In a private park, Villa La Principessa is an elegant hotel with a relaxing pool area. In the hills around Lucca, it has a Tuscan restaurant and traditionally-furnished rooms. This 13th-century manor house was once the home of the Duke of Lucca. Rooms include air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a minibar, while some have wood-beam ceilings and luxurious wallpaper. Attentive staff provides an international buffet breakfast each morning, served on the terrace when the weather's nice. Guests can enjoy discounted rates at partner restaurants nearby. La Principessa is 3 miles from the center of Lucca. Pisa is a 20-minute drive away, and parking is free at the hotel.
