After landing at Pisa airport we took a bus (tickets purchased inside airport) directly to Livorno and got off at the end of the line. From there it was perhaps a 4 block walk to the hotel. We did have to ask directions because it is on a small side street with very little traffic. The room was small, but charming and furnished with pretty, antique furniture. The bathroom was large with marble tile, shower, bidet, hairdryer. There was a bit of a problem with the shower nozzle spray and the shower floor was very slippery. I would also have liked a little rug outside the shower, but we used a towel. Other than that, it was lovely. Our room was "Vivaldi" I believe and overlooked the garden. The room was very quiet and we saw no other guests. There is just a small lobby, there is no bar and continental breakfast (which we did not have) is apparently served in the garden. There are two great restaurants on the same street and a bar with outside seating across the street. There is a shopping district nearby and the canals are also within walking distance. The owners/staff were pleasant and I found Livorno to be a very pretty town to spend two days exploring while waiting to board our MSC cruise ship.
