Lovely family hotel

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Nov 2017via mobile
This is a small, family-run hotel a few miles outside Pisa. Its high rating, which we endorse, is probably more for the friendliness/helpfulness of the owner/managers than for its facilities.

There's no restaurant, but there are lots of dining opportunities in the area (even in early November when we came). The hotel will give you good recommendations: Il Martini is quite special, and Lo Squalo well worth a visit.

Don't come to watch TV if you're an English speaker: no relevant channels, but why watch TV here anyway??

Come with a car? - good parking available.

We were very happy with this as a base from which to explore Pisa, Lucca and other parts of Tuscany.

    A really lovely and comfortable family run hotel in Tirrenia. We very much enjoyed our stay there in the end of July 2017. The hotel provided discount for sunbeds at the beach nearby, which was only a few minutes walk away. Clean and comfortable rooms with air condition. The breakfast was very nice with good and strong espresso. I could certainly recommend this hotel to other Tirrenia visitors.

    Stayed here for a short two night trip, and very much enjoyed our stay! The rooms were slight outdated, and beds, sheets, towels a bit uncomfortable... but the room, bathroom, and lobby/dining area was clean clean... which I find most important! Staff is friendly. Breakfast had many options, and a kind woman comes around and gives you warm pastries and coffee/tea of your choosing!

    Walkable to the beach... literally less than 5 minutes! Fantastic.

    Quaint, family run, older hotel with lovely breakfast room and garden areas. Rooms are simple, clean, and pleasant. We had a small balcony overlooking the neighbour's garden. We found the free wi-fi service was slow and intermittent.
    We found walking and cycling in the area during the " off season " with many beach side facilities abandoned and in need of repair, and restaurants and facilities closed, rather depressing. Limited options for eating in the area during the non-peak season.

    Lovely run family hotel, the manager Massimo was friendly and accommodating and provided excellent service and beyond. Nothing was ever too much. The other staff such as Fiqerete, Sose, Biku and Christiano were all just as welcoming and provided us with a relaxing experience. The hotel offers a transfer service to and from the airport which is fantastic. There was also breakfast included which was tasty and fresh - pastries, juices, eggs and tea and coffee.

    The room was very clean and pleasant with a lovely decor.

    The location was excellent it was on the main road with the bus stop available to take you to Pisa train station walking distance of 2 minutes from the hotel. The beach was across the road and the town centre is roughly a 25 minute stroll.

    The best thing about this trip was having the hotel as a base to travel around to the neighbouring cities, within the 4 days of me staying in Tirrenia my cousin and I visited Florence, Lucca, Siena and Pisa. The only downfall was the buses running every half an hour to an hour- having a more frequent bus service in the area would have been better and more lights on the road. If the hotel never had its blue light outside the hotel you would most definitely miss your stop.

    Overall amazing experience and I will be definitely visiting again in the future.

    Room tip: Street view room, high floor which overlooks the garden front
