Appartement Lucio à Lucques

In the heart of Lucca’s historic center, within one of the city’s most fascinating historic palaces dating back to the 1500s and once owned by the Arnolfini family, we present an apartment of great charm that captivates at first glance with its loft-style soul and its perfectly balanced blend of history and contemporary design. From the grand entrance hall, access to the property is through the central Italian-style garden, meticulously maintained and scenographic—a true privilege in Lucca’s urban setting. From here, one enters directly into the residence, which is arranged over three levels—ground floor, first floor and basement—for a total of approximately 355 sqm. The ground-floor entrance opens onto a spacious living area developed lengthwise, characterized by double-height ceilings with cross vaults and an elegant open mezzanine that adds movement, light and personality to the entire space. The impact is immediate: an airy, bright environment with impressive proportions and an atmosphere that blends historic charm with a refined, almost modern taste. On this same level are the kitchen, well integrated into the layout of the home, and a first double bedroom with en suite bathroom. Ascending to the upper floor overlooking the living area below, the mezzanine unfolds, hosting a second double bedroom with en suite bathroom, as well as a versatile space that can be used as an additional bedroom, study or relaxation area, depending on needs. The internal views and natural light make this level particularly evocative and dynamic. The property is completed by a basement level, internally connected, where on one side there is an open-plan space that can also serve as an additional bedroom, along with a further bathroom and storage room, and on the other side a large storage area connected to the upper floor via a spiral staircase. This level preserves one of the most fascinating features of the property: the ancient walls of Lucca exposed, a historic discovery of extraordinary value that lends character, authenticity and uniqueness to the residence. From the basement there is direct access to the condominium garage, where a covered parking space is available, not included in the price but purchasable separately for €50,000—an extremely rare and valuable asset in Lucca’s historic center, made even more precious by its direct internal connection to the home. Renovated in the early 1990s with taste and care, this apartment represents an ideal solution for those wishing to experience Lucca’s historic center authentically, without sacrificing essential comforts such as brightness, generous spaces, the garden and the opportunity to acquire a private parking space. A rare property, rich in history, perfect for those seeking something truly special.
