Residenza Mansi -- Sitting Room with Balcony
The ultimate in luxury! A Broadway Producer's Private Retreat in the heart of Lucca’s "centro storico." Every possible care has been taken to furnish and present these three apartments (please see individual links to descriptions below) in a luxurious yet practical manner that will delight even the most assiduous holiday makers.
Residenza Mansi: Upon entering just the foyer of Residenza Mansi, it is clear that this is no ordinary apartment. The sheer size of the apartment is one of the most amazing considerations and has been achieved by combining two normal apartments into one exceptionally large, luxury retreat. There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms (a feature being the main suite’s incredible double en-suite with connecting shower room.), three dining areas, a sitting room with balcony, a television lounge, two kitchens, and a very large terrace garden.
Situated on the first floor above ground, one enters the apartment via a foyer with an incredible Venetian cut glass mirror. To the left and right are two sitting rooms. On the left, there is a sitting room which is warm and welcoming with a large table with comfortable, oversized leather chairs. There is a small terrace accessed via two sets of French doors which flank a wall which houses a matching Venetian mirror to the entrance hall. This sitting room has the original timber beamed ceiling resounding with the echoes of centuries past.
Proceeding through this sitting room, you arrive in a state of the art kitchen where no expense has been spared. It is large, opulent and most important, functional! All of the appliances are SMEG, comprising a double sized electric oven, a gas cooktop and a dishwasher. There is also a very large American side by side fridge / freezer with a water and ice dispenser. There is a very large dining table capable of seating eight for formal dining. It is an extendable table and compacts to a deceptively small table for four or six when not extended. An excellent idea for those who don’t wish to cramp the day to day living style, but still entertain on a large scale.
You have the option to continue through the kitchen to the main sleeping quarters, or to pass into the kitchen and turn right to the second, smaller kitchen. This is once again, a fully functional kitchen in its own right. Fully fitted with SMEG appliances, it comprises an electric oven, a microwave oven, a gas cooktop and a dishwasher. This second kitchen leads you to a second sitting room (also accessible from the entrance foyer) which has a more casual eating area consisting of bench seating in and L shape around a typical Tuscan table with timber and rattan based chairs making up the rest of the settings. This is also the TV room, and there is a large flat screen TV with SKY satelite TV, video and DVD facilities. All of this is viewed via a luxurious and comfortable leather lounge suite including a leather ottoman to rest those weary legs after hours of sightseeing.

Residenza Mansi Gourment Kitchen!
The sleeping accommodation is what remains, and the main suite is something to behold. This is an enormous suite with a huge, King sized four poster bed. There is luxurious, custom built furniture surrounding the room, housing extensive wardrobes a discreet TV accommodation and spacious bedside drawers. All in a completely harmonious context that leads you to believe that all of this has remained in situ for decades. This main bedroom also features a spectacular timber beamed ceiling.
There is a double en-suite bathroom leading off the main bedroom to complete the master suite. It has a powder room, a small bathroom and these are both connected by a “shower room”. This entire en-suite complex has been fitted out in local granite of olive green hue and has cream marble vanity tops. Halogen lighting and a combination of chrome and stainless steel completes the blend of traditional meets high tech.
There are three more bedrooms, all of which are decorated with new custom made furniture in a “distressed” look featuring clusters and posies of local flowers. The second bedroom has a Queen sized matrimonial bed, the third bedroom features twin singles, that can be combined to form a Queen sized matrimonial bed. The fourth bedroom has a single bed which can be converted to a queen sized matrimonial bed.
The fourth bedroom also houses access to the large terrace garden. This is a sun-drenched space for most of the day. There are relaxing, teak sun lounges for two or an extendable teak dining table with seating for eight. This is a spot where it is imagined that many a summer meals would be consumed.
The full apartment is extremely spacious for six guests. The fourth bedroom is best suited for children or a single adult.
