Five stars is only an ambitious dream for this Locanda. Maybe 3 and a half ? No specific facilities for children. Too much room freshener (to cover other odors?). Poor breakfast . WiFi not working very well in the room. 45€ per day for a child bed is fully out of the market (robbery?). Positive remark: clean bed sheets !

A snowstorm on our first day in Italy prevented us reaching our original hotel. We found this gem by chance, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us very welcome. Breakfast was served in our room, we were upgraded to a huge deluxe room, and recommendations for local dinner restaurants proved outstanding. Set in the countryside just outside... More

This is the second time I have stayed at Locanda, and I do like the hotel because it is quiet and out of the central city. Way, way out....and really hard to find. They need a good map on their website. The hotel is an old grand dame, and is showing her age. The furnishings in the public rooms are... More

We stayed at Locanda l'Elisa in July 2012 for one night. We had read the not so positive reviews in advance, but thought we would give the hotel a chance anyway..after all you can always find people who are not happy about something. But the reviews were right I'm afaid. If I was to rate the hotel I would say... More

Nice, cute and charming hotel near Lucca, Italy. However, this hotel does not qualify as a ***** hotel. There is absolutely no element that qualifies for *****: no help with the luggage, no room service, reception was friendly but not particularly useful. Breakfast was meagre and disappointing (bad orange juice, we had to pay for any extra). The hotel would... More

During a recent road trip around Italy, we spend a couple of nights in this hotel, and were quite disappointed. Our room was small - looking on the floor plan it was the smallest in the hotel, which was a shame seeing as the hotel was half empty! The buffet breakfast was meagre (you had to pay extra for ham...

This is a beautiful hotel in what used to be a villa just outside of Lucca. The rooms were all large (they let us see all the available ones and choose our rooms). The service was great and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast service was excellent as well with plenty to choose from. Overall, it was a great... More

My favorite room in all of Italy. Automatically upgraded to the one bedroom apartment style room upon arrival - what a wonderful surprise. I can't tell you how great this room was. It had a very comfortable couch, chair, ottoman, dining room area, separate bedroom area (with very heavy curtains between the rooms, you could close for privacy). The apartment... More
