Antica Residenza Dell'Angelo

Antica Residenza Dell'Angelo is a guest house in San Michele, Lucca, set in restored historic apartments beside Piazza San Michele.

The building is a historic Lucchese tower house, and the suites retain features such as wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. Several overlook the city, inner courtyard or local landmarks, with San Michele in Foro and other historic buildings close by.

The accommodation ranges from 30 m² suites to a 70 m² suite with a larger seating area. Rooms have private bathrooms with baths and showers, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and safe storage; suite layouts include a king-size bed, and one also has a sofa bed. Free WiFi is available throughout. The guest house has a Tuscan restaurant, while cafés, bakeries and other restaurants sit around the square. Breakfast is not included and is not served at the property. Check-in uses a self-service system, with arrival instructions sent before you travel; all rooms are upstairs and reached only by stairs.

The accommodation comprises two 30 m² suites and one 70 m² suite in restored historic apartments. Each has a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV; the bathrooms include a bath and a shower, along with a bidet and toiletries. The suites have wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors, and one has a larger seating area than the others. Views vary across the range: one 30 m² suite looks towards the city and inner courtyard, while the other suites have city and landmark views.

The beds also differ between suites. Suite (2 Adults) has an extra-large double bed; one Standard Double Suite combines a king-size bed and a sofa bed, and the 70 m² Standard Double Suite has a king-size bed. The larger suite's floor area and generous seating space distinguish it from both 30 m² options.

Suites combine private bathrooms with a bath or shower, bidet, toiletries, towels and a hairdryer. In-room features also include city views, a kettle, refrigerator, wardrobe, clothes rack and sockets beside the bed. Air conditioning and heating are available, along with a tea and coffee maker; flat-screen TVs and satellite channels provide in-room entertainment. Family rooms and interconnected rooms are available, alongside non-smoking rooms and a non-smoking policy throughout the property.

WiFi is free throughout the guest house. Daily housekeeping, a safety deposit box, key-card access and CCTV in common areas are among the practical provisions. Breakfast is not included and is not served at the guest house, and there is no parking on site.

Antica Residenza Dell'Angelo is in San Michele, among the lanes of Lucca's historic pedestrian centre, in a restored Lucchese tower house on Via Beccheria. Piazza San Michele is the defining nearby square; San Michele in Foro is 50 m away, and Chiesa di San Giusto is also 50 m away. Cafés, bakeries and restaurants stand just outside the property and around the piazza. Original architectural details remain in the restored apartments, including wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The guest house occupies the second floor, and all rooms are reached by stairs; there is no lift.

Lucca Train Station is 600 m away, with the final stretch through the historic centre on foot. No parking is available at the guest house; public parking is outside the city walls, about a 5–10 minute walk away. Since the property is inside the historic pedestrian centre, drivers should contact the guest house about access arrangements before driving in. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:00, using a self-service system, and detailed arrival instructions are sent ahead of arrival.

From San Michele, Museo-casa natale di Giacomo Puccini is 150 m away; Palazzo Ducale and Piazza Napoleone are each 200 m away. Guinigi Tower and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro are both 400 m away. The Puccini museum focuses on the composer's life, while Palazzo Ducale and Piazza Napoleone mark Lucca's civic centre. Guinigi Tower is a medieval landmark, and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro follows the outline of the Roman amphitheatre. These sites offer a close look at the city's music, civic history and architecture.
