Lucca as a base

We made a fabulous choice of base for our holiday and search. Lucca is a beautiful and friendly city with ancient ramparts all the way round. We got reacquainted with the city and fell in love with it. We took regular walks on the ramparts which were most magical in the early evening when the sun was low and warm and golden.

I think we may have had a unique experience of Lucca in that summer as there were far fewer tourists than usual.
