Location & what to see

Al Cardinale Rooms & Studios enjoys a prime location right in the historic centre of Lucca, inside the pedestrian restricted traffic zone (ZTL). The property faces between Via Roma and Corte Dell’Angelo, just thirty metres from Palazzo Pretorio and Palazzo Cenami. This central location allows guests to explore all of Lucca’s artistic heritage entirely on foot among medieval streets and historic shops.

The main city attractions are located within a very short distance: Piazza Napoleone and the Ducal Palace are two hundred metres away, while the famous Guinigi Tower, with its centuries-old holm oaks on top, is just three hundred and fifty metres away on foot. The characteristic Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, built on the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheatre, can also be reached in just a five-minute walk. Lucca Railway Station is approximately five hundred and eighty metres away, providing convenient connections to Pisa and Florence.

The surroundings offer numerous opportunities for visits in all seasons: in autumn the city hosts events of international relevance, while in spring and summer guests can walk or cycle along the four kilometres of the historic Walls of Lucca, located three hundred metres away. For guests travelling by car, the property requires prior contact to coordinate ZTL access or the use of public parking lots outside the city walls.
