Hidden just outside the beautiful city of Lucca surrounded by a beautiful garden with ancient trees, you’ll find Villa la Dogana. This authentic Italian palazzo exudes charm and pampers its guests with an unforgettable experience.
The things we loved the most were the welcoming owner, the delicious cappuccino (just the way the Italians do), and the room, which is more than just a place to sleep; it is a fairytale oasis with a gigantic bed and unique details that make you feel like you are dreaming.
