Hotel Palazzo Guinigi
$199
The Hotel Palazzo Guinigi loomed like a shadowy sentinel from the medieval past, its stone facade whispering secrets of long-dead souls trapped within the confines of its cold, ancient walls. As night draped its velvet cloak over Lucca, the temperature plummeted inexplicably, wrapping the corridors in an icy grip that seemed to breathe with a life of its own; guests often claimed to glimpse figures, hazy and fleeting, gazing out from the gnarled windows as if waiting for the dawn that never quite seemed to arrive. Those who dared to close their eyes at night would awaken with a shiver, sensing an unseen presence lingering just beyond the flickering light, a reminder that some spirits prefer the dark.
