Dreaming of Italy

Weekend Getaway with Friends

Gather your friends and head to Lucca for a fabulous stress free weekend getawaY

Spend time together enjoying great activities, food and wine.

Lucca is the perfect pedestrian-sized city for a break where you truly get the most out of your weekend. Stay in the centre of this beautiful mediaeval city soaking up the vibrant atmosphere and culture in the winding streets and lively piazzas.

Find your active side and bike around the impressive city walls and climb up the tower with the trees on top for a bird’s eye view over the terracotta roofs. Unwind after a busy week by sipping Aperol Spritzes al fresco in true Italian style and then go on to savour delicious local food at a traditional trattoria.

Instead of meeting in the usual pub, why not do something completely different and catch up with friends over pasta making and wine tasting at a charming Tuscan vineyard!
