The hotel-style accommodation is situated in a large nineteenth century building. Full of sun-light, the charm and style of Da Elisa is immediately apparent on entering the reception hall and is reflected throughout the rooms. The furniture is in Art-Deco style. Chandeliers hang in most of the rooms and ceilings and cornices are delicately decorated. The floors are made with wonderfully coloured and ornately patterned tiles.

Da Elisa is situated on the eastern side of Lucca, opposite the church of San Micheletto and within a stone's-throw of the city walls, with wide paths and wooded areas to explore by foot or bicycle. Lucca's botanical garden (Orto Botanico), a wonderful oasis of peace and tranquillity, is just a two-minute walk away.

Holiday accommodation is offered in single, double, triple and quadruple rooms and guests can choose to stay on a self-catering or bed and breakfast basis. Breakfast is provided by the bar below the guesthouse.

Da Elisa is what the Italians call an 'affittacamere'. This means that guests rent the rooms on a nightly basis and the rooms do not have en-suite bathrooms. Instead, the six bedrooms share three bathrooms, all with showers. Guests also have access to a lovely shared kitchen during their vacation.

There is public parking downstairs, with free parking outside the city walls, just 100 metres away.
