L'Antica Bifore
About
L’Antica Bifore Guest House is a charming, mid‑range bed and breakfast nestled inside the historic walls of Lucca, right on the lively Via Fillungo. The property occupies the second floor of the medieval Torre del Travaglio – a 12th‑century tower that once hosted the famed poet Dante – and retains authentic Palazzo‑style features such as high coffered ceilings, original terracotta floors, arched stained‑glass windows, and chiseled stone walls. Each of the four spacious double rooms – La Divina, Beatrice, Dante, and Paradiso – offers its own decorative flair with frescoed ceilings, period furnishings, and private bathrooms. Modern comforts are seamlessly blended into the historic setting: digital TV, air‑conditioning, high‑speed Wi‑Fi, and organic on‑site bathroom products. Guests can enjoy a traditional Italian breakfast, with options for in‑room or nearby pastry shop service, priced at €8 per person. The free‑standing reception hall welcomes visitors with a crystal chandelier, antique furnishings, and a curated selection of books and city maps. All in all, L’Antica Bifore delivers an immersive, authentic Lucca experience with warm hospitality, convenient central location, and elegant heritage charm.
