Hotel Bracciotti has a very kind atmosphere and if you book mezza pensione( breakfast and diner included), the cook manages to serve a varied meal every day. Good quality. His pastries are the most delicious! Very kind staff and reception. Pure Italian hotel (, with kind owners (mother and daughter run the hotel perfectly). The hotel consists of two opposite buildings with Spa and swimming pool on both roofs (great vieuw over the Tuscany coast!). Good wines, and modest prices. Both buildings are located on a buisy road, but when you shut down the oustside blinds, noises are gone. Our room was a little tiny, and next tot he elevator, but OK, with little balcony and sea view, on the 5th (top) floor,, at the backside of the hotel, overlooking the beach. I suppose there are bigger rooms (basement seemed to have very large balconies!) but I don't know how the interior looks like.The building and rooms have central airconditioning, shuts down and starts (depending on the temperature outside) automatically. In the room you can only arrange the speed of the airco or shut it off, but if you want airco on in the night (after 01.30 hrs) it's not possible. Parking place of the hotel is available and included . Parkingspaces a little tiny for f.e. MPV's. Regular cars can park easily there. From the hotel it is a 3 minutes walk to the beach, Bagno Venezia, with his nice owner Marco.At the beach free wifi/internet. In the hotel you have to pay (al little amount) for wifi. We had a pleasant stay in hotel Barcciotti and wnat to thank Maria and her mother and staff for the good service!

I felt like I went back in time to the 70's. They still have regular keys to lock the doors. Noisy and not very soundproofed. Very basic room, small and does not merit a 3*. The shower was a stall that could only fit a very thin person (2 ft. x 2 ft.) I booked 2 rooms and wanted them on the same floor, did not get that. Upon arrival, we turned on the airconditioning in one room as the temperature outside was about 35 celcius and the room was very stuffy and hot. After several hours we realized that the temperature was slowly getting cooler but then at about 2:00 a.m. the AC shut off automatically and it was still about 25 celcius in the room. At 5:00 a.m. my husband went to the front desk to complain only to be told that their policy was not to run the AC 24 hours per day. It runs from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. only. After many complaints they agreed to let the AC run 24 hours for us. From our understanding other guests had the same complaint. Thank goodness that our daughers' room was more spacious (located on the 5th floor #70) and the AC worked great. We also ended up taking our showers in their room because they had a huge shower. The breakfast was fulfilling with a variety of cereals, breads, cold cuts and cheese. We ate our meals in other restaurants. Good location and affordable access to the beach at Bagni Venezia - a discount is given upon recommendation by hotel. Great lunches at Bagni Venezia as well.
