Da Elisa alle Sette Arti  

Da Elisa alle Sette Arti offers charming accommodation in the heart of Lucca. The Hotel can be found in one of the most beautiful and elegant areas of the city, within the famous historic walls.
The hotel-style accommodation is situated in a large nineteenth century building. Full of sun-light, the charm and style of Da Elisa is immediately apparent on entering the reception hall and is reflected throughout the rooms. The furniture is in Art-Deco style. Chandeliers hang in most of the rooms and ceilings and cornices are delicately decorated. The floors are made with wonderfully coloured and ornately patterned tiles.
Accommodations are offered in single, double, triple and family rooms, and you may choose to stay on a bed and breakfast basis should you wish - breakfast is provided by the bar below the building. On the main property the rooms are not en-suite. In this case there are three bathrooms, all with shower, for six bedrooms. Accommodations with private bathroom are also available in annexe nearby, still in the centre of the town. The Hotel is also provided with a lovely kitchen, to share with the other rooms.
There is public parking downstairs (free parking outside the walls is just 100 metres away), and you are able to hire bikes and rollerblades either by the hour or for a full day - the ideal way to explore Lucca.

Driving Directions: BY CAR: Motorway exit at Lucca; follow the signs for the centre and the railway station (stazione) ; from here, keeping the town walls on the left, take the road around the walls and after the first bend, turn on the left and enter Lucca through the white town gate called "Porta Elisa"; take Via Elisa until number 25, on the right-hand side. BY TRAIN: Those arriving by train can reach us by foot in about ten minutes from the station, or alternatively you may take a taxi. If you come by foot, go straight. Take the pedestrian street (sidewalk) in front of the station. Cross the meadow (park) and go toward the wall. Continue on the path up onto the wall. Once you reach the top of the wall, turn right. Pass the lions on your right (whose manes look a lot like pineapples). Continue along the wall for 5 to 8 minutes. Take the first left, a slanting path down into the inner city. Turn right at the bottom of the slanting path. You will come up to the Botanic garden and see the street sign "Via Micheletto." Turn left on Via Micheletto. This street will curve around the garden to the right until it intersects "Via Elisa." Look across the street for #25 Via Elisa. You've made it! BY BUS: From the bus station in Piazzale Verdi (see the map) go straight down Via San Paolino, cross Piazza San Michele to Via Roma, continue in Via Santa Croce, pass 2 (two) piazzas, go through the old San Gervasio Gate and just a wee bit further down Via Elisa to number 25 on the left size. BY PLANE: Pisa airport is linked to Lucca by railway line. Choose the direction Lucca-Pistoia. It is also possible take a taxi or rent a car from the airport. In this case, follow the green signs for the motorway and follow the directions for Lucca.

Local Area Attractions: Da Elisa is situated within the town walls, on the eastern side, opposite the church of San Micheletto and within a stone’s-throw of the promenade walls, with wide paths and wooded areas to explore by foot or bicycle. Lucca’s botanical garden (Orto Botanico), a wonderful oasis of peace and tranquillity, is just a two-minute walk away. Close by are Porta Elisa, and Piazza San Micheletto where many artistic and musical performances take place. Villa Bottini, where Napoleon’s sister Elisa Baciocchi lived, is also nearby, together with the wonderfully renovated Porta San Gervasio, a relic of the second wall around the city.
