ADDITIONAL INFO: Independent 'PISA SHORT BREAK' holiday
The hotel is surely one of the most prestigious in Pisa. The central but sheltered street on which the Hotel is located is just 500 meters from the train station. The Cathedral (Duomo), the main thoroughfare (Corso) and all of the principal tourist sights can be easily reached on foot.
Guests with cars can take advantage of the Hotel's inner courtyard to park their vehicles securely. Throughout your trip, you will be given a special permit that allows you to access streets where traffic limitations are in force.
ATMOSPHERE The hotel welcomes its guests with an air of measured elegance. You are sure to come across a whole range of surprises that will leave you feeling deeply satisfied. The soft colours of the decor are made all the more intimate by the carefully designed lighting. The attention-to-detail is unrivalled, both in terms of the interior design of the Hotel and the attitude of the staff. Apprehensive, frenzied, distracted? Relax, take your time. Whether you're on vacation or on a business trip, the atmosphere here is guaranteed to make you feel right at home.
THE STAFF Our youthful team of staff has what it takes to ensure that you get the maximum enjoyment from your stay at the Hotel. The fully multi-lingual staff members are on hand throughout the day, ready to respond to the requirements of a diverse range of guests of all ages from all corners of the globe. Our personnel are experts in delivering the value-add service on which we pride ourselves. Those who work in the Hotel have an in-depth knowledge of the city and the surrounding area, and they will be delighted to recommend the best museums to visit and excursions to take while you are here. Moreover, this being Italy, you can be sure to receive a host of tips on the very best restaurants in the area.
QUALITY For over 50 years now, the Gherardi family - owners of the Hotel - have been committed to providing first-class hospitality, based on courtesy and on the continual refinement of the services offered to meet the needs of the modern traveller. This is, then, a constantly evolving establishment, but quality always has been, and will remain, priority number one. To this end, the hotel undergoes an annual inspection process aimed at retaining the Quality Mark, which is a form of certification issued by the Italian Chambers of Commerce in recognition of the excellent service offered by a select group of accommodation establishments. In every room: SKY pay-tv in 4 languages, wi-fi connection, safety deposit box, mini-bar, adjustable heating, 24/7 room service.
THE TERRACE There is also a terrace, sheltered by the lush cypresses in the elegant courtyard. Sitting under the parasols, surrounded by verdant plants and wicker furniture, you will feel the full benefit of the tranquil atmosphere. You can have breakfast here, or enjoy an aperitif before dinner, or perhaps just settle back to read a good book.
WHERE The central but sheltered street on which the Hotel is located is just 500 meters from the train station. The Cathedral (Duomo), the main thoroughfare (Corso) and all of the main tourist sights can be easily reached on foot. The nearest motorway exit is the A12 PISA CENTRO, while the exit from the regional highway that links Florence, Pisa and Livorno is just 3km away.

virtually all hotels in each of the places presented, we believe
these hotels offer the best combination of price and quality
available.

Break. For packages with airport transfers included, please note
the following differences;
i). Airport transfer train tickets only: Transfer train tickets

where we will meet you on your arrival and take you to your hotel
either by car or mini-bus.
5. Fly-Drive holidays: these short-breaks are typically
in places that are not served by regular public transport or
areas deserving further independent exploration under your own
steam. Therefore, we thoroughly recommend that you arrange car-hire
at your point of arrival in Italy, or use your own car if driving
down.
6. All our Short Breaks can be extended by as many days as you
wish - please ask for a quotation.
