A house along the ditch. Lucca: apartment in the historic center, in an authentic and peaceful setting

This house is located in one of the most distinctive corners of Lucca’s historic center: Via del Fosso.

Here, the fosso is not merely the street’s name: it is the watercourse of the public canal that runs alongside it, a defining feature of Lucca’s urban landscape.

On the second floor of a historic building, the apartment covers approximately 75 m² and has a simple, rational layout, with a bright living area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.

The kitchen and living area share a single, well-proportioned space.

The two openings to the outside visually expand the space and bring the presence of the city indoors, while the kitchen layout makes it practical for everyday life and entertaining.

The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms, both lit by windows facing Via del Fosso. The outlook is open, with the buildings opposite at some distance. The city walls, meanwhile, are an integral part of the view.

Interior details include wooden doors and window shutters, together with certain construction features that recall the architectural language of homes in the historic center. These are simple details that lend the rooms a homely, authentic character.

The area also offers several parking options in the immediate vicinity, a practical advantage for those choosing to live in the historic center.
