I do travel quite a bit and when travelling to Italy as a rule of thumb I take out a star to the hotel and most of the time it is even barely worth that level; well, to my great surprise, California Park was largely worth its 4 stars. I do not value much that service but how many times... More

The hotel is located 3 blocs away from the beach and 500 meters away from Forte downtown. You drop the car the first day and commute by bicycle during the stay. Family run business, meaning first quality service in general, excellent italian food, enormous backyard / playground for kids. Large swimming pool if not willing to go every day to... More

Friendly staff, English definitely is a minority here in Fort Di Marmi, do brush up on your Italian! Room smaller that expected, but great balcony and tidy. Relaxed pool area, easy bar service or waitress by pool. 15mins north on a bike takes you into Forte Di Marni for great selection of bars and restaurants along the beach front and... More

We booked the California Park hotel for a four night stay by the coast before heading to Tuscany. We arrived around 2pm to be told that lunch was in fact over but the very helpful receptionist said that the restaurant would be able to rustle something up. Luigi the Maitre d then appeared-he was extremely unfriendly and incredibly rude. He... More

This hotel has had mixed reviews but for a short stay in Pisa its fine. The rooms are small but very clean and comfortable, the staff were polite professional and VERY helpful. The breakfast buffet is fine, please stop complaining that there is no english breakfast! The hotel is set in surprisingly attractive gardens not far from the main road... More

We stayed here because of the pool, which was to be fair lovely (despite only being allowed 1 thin towel each). The neutral room with its IKEA wardrobe was quite small but clean. The bathroom too. Breakfast was OK but basic. We never experienced the restaurant because it only served food between 1pm and 2pm! Check your bill at the... More

Very bad taste decoration, mostly german clients with loud children. Too far away from town center to walk. Rooms without view. When a next door guest goes to the bathroom it s so noisy you think you have been yourself. You hear about everything being done or said in the other rooms. No sound proofing at al. Depressing, especially the... More

We visited this hotel in June 2003 on a package holiday from the UK.All the staff were very friendly, although most only spoke limited English.For most of the two weeks we were there we were the only Brits but by the end of our stay their English had improved 100%, likewise our Italian.I got the impression they would love more...
