We will be starting our segment of the VF in Lucca in September. Does anyone have a recommendation for accommodation for a 2 to 3 night stay?
Thanks
Hi Sharon, Buongiorno! We stayed for couple nights at the Confraternity of the Misericordia di Lucca, Via Cesare Battisti, 2, '+39 (0)583 409 546 (press 2). The Confraternity provides the Pilgrims on the Via Francigena a place to sleep and eat. It is an apartment adjacent to the emergency services headquarters (you will see Ambulance vehicles parked nearby and you talk to the people at the Ambulance office), located a few steps from the Church of the Arch: St. Saviour in Mustolio, also called "Mercy". 5 beds, kitchen, living room and toilet. A newly renovated flat with three beds, bathroom and kitchenette. Amazing location right in the centre. We had to wait till 3 pm to check in. It was 10 euros in 2018 (donativo). And they do have many more rooms further away (we had stayed there too). Simple but clean facility. There is a decent restaurant across the street on a side lane with pilgrim menu! A lovely city and you could walk/bike on top of the walls!
