Hotels near Monte Castellare

"This hotel was the worst experience. We got to Pisa around 9:00 PM, took a taxi to the hotel, and found nobody at the lobby because they leave at 8:00 PM. I later discovered they had sent me a message explaining how to check in by myself and that the actual room was located three blocks away from the main hotel building. When you are traveling in a foreign country with no Wi-Fi, sending a message like this the same day is completely useless. This is something guests should be clearly told before booking. The whole point of renting a hotel instead of an Airbnb is to avoid situations where you are left to figure everything out yourself late at night in an unfamiliar place. When we arrived, there was also an older couple there who looked terrified because it was dark and they did not understand the technology or self check-in process. After spending time helping them because we could not just ignore the situation, we started walking through dark streets with no idea where we were heading. There were groups of mostly men standing on both corners near the property, and as three women carrying heavy luggage, we immediately felt unsafe. We ran back to the hotel and messaged the host explaining that we were scared, and their response was basically, “Pisa is very safe.” Safety is something people should always take seriously and be preventative about, especially when guests are unfamiliar with the area. After unsuccessfully trying to get another taxi, we finally decided to walk there"

"The rooftop bar is such an incredible view. I was able to invite friends to watch the sunset. The room was incredibly large with a great bathroom. Loved the relaxed breakfast - great choice of food and drinks The airconditioning was not working and so the room temperature was uncomfortably warm when the weather was sunny. The staff were helpful and moved me to a higher room so that I could have the windows open with less noise from the street."

"Hotel was easy to find and nice. My room was not in the main building but rather in a separate building in a courtyard, as a solo female traveller I was initially a bit unsettled by this as people on the street could have access to my room door. The room itself was small but had everything I needed."

"The breakfast buffet was amazing and full of options. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. The thermal spas were relaxing but recommend early so it’s not packed with people. The hotel itself was incredibly hot in hallways due to thermal spas but front desk delivered fan directly to room when asked for. However, if you ask for “garden view” room, it is view from hallway directly outside bedroom which only windows open up to hallway. It is about 15-20 minute drive from Pisa centrale so be prepared for cab fare. But are delish places to eat/drink within walking distance. "

"An amazing, cozy vintage place, well equipped, full of charm, and run by genuinely kind people who make you feel very welcome. Perfect as a base for exploring the area or for a peaceful break if you’re working nearby"

"It’s a beautiful place but without modern amenities. It needs work and no where near to the 4 star hotel facilities. Was also charged for an extra cot which was already paid. Read instructions well after booking."

"Everything was above our expectations. "

"staff very helpful, "

"The hotel is in a old manor house in a small village, located about halfway between Lucca and Pisa. It was hard to find when we first arrived. If you like peace and quiet in the countryside, then this location is ideal. There are a few restaurants on the main road between Lucca and Pisa, but their opening hours are unpredictable. The hotel staff is friendly and breakfast is adequate."
