Residenza di Via Fontana is a unique bed & breakfast, moulded on a concept of hospitality that is friendly yet sophisticated: we welcome our guests warmly and with a thousand attentive touches to make their stay unforgettable. We aim to truly showcase the beautiful corner of Tuscany that is Lucca, from its stunning city walls and hundred churches and its belfries, towers and evocative corners to the surrounding hills in which medieval villages nestle together with villas and palaces steeped in history, art and exquisite gardens.
It is more than that, however:
Residenza di Via Fontana is also our small yet great dream come true.
Let us get to know each other better! Our story began at Kings College, London, a quarter of a century ago, where Massimo and Irene met thanks to a shoe that came unlaced. They were married no less than 16 years later; a happy ending that would prove be the true beginning!
In 2010, Matilde was born, teaching us the beauty of life, and, in 2013, with the arrival of Vittoria, our contribution of gaiety to the human race was complete.
Then, one dark and stormy day in November 2015, Camilla (a golden Labrador puppy) joined the team.
We hung a “NO VACANCIES” sign on our door.
We love travelling, socialising, eating well and drinking better and, most of all, taking great care of the many friends who come to visit us. Over the years, we have come to specialise in warm welcomes, stimulating food and wine tours, visits to enchanted villages tucked away in the hills, and enchanting views and scenery.
It seemed only natural, therefore, when the opportunity presented itself, to extend this passion to other guests; to friends we have yet to meet.
Come and find us, and you will understand what we mean by hospitality!
