Just five kilometres from Lucca, in the beautiful, sun-drenched Tuscan countryside, an elegant, cream-coloured nineteenth-century villa comes into view as you enter the gate. It stands fairly high on a hill, surrounded by a large garden in the typical Lucca Renaissance style, with two flights of steps leading up to the entrance, from either side. A peaceful atmosphere reigns everywhere, a balm for the soul of any traveller.
The pleasant, relaxing atmosphere that guests at Villa Marta so love, is created mainly by the cordial and attentive hospitality offered by Andrea Martinelli and his wife Alessia, who run the hotel. They personally welcome the guests and see to their every need with friendly efficiency, making them feel as if they are staying in a private home rather than a hotel.
Location
Lucca is one of the most pleasant Italian towns to enjoy a nice walk; each street in fact follows the scheme of the roman colony and the historic centre, created by small streets which open to squares, is nestled by five hundred years old city walls. Lucca is not only the hometown of Giacomo Puccini but is also full of churches in Romanic-Pisano style such as the Cathedral dedicated to San Martino which preserve masterpiece as the small octagonal altar of “Volto Santo” , the face of Christ, and the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto made by Jacopo della Quercia.
The main street is Via Fillungo, a nice walk between boutiques, old goldsmiths and nice nightclubs. All buildings of Piazza del Mercato follow the original elliptical outline of the roman amphitheatre.
Rooms
The villa houses 15 extremely comfortable rooms. Two are deluxe, and 3 are superior, where guests receive extra pampering. Great attention is given to detail: radiators and air conditioners are painted the same colour as the walls, there is a minibar and a glass bottle of mineral water in every room. Extra comforts are provided for guests in each room in the form of a desk and 2 armchairs.
