Palaia Hotels

The hotel interior is really authentic Tuscan-Style. The house has many corners, stairs, little balconies, hidden seats, etc. It's perfetcly suited for a relaxing stay - with bad weather in the house or with good weather in the garden at the pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful, most speak english or other languages. The included restaurant serves a small but very good and house-made selection of Italian and Tuscan cuisine - either in the garden (at the pool, very romantic!) or in the lower parts of the house with a very nice vault setting. The location is perfectly suited for trips to Pisa, Florenz, or Lucca (45min.). The 4-lane state road is very close, but far enough away to be in an absolutely quiet surrounding. The only (small) issue is about the breakfast: For Italian standards it's quiet extensive for German standards its limited in case of fruits, cheese, meat and also variants of bread and pastries. However, cheese or similar can be ordered on request, the staff always tries to accomodate you.

It was a unique setting and property. We would recommend staying here and cant wait to return one day this time for longer.

The hotel and grounds are excellent lovelly swimming pool with ample beds and chairs, staff very pleasant and rooms very clean and comfortable. Breakfast could be better, kettle and hot drink facilities for rooms would be nice.
