Séjour à Empoli

Hotel très bien situé . Notre chambre étais un peu petite et le sol n'était pas propre à coté du lit il y avais du sable. Par contre la chambre de nos amis était très bien grande et propre. Personnels très sympathique et très bon accueil.

Good location between Firenze & Pisa

What we liked most was the excellent location. After long days on our feet the train dropped us almost at the front door. Rooms are small, but very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time of rest there. I would recommended it to anyone who wants to see Florence and Pisa and only want to stay in one place.

Perfect Location

Lovely family run hotel ideally located opposite rail station in Empoli. Ideal for visiting Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Sienna by train. Great value compared to city hotels. Empoli a lovely historic town a short walk from hotel. Breakfast inclusive with a buffet of cold meats, breads, pastries and lovely coffee.

The only thing I didn’t like, which is normal for Italy is reusing the towels. When we left a dirty towel in the floor- it was placed back in the cabinet. Another thing, the bed is very uncomfortable.

As a solo traveller wanting to explore Tuscany, this hotel is perfectly placed for train and bus. Charming brother and sister giving help and advice if needed. My single room a bit small for a week, but all clean and nice bathroom. Thoroughly enjoyed my week there.
