Red House of Ximenes Tours and Activities

Rooms were good. All television channels are in Italian if you are someone who doesn’t speak the language and wants to watch TV. There’s a nice big window that opens up so you can get fresh air however there’s no outdoor space so we personally felt trapped inside the hotel room, especially considering there is not much around the hotel itself. You have to travel to the downtown area (by car- which is about a 14 min drive or 40 min walk) to have any sort of entertainment. Same with food, the closest place we found was a pizza spot that was about a 7 minute drive. We didn’t enjoy the inland city at night, we actually felt a bit unsafe. However by the water at night time seemed much better. Air conditioning in the hotel was great. Bathroom was beautiful and clean. If you’re planning on doing a bunch of day trips to surrounding cities then this is a good spot. Pisa is 20 minutes away, Florence and Luca are 1 hour, and Siena is 1 hour 50 min. Just make sure you bring snacks and water to your hotel room as again, there is no where near to get it (at night specifically).
