Great location but you earn with the steps up to the 3rd floor. The building and rooms are charming if you are willing to trade convenience and modern for character and location, as well as a fantastic price. The host is warm and helpful without being intrusive so it really feels like your own flat. Definitely ask for recommendations for restaurants as Sylvia has great knowledge and won't steer you wrong. This is a great no frills budget option that keeps you in the center of everything! If you travel for the adventure and not to luxuriate in a fancy (expensive) hotel then this is a great place.

We enjoyed our one night stay in B&B Eveline, Lucca. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, overlooking the clock tower. Silvia made us very welcome and helped with booking a restaurant for that evening. Breakfast was a buffet of sweet and savoury choices plus coffee. The B&B was in a great location for exploring the town.

Superb position seconds from the main street down a quiet alley. Some street noise at night so rooms at the back would be quieter. Shabby chic decor so not for fussy contemporary minimalists. Marvelous breakfast on terrace with view of one of Luccas towers across the roof tops. 7 flights of stairs and no lifts so good for fitness!

Difficile de donner une mauvaise note après avoir séjourné dans ce B&B. L’accueil est chaleureux et attentionné. L'endroit est constitué de 6 chambres et de 3 salles de bain avec un grand salon et une salle à manger. A l'arrivée notre chambre nous attendait avec les serviettes soigneusement pliées et enrubannées ainsi qu'un beau savon. Le logement est silencieux bien qùen hyper centre avec un petit déjeuner différent tout les jours. Possibilité de le prendre sur le balcon avec une belle vue sur Lucques. Un petit bijou de Toscane!

Die Lage des B&B war sehr gut - gleich mitten in der autofreien Altstadtzone. Zum kostenfreien Parkplatz außerhalb der Stadtmauer waren es circa 15 Gehminuten. Die Vermieterrin war sehr freundlich und bemüht; das Frühstück schön angerichtet und ausreichend und der Blick beim Frühstück vom Balkon über die Dächer von Lucca fantastisch. Die drei Toiletten mit Dusche am Gang waren stets sauber und gepflegt. Die Wohnung befand sich im 3. Stock eines historischen Gebäudes ohne Aufzug. Es hat uns dort sehr gefallen und wir können es weiterempfehlen.

A very pleasant discovery! Wonderful Lucca and the B&B Evelina is absolutely recommended for its location, tranquility, the kindness of the manager, and the serenity that is felt throughout the stay. Considering the 'covid period', nothing more could be desired, not least the tranquility of cleanliness and sanitization of the premises and the attention given.

The location of the B&B Evelina is excellent. Unfortunately, for the rest, we found it poorly maintained and we encountered several inconveniences. Apart from the lack of cleanliness, especially in the bathrooms, we had issues with the locks of one of our rooms and especially with the main door lock which was always difficult to open; one evening we even had to ring the neighbors to have it opened. In one of our rooms, the radiator was not working and it was very cold. However, the guy who served us breakfast in the morning was very kind, but we never saw the manager.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Philipa, Grazie comunque per la recensione per la quale resto attonita. Procediamo per ordine. Il mio b&b si è sempre contraddistinto per la pulizia e l’accuratezza nei dettagli, amo il mio lavoro e i miei ospiti. Mi sorprende il voto 4 che avete dato alla colazione visto il quantitativo di cibo che avete mangiato ogni mattina. Per la serratura anche il ragazzo è sceso a farvi vedere che funzionava, infatti nessun’ospite ha avuto problemi. Che avreste avuto freddo lo avevate deciso già alla prenotazione viste le telefonate che mi avete fatto. Il motivo della mia assenza è stato di carattere personale molto grave, potevate chiedermelo in uno dei vostri messaggi a cui ho risposto tempestivamente, prima di scrivere a caso, motivo per cui ho chiesto aiuto ad un amico. Mi dispiace molto abbiate maltrattato il mio impegno, la mia serietà e l’amore che ho per il mio lavoro, riconosciuto da tutti i miei ospiti. Peccato! Grazie comunque per la visita e buon proseguimento.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura nella camera blu tripla, è stato molto piacevole per il silenzio notturno pur essendo nella via principale, la stanza è fornita di tutto, l'arredamento in ogni suo ambiente ti riporta piacevolmente indietro nel tempo. Ottima l'accoglienza di Silvia, molto attenta e disponibile. La soluzione della colazione in terrazza ti fa godere di una bella prospettiva sui tetti di Lucca sui quali si staglia la torre delle ore. Un unico suggerimento forse potrebbe essere abbinare il bagno ad uso esclusivo con uno più vicino alla camera in uso. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura a chiunque voglia godere delle bellezze di Lucca sia di giorno che di notte.

Prezzo alto per un servizio modesto. Pulizia scarsa. Struttura? Una camera e bagno in comune. La cucina è riservata al personale. Nessuna climatizzazione. Devi dormire con le finestre aperte per cui vieni svegliato dalla pulizia delle strade. Unico vantaggio: la centralità! A 20 mt da via Fillungo. Colazione piuttosto standard: frutta gelata da frigo, merendine confezionate, torta Cammeo, se va bene. The star. Cortesia formale. Una delle ragazze non capisce l'italiano.

Siamo rimasti molto contenti dell'ospitalità di Silvia, gestore del B&B, tra l'altro bravissima nel preparare ottime colazioni (arricchite con torte e dolcetti appena sfornati). La nostra camera era molto spaziosa, ben arredata (con mobili d'epoca) e, soprattutto, molto pulita. Il bagno, situato in un corridoio vicino alla camera, è piccolo ma carino e funzionale. Il B&B è situato all'ultimo piano di un bel palazzo del 1800, privo di ascensore, quindi non consigliato a chi ha problemi di mobilità. La posizione della struttura è ottimale invece per chi volesse perdersi fra le viuzze di Lucca. Il palazzo è infatti situato in una laterale di Via Fillungo, arteria principale della città (con bellissimi negozi e botteghe artigianali) e a pochi passi dalla Piazza Anfiteatro e dalle principali piazze e attrazioni turistiche/culturali di Lucca. Abbiamo avuto invece problemi con il posteggio dell'auto, in quanto i parcheggi disponibili per non residenti (tutti a pagamento) distano parecchio dal B&B (il più vicino è a quasi un km). Nel caso però ci si voglia avvicinare al B&B con l'auto, Silvia può provvedere alla richiesta di un permesso d'entrata provvisoria per il carico/scarico delle valigie. Di Silvia abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la disponibilità nei nostri confronti (ha consentito di portare in camera il nostro cane, ci ha fornito di ombrelli..) e la cordialità verso i tanti ospiti che in quel momento alloggiavano al B&B.
