Eclectic and eccentric, harking back to a different time and a different world. Walk into the entrance hall and you step back in time and you are in esteemed company as the list of famous guests is a Who’s Who are those on the European tour.
The rooms throughout the hotel ooze history. However, don’t expect all of today’s modern hotel luxuries, staying here is much more than staying in one of those chain hotels which could be anywhere in the world.
Here you are clearly in Italy and Pisa is all around as the hotel is centrally located overlooking the river. A short walk from the railway station and the station easily connects to the airport via the Pisamover.
Breakfast is buffet style and more than adequate, the roof terrace is a good space to sit, chat and relax with a drink. However, do explore the whole of the hotel, it is full of interesting exhibits, pictures and pianos!
Staff are so helpful and friendly and the room rates are more than reasonable. For a few euros more a night upgrade to a superior room and enjoy more space, more items of a by gone age and often an enhanced view.
This was my second stay and I will be more than happy to return!
