A very enjoyable stay in this charming accomodation, excellent location (in Italys best kept secret) with a warm welcome and all the local knowledge you will need courtesy of Marta. Simple, friendly, well situated. We loved it. More

Good room and Marta is friendly and accommodating - rooms are basic and breakfast is Italian style (small). It feels like student accommodation with you are left to your own devices but with WiFi and easy access to the whole town what else do you want? More

Fabulous B&B with homely comforts. We were greeted by freshly scented lavender room, clean and air conditioned. Stayed four nights, towels cleaned changed after 2 nights. Freshly baked (home) cake for breakfast & brewed coffee. Great location on main shopping street of Lucca. My wife and i will definitely go back, it was the highlight of 2 weeks in Italy,... More

Very nice authentic, tenement-based B&B , which was clean with comfortable bed. We arrived on a late flight and were fortunate that a fellow traveller agreed to stay up and let us in, otherwise we might have slept rough that night. Not an ideal venue for late arrivals as Marta does not live on premises. Otherwise nice and homely -... More

The strengths of Casa Alba are its central location within the walls of Lucca, and the friendliness of Marta the owner. Decor wise, the communal dining area is quite funky - it reminded me of a student flat and felt really homely. The bedrooms however looked really dated and could have done with freshening up, though they were clean. My... More

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at Casa Alba di Marta in Lucca and loved every minute of it. Lucca is a fantastic little town and provided a nice relaxing reprieve from our whirlwind trip through Italy. Casa Alba is in a great location on Via Fillungo, the main street through Lucca. Walk out the front door of the... More

We stayed at Casa Alba di Marta for 7 nights and it was perfect for us. Our room was very clean and bright, the ensuite bathroom was large, modern and spotless, and the bed was comfortable. Our room and 3 others face the inner courtyard. One room faces Via Fillungo, the main shopping, people watching street in Lucca. It was... More

We were absolutely delighted with this B&B. The communal space is bright and cosy- our room (quiet, facing a back courtyard) was delightful, and in the July heat, the superb whisper-quiet air conditioning was more than welcome!! Marta is extremely welcoming (speaks excellent English) and was more than happy to offer advice, from where to get reasonably priced groceries to... More

We found out about this B&B at the local information center by the train station in Lucca. The manager, Marta, was very friendly and spoke excellent English (a rarity in Italy) as well as French and Italian. Our room was very clean and even had an incense stick and one of those electronic incense/purifiers plugged in. Complete with a cute,... More
