Tuscany Hotels

disappointing

Advantages: nice location
Disadvantages: cannot feel comfortable

The hotel has a beautiful location. But the rooms are quite small. The hot water is unreliable, because the solar panels are quirky. No adjustment will be made for the price if you remain without hot water. The hotel personel is very nice, but the family who owns/runs the hotel is arrogant and has no idea what courtesy to clients, in the sense of service and respect means. Somehow in Italy you can get away with this. The hotel has a beautiful location. ...

Review of Hotel Arenella, Isola del Giglio

A WACKY HOTEL FULL OF PIXIES

Advantages: A fairy land for children and Grown Ups.
Disadvantages: Those footpaths.

Just back from a little jaunt to Lucca, the ladies always wanted to go back to see it at Christmas time. We had booked the flights back in July, so East Midlands to Pisa with Ryanair, included a Hold Baggage Case (in case of Xmas shopping), so also Airport Checkin prices, but total each £47 return. Checked Hotelscomparison.Com which came up with this "WACKY" looking place. Price was £101 for a Double including Breakfast for the three nights. So ...
...could you get that in England. Booked thru Octopustravel.com, thank goodness it was one you pay up front at booking, so did not suffer thru exchange rate falling since booking. Emailed Hotel owner to check on a local Restaurante as we would be on an afternoon arrival so expected to get to hotel about 18:30 and did not want to trawl about. Very good restaurant recommended (See review by BOSTONIANBEER on Restaurant ALEA). As Hotel offered Transfer ...

Review of La Corte Dei Folletti Bed & Breakfast

Tuscany at it's best

Advantages: Good location for sight seeing tuscany, wide range of outdoor activities
Disadvantages: nothing

...at it's best Stayed at Hotel Prategiano in July 2004 and revisited again in 2007! A charming quiet hotel set in the hills of tuscany, just 1km from the quaint village of montieri. It is in easy reach of Sienna, Florence and the Island of Elba to name but a few areas of interest. The hotel offers a wide variety of activities such as horse riding, biking, walking and boasts it's own secluded pool in which you can swim and relax at the end of the day. ...
...day trails with a relaxing two hour picnic by the river or in the forest. Hotel Prategiano is an ideal location for a fun packed outdoor activity holiday, a sight seeing holiday or just a haven in which to relax. I have recommended this hotel to many of my friends ...

Review of Hotel Prategiano - Maremma Toscana, Tuscany

HOME COMFORTS or NOT IN LUCCA

Advantages: Cheap and Location
Disadvantages: Not Onsuite and no breakfast

The Quatro Fontanas or the Fountain Travel Club stayed in this Hotel (perhaps better decribed as Bed Guest House) The first thing it is very cheap in price two nights for Double Room thru Bookings.com would be about £60. You can also see photos of the Rooms on that site) Now I have said it is Cheap and no breakfast ,DONT TURN OFF JUST YET, it does have other attributes. First you have to find the place. We arrived as most do by Train from Pisa ...
...only 3 miles from the Railway station, then about 35 mins on train to Lucca. You come out of the station at Lucca and are faced with what they call the Meadow. This is a grassy park area that lies outside the WALLS, yes WALLS. These you have to either Get over or walk round to one of the main gates. Lucca is a BEAUTIFUL WALLED TOWN. We went over the walls by means of Stairs, the Walls are wide enough to have a small road run all the way around ...

Review of Da Elisa alle Sette Arti, Lucca

Good location from which to explore Tuscany!

Advantages: Its a superb Hotel!
Disadvantages: Its a long walk to the other end of town if you are not fit!

We booked this Hotel through Crystal Italy a few weeks before we travelled . We paid approx £450 each for half board which compared with the brochure prices seemed too good to be true. The Hotel is built on a junction and like quite a few other Hotels in Viareggio, its a very impressive building. Built on five floors, the entrance to the Hotel is through doors located on the corner at the junction of the two roads. There are four stone columns near ...
...on the roof, is the Hotel swimming pool, but obviously thats not visible from ground level. The five floors of the Hotel are all of different design. We found ourselves on the Art Deco Floor which suited us nicely. The whole Hotel was very tastefully decorated and looked as though it had been recently refurbished. Our room was well decorated with a comfortable bed, and equipped with TV with internet access, and a Mini bar which we didn't use - we ...
