Santa Maria of Sasso Sanctuary

Lovely hotel just outside the centre. We had a superior double. Pros Great room in the circular tower with the most amazing full semi circle floor to ceiling window and sweeping balcony. We could see the leaning tower from our bed, fabulous. Modern room. Comfy bed, big TV, safe, fridge, coffee machine, chairs to sit by the tv, large good bathroom, nice shower. Good location about 15 minute walk to the centre along an easy to follow footpath, you do have to pass under a fairly noisy unpleasent traffic tunnel but theres pedestrian paths. Views of the tower. Polite friendly staff on check in and the bar area. We didnt use the restaurant but it looked very nice. Parking available but at a 15 euro charge Cons (we were out of season) Pool and sky lounge closed which was a shame as the weather was lovely. Its advertised as 5 star and im sure the facilities and rooms warrent this, but dont expect a uk style 5 star savoy lol. The corridors had very warn dirty carpets, broken mirrors, bin in the room broken, mould in the shower. Nothing terrible that impacts your stay as such just to be aware of. Although they are not charging 5 star prices so that should tell you what you need to know. Extremely happy with a fabulous room and view, would definitely stay again

This is very remote from Pisa downtown, nice and quiet but you can only eat the hotel food.

Great position and ambience. Classic Italian.
