We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights as part of a coach trip package. We arrived around 11am and our rooms were available, they were comfortable for our duration but may be on the small side if you were staying longer. They were cleaned every day and we had fresh towels. We did have air con albeit it didn't seem to make the room any cooler.
This seems to be a family business, and whilst all the staff were friendly they did speak limited English. Antonio did an incredible job of running the dining area, we were half board. Breakfast was a bit boring and the same every day (fresh bread, selection of ham & cheese, ceral, yogurt and boiled eggs) would have been nice to have fresh fruit or toast. Evening meals were varied, therecwas always a salad bar and we tended to get two options of a starter and main followed by a desert. Though none of the meals stood out as particularly great, they were edible and there was plenty of it.
There was a small bar where you could purchase alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks but it was a bit confusing as we were told that all drinks had to be paid on departure whereas I would have preferred to pay at the time especially as there were no price lists so an expensive bill is easily acheiveable, however we managed to pay every other...We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights as part of a coach trip package.

The location was great, the promenade with shops and the beach were in a 5min walking distance and it took no longer than an hour or so to travel on our coach to the various places round and about (Lucca, Pisa, Florence).
We did have an incident where our coach was broken into over night as it was parked outside the hotel which is in a quiet residential area. Not the hotels fault but just to be mindful really.
Overall we found the hotel to be adequate for our needs and comfortable. The area is quiet which allows for relaxing if you wish to hang around the hotel and the roof top sun terrace offers fabulous views of the mountains as well as the opportunity to sun bathe.
Remember to take insect repellent and after bite creams, we forgot and needless to say we received numerous bites each night!!
