Anyone who has visited Lucca, located in the heart of Tuscany, knows it’s a special place. Oozing with history and tradition while pulsing with youth and vitality. It’s just the right mix of old and new, man-made and natural beauty, and excitement and calm. We have fallen in love with Lucca…twice.

Seeing it from the window of our friend Pablo’s beautiful apartment, looking out over the main avenue and to the heart of the city, surely has contributed greatly to this love affair.

His apartment is remarkable in emotion and eccentric in detail, just like its proprietor. It’s housed in a 16th century building on Via Fillungo. Pictures will surely do it more justice than words, so enjoy:
