I have just returned from a holiday in Viareggio staying at the Plaze e De Russie with my Husband and little girl aged 3 yrs. We paid a bit more for a larger room on the second floor with a sea view which was well worth it. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed a good breakfast... more

We arranged a three night stay through ActiveHotels,the rate actually turned out to be the same as the hotel's own website.In the special request box I asked about three things.Quiet room,non-allegic pillows and parking.The following day I had a 'phone call put through to me from a "foreign sounding lady".It was Silvia from the Russie asking about my special requests.Fantastic-and... more

Lovely architecture and decor in the public areas. We paid extra for a room with a "sea view". This turned out not to include the sea (we weren't high enough) and rather to be a room facing right on to the street with lots of traffic noise. The room was quite small.

This is a very grand and lovely hotel. We stayed for a couple of nights at the end of a trip around Tuscany. The staff were faultless, the food was gorgeous and the room was delightful. I can't fault this hotel. The only moan was about Viareggio itself. It is very touristy and you can only use the beach if... more
