“Disappointing Stay in Tirrenia”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012

The Riviera Blu is a small pensione in Tirrenia. Unfortunately we booked a room without terrace. The room was tiny with barely enough room to move around. With windows open at night the traffic noise is significant. There is no elevator and we hauled our heavy luggage up to the third floor. The young lady serving at breakfast is charming and makes good cappucino, but the food is almost entirely plastic wrapped industrial fare.. We were offered fresh pastry on our last day.
The more senior manager is very nice, the younger fellow has an attitude and is helpful only if pressed. All in all, not a great stay. The place is well-kept and very clean but a 3 star rating is surprising.

Room Tip: Apparently a room with terrace is a must, preferably on the back.

Dear Mr Jeff...,
Thank you very much for your recension , even if it is not positive, we do agree to receive criticism , cause it help us to give better services in the future.
We would like to punctualize some things:
It is real that our hotel doesn't dispose of a lift, but in the same way the reception has the peremptory order to offer to all guests free luggage transport service. Besides, we want to specify that our Hotel has only 2 up floors over the ground floor.
Concerning our breakfast, everybody has its personal ideas of it. Our is a buffet breakfast, and on our buffet there're fresh products like ham and salami, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, bread, cakes etc, and of course some packaged brioches. Fresh briosches are offered to all our guest everyday, and we usually dispose of a bigger number of fresh brioches than the number of our guest to avoid that someone doesn't find it. It is possible that our breakfast maid didn't explained that well.
Thanks again for choosing us.
Best regards
The Direction

“Very good hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2012

Very nice and quiet hotel. Not far away from a beach but all are private beaches (in season you need to pay for entry) ... but who will lay on a beach in Tuscany.
Rooms big enough, everyday housekeeping (new towels, making bed, cleaning). Very nice staff (no problem to get glasses, corkscrew etc). They are speeking english. They have a bus shutle to take you from/on airport.
Only thing in minus were the brekfast, too monotonous (ham, chease, crosounts), but great capucino and late.
I recomend it as a base to visit Tuscany, close to Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Florence and Cinque Terre

“A Lovely Hotel, Especially For Couples!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2012

This place will provide you with beautiful memories and you may want to return again. It's an idyllic, charming little hotel that is warm in hospitality. It's situated in a local neighborhood, not a commercial development. The area is peaceful and attractive. The establishment sits on a private property surrounded with lush greens and a sweet perfumed row of jasmine bushes. As a guest, you get the impression that you have been invited by an Italian family.

The water is mere minutes away. The nearby coastline (beach) is very nice. You can easily take a relaxing stroll there and around the town of Tirrenia. It's not that big, but worth exploring. Pisa is a short distance away as well as the town of Lucca. If you have a car, then you can access them with no problem.

The room was clean, bright and airy. The decor and furnishings were beach-side themed with a simple touch. One of the perks is that you get a french door that leads out to your own private balcony where you can sit and be in awe of nature. The other perk is that it included a bathroom that you didn't have to share with anyone.

Room Tip: Try to get a room with a private balcony. It's worth it!
