Welcome... Willkommen...
Benvenuto...
Da Elisa alle Sette Arti provides a relaxing
holiday in the heart of Lucca, offering comfortable rooms in harmony
with the medieval spirit of the town.
It is a guest house located in the historical centre of the town, in
one of the most beautiful and elegant areas within the sixteenth century
town walls.
As soon as you enter the reception hall you sense the charm of
Lucca's historic homes. All of the rooms show features of the nineteenth
century architecture - delicate decorations are painted on most
chandeliered ceilings, and the floors are decorated with wonderfully
coloured and ornately patterned tiles.
The building is opposite the church of San Micheletto and is just a
two minute walk away from the Orto Botanico (Lucca's botanical garden)
and from the famous town walls.
Da Elisa alle Sette Arti is housed in a large nineteenth century
building - sun lit and decorated with art deco furniture - found in the
eastern part of town.
Lucca is a fascinating town to explore. From Porta Elisa one reaches
the town centre through the charming Piazza San Micheletto - where many
artistic and musical performances take place - along Villa Bottini -
Elisa Baciocchi (Napoleon's sister) residence - down through the
marvellous Porta San Gervasio, a relic of a second wall around the town,
along Via dei Fossi, and farther down to Piazza Santa Maria Bianca.
Accommodation:
Accommodation is offered in single, double and triple rooms, and you
may choose to stay on a bed and breakfast basis should you wish - this
is provided by the bar below the building.
Da Elisa is what is known in Italy as an 'affitacamere' - you are
'renting' the rooms on a nightly basis as opposed to staying in a hotel,
and the rooms are not en-suite. In this case there are three bathrooms,
all with shower, for six bedrooms. The house also has a lovely kitchen
which is shared with the guests of the other rooms.
Parking:
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.
About Lucca:
Lucca is the most wonderful small town!
Its famous walls enclose a place that can be wandered or pedalled
with ease yet remains full of secrets. One of Italy's finest mediaeval
treasures, the centre is relatively unspoilt and is sprinkled with
palazzi, towers and almost countless splendid churches.
The surrounding hills produce some excellent wines and arguably the
finest olive oil anywhere, whilst the beaches and nightlife are but a
small hop away.
On the third Sunday (and preceding Saturday) of each month there is a
large antiques market centred around Piazza Antelminelli and Piazza San
Giusto. On the last Sunday (and preceding Saturday) of the month there
is an arts and crafts market in the same area. Lucca's ‘ordinary'
market is held along Via dei Bacchettoni every Wednesday and Saturday
morning.
In common with many Italian towns, most of Lucca's shops will remain
closed between lunchtime and around four o'clock. Wednesday is a common
closing day and many places in town may well also be closed on Monday
mornings.

Von Elisa Baciocchi, der Schwester Napoleons, bis zu den sieben Künsten.
Da Elisa alle Sette Arti befindet sich im historischen Zentrum von
Lucca. Von vielen wird unser Viertel als das Schönste und Eleganteste
innerhalb der alten Stadtmauern bezeichnet. Es ist der östliche Teil
der Stadt, nahe der Porta Elisa, einem von sechs Stadttoren; von hier
aus erreicht man das Zentrum in einem gemütlichen Spaziergang, der an
der Villa Bottini vorbei führt, durch die Porta San Gervaso aus dem 12.
Jahrhundert an der Via dei Fossi, dem mittelalterlichen Wassergraben und
über die Via Santa Croce, einer der beiden römischen
Lagerhauptstrassen.
Unsere Zimmervermietung befindet sich in der Via Elisa, gegenüber
der Kirche von San Micheletto und nur wenige Schritte vom Botanischen
Garten und den Stadtmauern entfernt.
Sie können bei uns Einzel- Doppel- und Dreibettzimmer buchen. Zusätzlich
ist es möglich in einem benachbarten Cafe, gegen Aufpreis, zu frühstücken.
Da Elisa ist, was man in Italien unter affitacamere kennt, eine
Zimmervermietung. Die Bezahlung für ein Zimmer erfolgt pro Nacht, nicht
wie in einem Hotel pro Person. Alle Zimmer sind ohne Bad. Da Elisa verfügt
über drei Bäder, alle mit Dusche, für sechs Zimmer. Außerdem können
sie mit den anderen Gästen zusammen eine Küche nutzen.
Vor dem Haus ist es möglich auf öffentlichen Parkplätzen zu parken.
Kostenlose Parkplätze befinden sich außerhalb der Stadtmauern ca. 100
Meter vom Haus entfernt. Sie haben bei uns die Möglichkeit Fahrräder
und Rollerblades zu mieten – Der ideale Weg um Lucca zu erforschen!

Da Elisa alle Sette Arti è situata nel centro storico di Lucca, in
una zona da molti considerata la più bella ed elegante di tutta l'area
racchiusa dalle mura. E' la parte est della città, la zona che da Porta
Elisa raggiunge il centro passando per la graziosa Piazza San Micheletto,
sede di numerose manifestazioni artistiche e musicali, per Villa Bottini,
antica residenza di Elisa Baciocchi, sorella di Napoleone Bonaparte, per
la stupenda Porta San Gervasio, traccia della seconda cerchia di mura,
Via dei Fossi, e continuando per Piazza Santa Maria Bianca, più nota
come Piazza della Colonna Mozza. Da Elisa alle Sette Arti è un
appartamento ottocentesco, molto grande e luminoso, arredato in stile.
Tutti gli ambienti sono caratterizzati da elementi architettonici tipici
dell'ottocento. Delicati decori sono presenti su gran parte del soffitto
e si scorgono passando da Via Elisa; meritano una particolare attenzione
gli eleganti disegni e giochi di colore dei pavimenti, o anche i
lampadari che in alcune stanze richiamano le stesse decorazioni del
soffitto.
Da Elisa alle Sette Arti offre una vacanza rilassante nel cuore di
Lucca, in camere confortevoli e arredate in sintonia con lo spirito
medievale della città, con possibilità di escursioni sia a piedi che
in bicicletta; infatti è dotato di un box per il noleggio bici.
