    The coffee was not included with the breakfast. The room was small.

    Outside of the town so was nice and quiet and right on the sea front. Staff were very warm and welcoming. We were just unlucky with the weather.

    Nothing, everything was great!

    Excellent stay close to Livorno! The room was small, but we had everything we needed. Our room was the last available one, so we had street view. With ocean view would be perfect. It was very clean. We loved the location because it's on the beach and the style of the hotel. The breakfast was also very good, with view to the sea. Staff was very kind and gave us all the information about the things we asked. There's also free parking very close to the entrance. Thank you for this pleasant stay.

    The room was quite small considering that the villa seems big. Breakfast rather 'Italian' without many possibilities.

    Perfect location directly at the beach. Beautiful villa. Friendly stuff. Breakfast quite okay

    As we were in low season, the pool was not open and the restaurant did not serve lunch or dinner but we did not chose the hotel specifically for that.

    Good breakfast, reasonably priced with plenty of choice. Located a few kilometres from the old town and port, there were still plenty of restaurants nearby. Lovely view of the sea and the hotel was very attractive. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean.

    Hotel itself needs exterior renovation just as courtyard. Breakfast is pretty basic with no hot meals. Overall ok experience but not worth asked rate the one night.

    Location was pretty nice 10m from the beach. Really nice hotel terrace overlooking beach and beautiful panoramic view. Plenty of parking in front of the hotel.

    The breakfast could have been better. The shower had curtains with stains (not very hygienic). Although still very happy with the stay!

    Fair price, comfy bed/pillows, free private parking, friendly staff, good location, very nice rooms and villa with conservative restoration in of front of the sea! Will be definitely staying again!

    It is very well located at the sea side, with easy access into the Livorno City Center. The reception is exceptionally friendly and professional to make your stay really worthwhile, certainly given the price-performance ratio. The rooms are fully renovated and luxurious, including large windows. Breakfast is very good quality and again great service. And very convenient to park the car at the property. Thank you for an excellent stay

    . - the hotel looks beautiful but on the second look you will notice it could use some fixing - the room could be little more spacious, no place to dry your swimsuits - not much around, the closest restaurants still tooks some time to walk - the close "shopping centre" looked like from 50 years ago - no nice beach around

    Beautiful hotel to stay for few nights. + terrace with a sea view + pool with few private sunbeds (howver the gate to the sea was unfortunately closed due to covid) + parking in the yard + tasty breakfast + friendly and helpful staff

    We could not have a diner since the restaurant was closed due to covid and the surrounding does not offer proper diner facilities as expected in Toscana.

    hotel is very well positioned and met all our expectations

    The Hotel is rather newly renovated, but misses the final touch in some places. Also, you can see that the renovation was done on a budget. Some decoration would help, and the rooms would have profited greatly from some bolder color choices.

    Clean, very friendly staff, takes COVID very seriously. Hotel has private parking inside the perimeter, and the rooms are spacious.

    The person at the reception welcoming us was really not… welcoming us. Not a smile, she answered generically to a couple of questions… not good.

    The exterior is scary. It looks like nothing has been touched since the 80thies. The view is spectacular and our room was refurbished, essential but very clean. All in all a good hotel.

    The best hotel I have ever stayed

    I stayed only for one night of a business trip (September). Since I was on a very variable schedule, I had to be continuously in contact with the reception in terms of my arrival time - they were always available and very supportive (even though I arrived an hour after the maximum check in time). The hotel is on an excellent location by the sea, which offers the opportunity to walk - we walked on 7 am. Amazing breakfast. The most important is the excellent building of the hotel - we actually reffered to it with my colleagues as "the mansion".

    It's a little farther from places we were from and fun transportation we needed. We had some trouble getting there at night and leaving the next day. Whenever we return, we will be sure to have a car. 😌

    The hotel is gorgeous and well kept. The view from every window is breathtaking. The building is well preserved without being stuffy or ancient. Everyone in the staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. When we mentioned being gluten intolerant, they made up a cute breakfast basket for us, with lots of gf products. Very thoughtful! They also recommended several restaurants to us. One that we went to had amazing gf pizza. Yum! They recommended transportation to us when we left for the train station.
