The Quatro Fontanas or the Fountain Travel Club stayed in this Hotel (perhaps better decribed as Bed Guest House)
The first thing it is very cheap in price two nights for Double Room thru Bookings.com would be about £60. You can also see photos of the Rooms on that site)
Now I have said it is Cheap and no breakfast ,DONT TURN OFF JUST YET, it does have other attributes.
First you have to find the place.
We arrived as most do by Train from Pisa where we had flown into. The Airport at Pisa is only 3 miles from the Railway station, then about 35 mins on train to Lucca.
You come out of the station at Lucca and are faced with what they call the Meadow. This is a grassy park area that lies outside the WALLS, yes WALLS. These you have to either Get over or walk round to one of the main gates. Lucca is a BEAUTIFUL WALLED TOWN ...

Last year when I was in Naples I browsed through the English corner of a bookshop and found the English version (which is the original one, the Swede Axel Munthe wrote the book in English), my first thought was, ?Gosh, is it still around??
