Piazza Santa Maria Tours

Find a spot to sit and watch the world go by at Piazza Santa Maria. If its well-trodden paths could talk, this historic square would have plenty of tales to tell.

This public square is often on the itineraries of travelers to Lucca Historical Center. But Piazza Santa Maria isn't the only drawcard in the area. Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, Guinigi Tower, and Palazzo Pfanner are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

7.8/10 Good! (1,015 reviews)
Room was pleasant but lacked any windows. There was a door that opened to a courtyard for maintenance and power boxes shared with other guests on that floor. Hotel appeared to be recently remodeled and “modern”. Breakfast wasn’t worth it. Staff were helpful and accommodating.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (538 reviews)
The property is gorgeous. The concierge is never around and the staff are not knowledgeable about anything other than dinner reservations. Asking about the Uffizi gallery was a waste of time. For the price, I would have expected a concierge that was available.
