Great value
Great location and a very comfortable room for three adults for one night. Very helpful staff and great facilities. Free tea/coffee was available in the dining room until 6 pm. The continental breakfast was very good.

This is an excellent place. Near the train station and easy access to the town. The room is spacious and very clean. AC worked great. The breakfast is very healthy. The only negative was the check in. When I arrived the building was locked and nobody answered the bell. I waited almost 20 minutes before being let in.

STAY HERE!
Highest rating. This B&B had such friendly and helpful staff, CLEAN rooms and comfy beds. The room we stayed in had SO MUCH room! We had two queen beds and the largest bathroom I’ve seen in Italy. And everything was very clean, as well as cleaned daily when you left. The breakfast in the morning had fresh fruit, pastries, yogurt, and a coffee machine. The coffee wasn’t amazing but that’s the only thing I can say that wasn’t great about this spot. Highly recommend staying here. The WiFi is great, smart tv and the AC worked perfectly. Everywhere we wanted to go was close, be that bike rentals, food, sight seeing, etc. you should stay here!

Not the best.
We paid over $300 for the room. Well over twice amount for a hotel room outside of the walls. We expected a lot better facilities. We now wish we would have stayed outside the walls of Lucca. The room was rather plain and the flooring was standard generic house tile. The size of the room felt small. The room was not fully furnished with towels. We thought that the towels were behind the door. We did get a shower floor mat which we used so we could get dressed. I would not pay over 100 euros per night here. The breakfast was a standard Italian breakfast, but I caution about the freshness of the items. I don’t like posting bad reviews. But this place needs improvements and a price reduction.

We spent one night at Il Seminario and it was perfect! Location is great, staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean with working AC! Much appreciated for a hot summer day in July! I would come back and stay at this B&B again!

Fantastic place in Lucca
This is a wonderful Bed and Breakfast that is inside the city wall and a 10 minute walk to the train station. The staff is extremely helpful in giving suggestions on places to eat and things to do. We took a train one day to Pisa. They leave about every 30 minutes and we got off at the small station in Pisa just before the Central Station. This lets you off 3 blocks from the Leaning Tower and is much more convientent than the main station. The lady at the desk at the bed and breakfast recommended Osteria San Giorgio to eat dinner at and what a great place. We split a 800 gram steak Florentine which was cooked to perfection and we liked it so much that we returned 3 other nights during our 5 days in Lucca. The room, bed and pillows were very comfortable. They open up the breakfast room every day at 2 pm for coffee, tea and hot chocolate and rolls. We will definitely come back here if we return to Lucca.

Perfect Bed and Breakfast in Lucca Italy
This place is amazing. The staff is very helpful and they all speak very good English. The location is perfect, inside the city wall and in a very charming location. We have walked to everything. It is only a 10 minute walk to the RR station. The breakfast is excellent and every afternoon between 2PM and 4PM they offer coffee, hot chocolate and pastries in the breakfast room -- a nice touch! Our room was quite large and the bathroom very nice. Everything spotlessly clean and in a very quiet area. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Lucca.

Terrific location inside walled city and easy walk from train station. Room was generously sized, bed was comfortable, and bathroom was clean with all amenities. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful. Wish we'd planned a longer visit to Lucca!

Only had 48 hours in Lucca, so we really appreciated Il Seminario's location. Walking distance of the railway station (8 mins) and well placed for exploring Lucca, i.e inside the walls. Lovely helpful staff, and the place is comfortable and spotless. I'd certaintly go back , and stay longer.

Lucca-Best place to Stay-with car!
Staff was very courteous and caring. Room was large and comfortable AND quiet! The neighborhood was very quiet as well. A/C worked well and the shower was better than at home. Breakfast was good and staff was very helpful with coffee and extras. Also helped plan our daily visits. Parking if your are inside the walls of Lucca is a must and they provided a secure location. Easy access in and out of the walled city. You do not want to drive inside the walls of Lucca! Would recommend this hotel to my friends and we will stay again.
