My family and I stayed at La Romea in October of 2005.
This B&B in a historical building(no elevator) is smack dab in the middle of the beautiful walled city of Lucca, Italy. The owners, Guilio & Gaia are the sweetest couple we encountered in Italy, and we were travelling for a month there. They were so helpful with anything you wanted or needed. They had great tips for things to see and places to eat. We asked for extra pillows and they were piled up on our bed when we returned from sightseeing. We stayed in the Blue Suite, and it was gorgeous with a double bed and a single for our 18 year old son. The spa bathroom was my favorite in Italy. The views from the large windows was great. They serve, with the help of Gaia's mom, a nice breakfast in the communal family room which all the rooms circle around. Mom will make you any kind of eggs you want, while there is a great supply of fruit,yogurt,cereal,sweet cakes,prosciutto,juices and lots of coffee. My son always slept past the 11:00 deadline (longest breakfast hours we had in Italy), so mom would tell us to pile up a plate of everything to put in our room and fridge for sleeping beauty when he awoke. I loved her concern for him. An Italian mom and her son is a special relationship in Italy. Staying here made us feel more like locals than at a hotel. Lucca is a charming city that should be experienced when all the tourists leave, so please spend a few nights in this great walled city.

We visited La Romea in November 2005 and spent a long weekend there. We received a warm welcome from Giulio and Gaia and were made to feel truly at home. We had two rooms - the Suite and the Yellow Room. Both of these rooms were very large and airy with high ceilings, very comfortable and well furnished with a high standard of cleanliness. They did appear a little dark but I think this is simply because the ancient buildings are all so close to each other that it is sometimes difficult for much light to filter through. However, it was no problem at all and there were certainly lots of lights available - even candles around the bath! The sitting room was very large and comfortable and so nice to sit in and have a drink with other guests if you all felt like it. Breakfasts were good - fresh fruit and tomatoes, excellent coffee, fresh bread and pastries. Our hosts did all they could to help, recommending restaurants, walks and places to visit. We very much enjoyed having aperitivos at about 6.30 and found that the bars seemed to vye with each other in supplying the best little canapes to tempt you to drink more! Although all of the restaurants we tried were good, we did find that our favourites tended to be the Osterias where the food was delicious, local and a reasonable price. There was also a wonderful chocolate shop in Via Fillungo with a nice bar and really pleasant staff. Like the previous reviewer, we will definately return to Lucca to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, the Puccini concerts, the excellent food and the charm of La Romea!

I recommend this hotel for: couples and romantics, honeymooners, singles, families with small children, families with teenagers, seniors, tourists My visit was for: out-of-town getaway Would I stay at this location again: absolutely!
We stayed at La Romea for a long weekend and found the service and food particularily excellent. The owners continually went out of their way to make us feel welcome and suggest places to visit and favourite restaurants to eat. The best things to do in Lucca are just just to relax, eat and walk along the ancient city walls. Whilst other reviews have complained that there wasnt enough to do - I think that they may have been missing the point completely. It is not about seeing a certain number of attractions, Lucca is all about La Dolce Vita - It is absolutley wonderful, the weather was horrendous when we went but didnt manage to taint how we felt about it. Will definitely go back - from the UK, its very quick and will even be tempted to nip over for 2 nights - if only for the food.
