“Good hotel for a vacation in Castiglione della Pescaia”

The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful! We had a room with a balcony facing east with a view of the Diaccia Botrona Natural Reserve and the harbor. We really liked that. The hotel is centrally located, with short distances to the restaurants, beach bars and ice cream parlors. The hotel is very close to the bridge over the Bruna, so it is only a 10 to 15 minute walk to the hotel parking lot or to the beaches on the other side of the Bruna. You can go on bike tours with the free hotel bicycles (without gears). We found it very good that you could leave the air conditioning on a low setting during the day so that the room was pleasantly cool in the evening. The hotel has a small roof terrace from which you can watch the rising full moon. We found this very romantic. Drinks can also be served on the roof terrace. You have to be aware that there is traffic noise due to the direct location on the thoroughfare along the harbor. There are probably also rooms that face the inner courtyard or whose windows face another building, so that you have no view. When booking, you should pay attention to which room category you book and which view you can expect. Unfortunately, there were also some minor things that bothered us: The air conditioning units of the respective rooms are located on the balconies. We liked sleeping without air conditioning but with the balcony door open. We constantly heard the noise of the air conditioning units on the neighboring balconies. The one coffee machine in the breakfast restaurant always filled the cups with so much cappuccino that the cups often overflowed. The saucers were too small for the coffee cups, so that the coffee cups constantly slipped and almost fell off when you carried them to the table. The hotel bicycles were not in a bad technical condition. Fun fact: the lock on the bathroom door was on the side of the bedroom. For whatever reason. Conclusion: we would come again.

“Great staff in fun seaside town”

As you'll see in other reviews - this hotel feels a little dated. It's not the Four Seasons... but the staff and the location are great. They were very helpful with beach towels and directions and anything we needed, including help with a shirt that was left behind. The room comes with breakfast... more

As you'll see in other reviews - this hotel feels a little dated. It's not the Four Seasons... but the staff and the location are great. They were very helpful with beach towels and directions and anything we needed, including help with a shirt that was left behind. The room comes with breakfast, and in the summer we found also with either lunch or dinner. Didn't realize that when we booked, but the food was good. It's right in the heart of a fun, real Italian beach town with very few foreigners around.
