Palazzo Froussard B&B and Living

Eight rooms fill Palazzo Froussard, a restored residence on Via Elisa inside Lucca's Renaissance walls, steps from Porta Elisa and a seven-minute walk to the Anfiteatro Romano piazza. Ideal for couples seeking a quiet base within the walled city rather than a hotel-district stay.

Rooms carry soundproofing against the street below and individual AC units; several open to landmark views over the old town's terracotta rooflines. A shared lounge doubles as a game room, and coffee machines are stocked in-room rather than limited to a communal breakfast area.

Bicycles reach the ramparts path in minutes, the city's flattest and most direct route for exploring on two wheels.
