Where to Stay?

We were able to fit a number of guests at Villa Grabau and Arancera, but, unfortunately, the space was limited. Luckily, there are beautiful places to stay near Villa Grabau and also in the town of Lucca (room blocks are not reserved). Our suggestions are below (click on the hotel names below to visit their websites).

Transportation to Gli Orti di Via Elisa for the Primi Pasta Evening?


For guests of Villa Grabau and L'Arancera, shuttles will depart for Gli Orti di Via Elisa at 7:00pm. Shuttles will return guests to Villa Grabau and L'Arancera at 10:30pm. For those wishing to explore the town of Lucca after dinner, taxis are available at the piazza.

Footwear for The Wedding Day?

Consider block heels or wedges for women (heel protectors will be provided) since some floors and walkways are made of grass and stone. The dance floor will be shimmy proof.

Hair and Makeup for The Wedding Day:?

Hair and makeup services are available upon request. Kindly contact our wedding planner, Monica Jardine, at least 4 months before the event (monica@lovelyweddingsitaly.com).

Traveling with Children?

While the wedding will be adults only, we certainly encourage families to travel together. If you need help with care, kindly email Monica Jardine at least 4 months before the event (monica@lovelyweddingsitaly.com).
