or bar strip nearby, but the street is not silent. The lack of a lift means you'll hear luggage being dragged up stairs.
Insider tips
1. Park at Parcheggio Carducci (€12 for 24h) — it's a short walk and cheaper than most central options. 2. Ask for a rear-facing room during booking — they're quieter and likely darker for sleeping, as Lucca's street lights aren't an issue in back rooms.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Eat away from Piazza dell'Anfiteatro for lower prices; buy food for picnic from supermarkets; fill up water bottles at public fountains (nasoni) for free.

Your arrival at Casa Filipi
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Find train tickets →Hotel Le Giraffe, Lucca → Lucca Porta Elisa (city centre)
💡 Bus stop is 50m from the hotel, corner of Via Romana & Via delle Ville. Buy tickets at the tabacchi on Via Fillungo (€1.50 each, 90-min validity). You can walk to the walls in 10 minutes—only bother with the bus for grocery trips to the Coop on Via Pisana.
Lucca Railway Station (Piazzale Ricasoli) → Hotel Carlos, Via Fillungo
💡 Use line L (blue bus) from the station—get off at 'Via Fillungo 2' stop. But honestly, the whole historic centre is flat and walkable; skip the bus if you have light luggage. Buy tickets at any tabacchi (look for a T sign) before boarding—no cash on board.
Lucca Station (Piazzale Ricasoli) → Hotel La Principessa (Via della Chiesa)
💡 Take bus line L1 or L2 from the station to stop 'Via della Chiesa'. Walk 3 mins to hotel. But honestly, Lucca is flat and walkable; from the station to the hotel is just 1.2 km, so skip the bus unless you're hauling heavy luggage.
Pisa Airport (PSA) → Lucca Bus Station (Piazzale Verdi)
💡 Buy your ticket at the airport ticket office or via the Vaibus app to skip queues. Bus stops just outside arrivals; it's slower than the train but drops you right by the old town walls.
Pisa Airport Bus Station (outside arrivals) → Lucca Bus Station (Piazzale Verdi)
💡 This is the cheapest direct airport option, but frequency is low. Check the timetable at vaibus.com in advance—miss one and you wait two hours. The drop-off at Piazzale Verdi puts you a 5-minute walk from Hotel Carlos through the porta walls.
Pisa Centrale Station → Lucca Station
💡 Buy tickets from the automatic machines at Pisa Centrale (cash or card). Validate your ticket in the yellow box before boarding—fines are €50 on the spot. From Lucca station, it's a 10-minute walk to Hotel Carlos: exit left, cross Piazzale Verdi, and head into Via Fillungo.
Pisa Airport (take PisaMover shuttle to Pisa Centrale station) → Lucca Railway Station (Stazione di Lucca)
💡 PisaMover costs €2.70 and runs every 5 minutes. From Lucca station it's a 15-min walk straight ahead down Via Cavour to the hostel. Cheapest option if you're not in a rush.
Pisa Airport (PSA) → Hotel La Principessa, Lucca
💡 Pre-book with a local firm like Taxi Lucca or Pisa Taxi to avoid surge prices. The hotel can arrange this for you too.
Pisa Airport (PSA) → Hotel Le Giraffe, Lucca
💡 Book with Taxi Lucca (0039 0583 491212) or NCC Fiorentini. They track flights and cost less than hailing at the airport. The hotel's small courtyard drop-off saves walking with bags.
Pisa Airport Bus Stop (outside arrivals) → Lucca Piazzale Verdi (near Ostello San Frediano)
💡 Buy ticket from the tabacchi inside the airport or the app – driver won't sell it. Get off at Verdi, then it's a 5-min walk to the hostel via Via Fillungo.
Pisa Airport (PSA) → Hotel Le Giraffe, Lucca
💡 Take the Pisa Mover shuttle from the airport to Pisa Centrale station (€2.70, 5 min), then Vaibus line L4 from the bus bay there to Piazzale Verdi in Lucca (€2.80, 50 min). Walk 100m to the hotel. Avoid the local trains—they’re slower and more expensive.
Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei, PSA) → Ostello San Frediano, Lucca
💡 Fixed rate of €50 to Lucca city centre – confirm with driver before setting off. No extra charge for luggage.

Top-Attraktionen in Lucca
💡 Check for free organ recitals Saturday afternoons. The Pisan-style exterior is best seen in morning light.
💡 Avoid the overpriced cafés in the square. Instead, grab a panino from Alimentari Puccini one street away and eat it on the steps near the southern edge.
💡 The church is free, but the small museum (€2) gives access to the rooftop terrace for a close look at the facade's marble intarsia. Visit early to avoid tour groups.
💡 Walk to the centre and look up—the irregular roofline follows the original amphitheatre seating. Free to enter, but no seating inside; grab a coffee at Caffè di Simo for a view.
💡 The free section covers the main church. Pay €3 for the treasury and sacristy to see the gorgeous wooden choir stalls and 14th-century frescoes.
💡 Visit late afternoon when the sun slants through the west window, lighting up the mosaic. Free entry, but check for occasional concerts (€5–€10) in the crypt.
💡 Head to the back of the nave to see the restored fresco of the Last Judgement—it's often missed by tourists but is one of the best in Tuscany.
💡 Free entry on the first Sunday of the month. Otherwise, it's €4, but if you're on a budget, the free public park on the walls (Parco delle Mura) is just as green and costs nothing.
