Lucca, a small city in Tuscany, is a haven for cyclists and those seeking a laid-back Italian atmosphere.
Surrounded by well-preserved Renaissance walls, Lucca is a pedestrian-friendly city with charming streets, historic churches, and a tower offering panoramic views. Rent a bicycle and ride along the tree-lined walls, or attend one of the city’s summer music festivals held in its beautiful piazzas.
A property might have a resident bison herd as its welcome committee, a flock of friendly flamingos photobombing on the reg, or even an adolescent elephant thinking it’s cool to drink from the pool. Why not? After all, it’s an animal’s world. We’re just living in it. From Alaska to Africa, these 13 hotels and resorts allow you to binge-watch wildlife to your heart’s content.
