La Gemma was great for our quick stay in Lucca. Was easy to find, staff was kind, things were clean. The area is lovely for exploring in and around Lucca.
The staff was wonderful, I wish we could have stayed longer. We had a roll and cool brought up to our room. The rooms were all so cute. We were brought cool drinks when we arrived. Although we wanted to have the free breakfast, due to the train strike we had to leave early. Hopefully we can get back there and enjoy more time with them.
Loved this spot in Lucca. Comfy bed, updated bathroom and lovely breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was able to store my bag after check-out time which gave me more time to explore Lucca. Would definitely stay here again.
Charming, clean, comfortable, great location. Fabulous breakfast offerings. Finding it was tricky because I was depending on my phone map but the host was very helpful when I called with questions and offered to drive with me to park in their very safe gated lot. Really sweet staff. Great stay.
Amazing little find. Felt authentic, the staff were fabulous and couldnt do enough for you.

Well placed B&B
The position of this B&B is great, in the old centre of Lucca, surrounded by great places to visit and good restaurants. The place itself is charming, a little run down but everything worked. There was no toilet paper in my bathroom, which was disappointing. But the breakfast was very good.
I so thoroughly enjoyed my stay at La Gemma di Elena! It is a lovely property situated near the city center- walking distance to everything you might want to see. Around the corner from the Piazza del Anfiteatro.
The property appears to have been someone's flat at one point- and is now divided into several guest rooms and a large entry room where a tasty breakfast is served every morning.
The room was well appointed- complete with a mobile air conditioning unit which was key in late August this year! It was the best night of sleep that I experienced my entire two weeks in Italy! The staff were very kind- and I believe it was one of the owners that carried my luggage downstairs for me when I was leaving.
Highly recommend this little gem if you are traveling to beautiful Lucca! :)
The property was lovely. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Really appreciated the ride provided from the Lucca train station. Only suggestion would be to provide lighting over the bathroom sink to facilitate shaving, etc.
As the name suggests, this place is a gem in Lucca. Well maintained, spacious apartment in a typical historical home. Elegant lady owner Elena and staff do their best to give you a unique experience.
Exceptional service. While we were having a picnic in the courtyard, one of the staff brought us wineglasses, plates and ice without being asked. So nice!
We loved our stay! The one recommendation is to scope out your driving route ahead of time. DO NOT let GPS guide you! We ended up in the wrong area! Other than that, the staff helped us get there once we found our way back! When you park on site, they will set it up so you don’t get fines for driving in the permit zone.
We reserved a room that was on the second floor (in other words, the 3rd floor). We were hoping for a ground floor, but we were advised that was not available. However, we were moved to anothe location, with minimum stairs. We were very grateful!
Underbart ställe med en liten trädgård, trevlig personal, rent o snyggt samt skön säng. Stressig incheckning, hade inte tid att ge all information samt svara på frågor. Kan varmt rekommenderas.
Canere senza fascino al secondo piano senza ascensore che si aprono tutte direttamente nella sala colazioni. Aspetto vecchieggiante e mobili arraffazonati. Parcheggio 10 euro
