this hotel is lovely, the staff were excelent and very helpful, we asked for a kettle and cups in our room and in no time it was there waiting for us with biscuits.we had the use of free push bikes and its just what you need in this area eveyone uses them, the old and the young, its very central for traveling to pisa, florence, lucca, the train station is very close, we had a fab holiday here and would like to return, if we do we will be staying in this hotel, good pool, good breakfast, good every thing.

We stayed here for 2 weeks in September and enjoyed every moment . Hotel spotless clean towels and bed linen daily. Lovely pool area and supplied towels for the sun beds. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed eating outside every morning loved the coffee. The hotel staff were so friendly and could not do enough to help in every way. No charge for the safe in the room or for the bycycles. We found the hotel very relaxing and the bus stop was practically just outside with a good bus service every hour . There was a bus to Lucca which is a town worth visiting and one that takes you to Pisa or Pisa airport. Another which can stop at the train station and then get the train to Florence.All in all a perfect holiday in a perfect hotel.

What not to like. A beautiful renovated Italian-style hotel. The room (superior) was more than we expected. Decorated with a personal touch. Two identical bathrooms and wardrobes/safes. Great Internet-connection – free all over the hotel. The bathrooms were small but more than adequate. The shower on the tiny side, but water was both hot and with sufficient pressure. Enough shelves and cabinets for all your toiletries. We wrote in advance and asked for a room with great view and extra top mattresses on the beds. When we arrived we got room with an amazing roof terrace with chairs, tables and sunbeds and the mattresses on top of bed was of the very best quality. Since the hotel is situated along a busy road there can be some traffic noise, but with closed doors we didn't hear a ting. The climate control in the room worked perfectly. Maybe a bit noisy on full speed, but no need for that in early September.

There were a beautiful garden and the lovely pool looked inviting, but since we were a bit unlucky with (warm) mostly rainy/cloudy days we didn't get to try it.


To be in Italy the breakfast was very good - yogurt, serials, toast/bread, rolls, scrambled/boiled eggs, cheese, ham/salami/prosciutto and jam and the usual Italian cakes (still dreaming of those croissants...) There were also plenty of cool, fresh fruit.


But first and foremost I will praise the exceptional service we got from all the staff-members. Anything we'd like to do they were ready with suggestions how to easiest get there, parking, shops and sights worth visiting. Instead of calling a taxi when we needed one, hotels own Antonio (?) drove us and picked us up when we called the hotel at the end of our trip. The same Antonio was also available for taking guests round-trips to the known sights around the area, Pisa, Lucca etc. He didn’t speak a word English, but was a delight to drive with. He made us understand what he was telling regardless. He also helped making space for all the guests’ cars in the rather small area they had for parking. We delivered the key in the reception and when we needed the car it was moved to a place so we could get out.


For those loving beaches and the sea it was only 50 meters to the large beach (25 km long) with discount on sun-beds/chairs/parasols in certain areas for hotel guests. Since I have trouble walking I can’t say much for outdoor activities, but I noticed the hotel had bikes for rent/loan and it has to be a great way to get around and see it all. A must is a visit to the beautiful pier down by the beach. We were there by day, but to watch the sunset from there has to be amazing.


The ambiance in the hotel was lovely - so calm and relaxing. Some guests were taking a sunbath/swim, a nap in the shadow, reading, enjoying a drink and a chat, playing chess etc. It was a very comforting homely feeling over it all. Three nights was far too short for a visit. Much more to see and do and we will be back - for sure!!

Fabulous ten day holiday. Hotel spotless, spacious room and shower room, clean towels and bedlinen every day. No need to take a beach towel as given one daily for free as well as no charge for safe or to use their bykes. It's ideal for cycling as there are byke lanes and it is very flat. Bus stops practically outside the hotel. The staff were very friendly, efficient and courteous. Disappointed to learn closed from end September until March as would have loved to have gone back in October. Well placed to visit Pisa (including a bus direct from airport to almost front of hotel €3 each way), Lucca and Florence by bus or train to Sienna. Hotel driver picked us up at airport and dropped us €60 each way. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
