Location & what to see

Villa Catelli is located on Via Jacopo della Quercia, in the immediate north-eastern outskirts of Lucca, in a quiet residential area just steps from the famous Renaissance walls. The property is situated just 300 metres from Porta San Jacopo and Baluardo San Pietro, allowing guests to step through the city walls and enter the heart of the historic centre within a five-minute walk.

Lucca Central Station is approximately 1.6 km away and easily reached by bus or taxi, while guests travelling by car benefit from quick access from the state highways. Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport is located around 19 km away, making the villa an ideal base for air travellers as well. In the surroundings, several traditional bars and restaurants are situated within 500 metres, such as Pop Caffè and Hong Kong restaurant.
