The room was lovely and the one member of staff I met very helpful. The air-conditioning was adequate. It was relatively easy to gain access without any staff present via mobile phone/email communication.
The breakfast was not worth bothering with, pod coffee and croissants wrapped in plastic. Given the prices, I thought this was problematic.

The biggest problem with this property is that we booked it from the Expedia website listing as a Hotel. It is not a hotel. It is an air bnb. It should be listed on Vrbo, not Expedia. It is a perfectly fine air bnb type accommodation. However, if you are expecting a hotel with a staff to man a front desk, bell service, or an elevator, forget it. If one stays on the top floors, dragging one’s luggage up the stone steps is difficult. The air conditioning is not really adequate. If you want an air bnb, this is a fine choice. If you want a hotel look elsewhere. The Expedia listing for this property should be removed and placed on Vrbo.

We loved this historic and quirky hotel. The room and bath were spotless and comfortable, and the bed and linens were high-quality.
We didn't like the stairs (there was no elevator), but it was only two floors. We had help with our bags at checkout.
The location is perfect in a little alleyway connecting two main streets. We would stay here again.

The location of this property is amazing, although a little difficult to find if you're using Google Maps. As its on the opposite side and end of the lane than shown.

My host for the stay, Franca, has been lovely and offered some great suggestions of things to see/do on arrival.

The rooms themselves are beautifully decorated, however I found the bedding and pillows particularly uncomfortable. Also, the rooms are not soundproof at all, which is understandable given the age of the building. Just something to be aware of. Perhaps bring some earplugs to sleep in.

Overall a pleasant stay and I would recommend.

Cozy, romantic stay in a real piece of history!

The room features and furnishings were beautiful and truly unique! I loved the exposed brick, wooden beams, and antique furniture. The frescoes are very colorful and definitely added to the atmosphere. Felt very welcomed by Franca and we really enjoyed our morning cappuccinos and breakfast. After hours check in was extremely easy and helpful since we arrived late. Location was convenient for exploring Lucca and was only 10 mins walk from train station. I hope to stay here again in the future, I'd love to see what the other rooms look like!

\"A little Gem\"

We arrived in Lucca, which is a beautiful Tuscan town with narrow streets and cobbled roads, and at first struggled to find our hotel. That is because it isn't a normal hotel and is a hidden gem in the hustle and bustle of this wonderful town.
You enter through a heavy wooden door with a small name plaque marking the entrance, then head up three flights of stairs that are beautifully decorated.
Franca makes you very welcome and and shows you to your room. The rooms are compact but beautiful, and the bathroom is small, but adequate and befitting of a small town setting. There is no street noise and the air conditioning works a treat. This hotel is in the centre of town and you literally walk out of the door round a corner and are surrounded by shops and restaurants. A perfect get away to enjoy Lucca and Tuscanny

lovely b&b in heart of Lucca

Stayed a whole week here, located in the heart of Lucca's walled city. It's a B&B with lots of character and a helpful and attentive host. Small but tasty breakfast selection of cereals, pastries, yogurt, etc. Room was clean and comfortable, good bed and linens, A/C, and good water pressure. Wifi went in and out occasionally, was my only mild complaint. Loved my stay and would definitely be back.

Loveliest B&B in Lucca, if not Italy

Outstanding comfortable place to stay. In the absolute centre of Lucca which has to be one of the loveliest places in Italy. The place is a bit tricky to get to by car, especially without a map, but just call Franca when you get stuck. Everything is within a short walk, including exceptional restaurants -take Franca’s suggestions. Beautiful rooms in an ancient, historic wonderfully renovated building. Very special & ample breakfasts. Be prepared to carry bags up a short flight of stairs. We loved our stay

Comfortable b and b in town centre

Comfortable room with all expected amenities. Centuries old house sympathetically turned into B and B accommodation with individual room decoration. Lack of natural light a real drawback for us but unavoidable with old Lucca's very tall buildings and narrow streets.
Our room was quiet, overlooking an inner courtyard.
Good continental breakfast with local produce. Helpful owner, Franca, easy to contact.

The Perfect B&B

I was attracted to this B&B by its name and the photos of the rooms that I saw on the Expedia Website; it was the one B&B/hotel in Lucca that really stood out. I certainly made the right decision, for this B&B is truly beautiful and we were made extremely welcome. Franca, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. Her English is good (although she does not think so), which was an advantage for us, as Italian is not our strong point. I would highly recommend Antica Corte dei Principi, and would not stay at another B&B/hotel in Lucca, having found such a perfect one.

Wonderful location. Staff not flexible w/ checkin

Hotel has a 2 hour check in from 2-4. Otherwise you must get a code to let yourself in and you are on your own until breakfast the next day. If we knew that when we booked we may not have chosen the hotel as we did not want to be tied to the hotel staffs 2 hour window period to check in
