I booked a last minute overnight stay in Lucca for my wife and I during our family holiday in Tuscany (the children stayed with their grandparents). We found this wonderful bed and breakfast on TripAdvisor, and it didn't disappoint. It's perfectly located in the centre of the old town within easy reach of all the sites, and it provides that wonderful balance between old world charm and modern amenities and service. ||||We arrived early evening, and drove straight into the old town. Apparently you're not allowed to do that without permission, but as soon as we arrived at the hotel, our host Daniella arranged permission for us. So no Italy jail this time! She also arranged parking for us in the internal courtyard of the building for only €15 - a very good arrangement in Lucca.||||Our bedroom was quite small but nicely decorated, and it came with a beautiful large bathroom. We didn't have a dinner reservation (unwise in Lucca on a Saturday night). Daniella tried several places but they were all booked. She then gave us some recommendations to go and look at, and we found this amazing place called Osteria dal Manzo, and had a lovely dinner.||||Breakfast in the morning was simple but excellent - freshly baked pastries, including these incredible wholemeal croissants with apple inside, freshly cooked eggs, fruit, and coffee.||||All in all, a great little B&B with excellent service, and a fabulous breakfast. What more could you want?||||Well, we did get more. Upon arriving back to our family about an hours drive from Lucca, we had an email from Daniella saying we'd left one of my wife's sandals in the room. We gave Daniella our address and she promptly posted it back to us. A really nice touch. Well done Relais San Lorenzo.
