Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a warm and friendly welcome, with comfortable rooms featuring quality furnishings and a modern bathroom. The location is perfect for exploring the city, with some dining options nearby. However, the dining experience could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and disappointment. The rooms were quite large and had individual features that added to the charm, but the struggle with the Air Conditioning made the nights uncomfortably hot. The service was far from friendly or helpful and lacked accountability. The location, however, was unique and surrounded by Italian history, making it a great choice for exploring. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited choices and basic options.
The hotel is tucked away in a quiet street, making it very good for visitors looking for a peaceful setting. The rooms are big enough, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated with trompe l'oeil frescoes of birds and flowers on whitewashed walls, a lovely touch. However, the hotel entrance is on a noisy street. The presence of a fireplace and a DVD player enhances the room experience. The service was a bit slow as we spent 30 minutes on the phone to arrange some travel details. The location is excellent for those who want to explore the main Pisa sights, with easy access to the tower and cathedral. The dining experience was decent but not exceptional, offering the usual selection of Italian breakfast items. The hotel lacks a fully-prepared breakfast buffet but features a buffet style with delicious options. Overall, a worthwhile stay for a peaceful retreat with clean, comfortable rooms and great proximity to attractions.
The hotel surprised us with its impeccable service and attention to detail, despite some minor issues with the rooms and dining experience. The location was outstanding and close to major attractions, offering great value for money.
The hotel offers a unique Italian experience with its historical surroundings and quiet street, although the rooms can get uncomfortably hot due to poor air conditioning. The dining options are fairly basic but the location is superb for exploring the nearby attractions.
