Amazing views, friendly staff, great pool! Only negative is the 10min mountain single track roads to get to it. However, it is most definitely worth the trek! You can see the Tower of Pisa from the rooms.

Prego, prego, prego!

We had an amazing time staying here. Our only issue was we booked for one night. We only wish we would have had more days! Beautiful view! Excellent service! We took the train into San Giuliano Terme. At the time, there were no taxis around, and couldn't come for quite a while. The hotel staff were wonderful enough to come down the mountain twice and pick us up so that we were not stranded; otherwise, we would have had 1-hour walk up to the hotel. We can't wait until we come back for a longer stay! Grazie!

Poolside relaxing family holiday

We are a family of 6 and stayed in one of the apartments. The kitchen was very limited, no microwave, or oven and limited utensils. There was no laundry facilities. Wi-Fi was limited. The grounds are beautifully maintained with flowering plants and trees shading the courtyard. The pool is wonderful for families looking for a few days of relaxing, it has a spectacular view over the valley and out to the ocean. The restaurant on-site only offered half the dishes on the menu. It is essential to have your own car.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel has a lot of potential - conveniently located between Pisa and Lucca, a beautiful view and a restaurant that seems to be open in the summer only. However, we didn't enjoy our stay due to a number of drawbacks. This hotel is at the end of a very long, windy road on top of a mountain, further from the main road than it appears on Google Maps. The hotel room was warm but the reception and common areas seemed unheated. The shower was also just lukewarm. We only stayed one night, but we noticed that you have to pay extra to have the sheets or (flimsy) towels changed the second day. Even though they don't provide breakfast, it is not possible to check out until 9AM.

This is a fabulous hotel to escape to. Set up in the hills it's a paradise in which to relax. The restaurant is great and the pool perfect for cooling off. I hope to one day have the chance to return. Perfect in every way.

A view to die for, but hire a car !!!

The view and setting is just amazing. However, we arrived to find Restaurant & Bar closed for the season. The nearest being 4 miles away down a very steep hill. We were in an Apt, and were left to our own devices for the week. No cleaner, no fresh towels and no new toilet paper. But I have to say, for the setting, view and general feel of staying there, I put up with that any day. Would definitely return

Good for chill out not the best for sightseeing

Good place if you want to chill out but if you haven't been to Italy before you probably want to something in the city not far up on the hill. Though the view and location is worth it. We went there for three days. Visitors are mostly families so expect sharing pool with children/teenagers. If you don't hire a car a taxi from Pisa airport is about 25-30 Eur. Going down the mountain on foot is about 30-40min (use the other path not the one for cars check Google maps for directions on foot) but at the bottom there's a bus stop (blue line) going directly to Pisa and Pisa airport via St Giuliano therme. 2.5Eur per person usually but once we got it for free. Bus goes more or less hour interval. Use Google maps to check the times. A dinner on site is about 40Eur for a couple. Food was good although you might still feel hungry so its best to have something with you especially if you arrive hungry at 3pm and have to wait 5hours for dinner at 8pm.

A gem in the hills of Tuscany

Having read previous reviews we knew what to expect. The road up to the hotel is steep with 6 hairpins. But its worth it!!!! Beautiful setting, lovely pool area and rooms were perfectly adequate, if rural in design and feel. The previous comment re towels was funny........when in Rome! Just take your own pool towel, the cotton ones provided are perfect for a pat down after a shower.

Scenic views from the grounds over Pisa

an unusual hotel with a mix of bedrooms and self-catering. Breakfast at the hotel is expensive 15euro so try to get a self catering room. Views are stunning over Pisa and the pool is well maintained. Access is a challenge, first time around, the sign is right at the entrance road and looks like someone's drive. So when you see the yellow sign it is there, the 2500m refers to the drive up to the hotel. It is a series of tight bends but keep going the biggest challenge is getting the car up to the car park which is a very steep gradient. Room was nice, with air con, small windows (as is the Italian way) to keep the room cool. Staff were very nice, friendly and spoke good English. Wi-Fi on the terrace was a big attractions with everyone sitting round with their mobile devices, quite funny to see. Diner on the terrace should be had at least once to have the view over Pisa and the food was good and reasonable value.

Beautiful place, but need service improvement

The residence is in a wonderful position on top of Monti Pisani: you can spot the Pisa tower and Lago di Massacciuccoli from the same spot. However, the service needs improvement, mainly related to finding the room sufficiently cleaned and with all required items. The good thing is that if you ask, then you get what you are supposed to. However, you shouldn't need to do that. Moreover, all the greenery of the residence need much more care and maintenance to keep up a good quality standard. Restaurant has good food at reasonable price and the swimming pool is well cleaned and serviced.

Nice Hotel with Excellent View, not good road

this hotel is in a top of the hill, the road is not that good and no lighting at night, make sure you will arrive in the hotel before dark. But the view from this hotel is excellent, and good for families. The staff can not speak english well even though they are quite helpful

The pool is amazing

We had a lovely 7 night stay in this self catering apartment. The hotel was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel can be a little tricky to first locate off the road ( you need to look out for a yellow sign on a side of the building). The drive is up a very windy narrow road but it was all part of the experience and as long as you take it slowly perfectly safe. But this means a car is a must. Nice and close to station which you can catch a train into Pisa which I would highly recommend. Only 1.40 euros each way per person which can be purchased from the tourist information at the station. Just be aware hardly any trains run into Pisa on a Sunday. The only thing that was a problem with the accomodation is there was no air conditioning when we booked we were told you always got a breeze so you didn't need it but I would have to disagree although a fan is provided it was just too hot to sleep at night. There is a supermarket about 5 mins from the apartments. The pool was fantastic you had great views and there were always sun loungers available even if you had to do a bit of juggling everytime you went to the pool. It was a perfect little gem up in the hills. So although it was tucked away you were never far away from anything. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Scenic in the hills above Pisa

Stayed only one night before visiting the Tower of Pisa the following morning. As other reviewers have noted the entrance road leading to the Hotel is a mountain goat track with a small turn off from Lucca – Pisa road. The bed was comfortable and there was hot water with reasonable water pressure. (+) Positives + The view is spectacular and for those who want to get out of the city this is a great option + The hotel is a mere 10-15 minute drive to Pisa (The Leaning Tower) first thing in the morning. This provided the perfect launch pad for our visit to the Tower + The villa was too big for my wife and I, but think it was great value for the traveling family + There was free WiFi in the reception area, we didn’t use it but a number of guests were taking advantage of this + A nice pool area and as mentioned restaurant/bar services are available + Staff are friendly and always willing to help (-) Negatives - You do need a car if you want to visit this hotel. Do not book if you are using public transport as you will never make it up the hill! - Parking was located above the accommodation areas and the steps leading there was quite treacherous. There was also a shortage of parks for guests, this was mainly due to inefficient parking by guests rather than the allocation of space. - Breakfast was an additional fee but we had to leave before it was available so cannot comment on the variety, quality or value.

Hotel Le Capanne near Pisa

We had been recommended to this hotel by a family member and were not disappointed. It's not easy to find, and the drive up the treacherous hairpin bends is fairly nerve-wracking, but it's well worth the effort. The hotel is beautifully situated, calm and peaceful, with lovely tree-shaded terraces and a fabulous pool. It's near to Pisa and Lucca and only an hour from Florence so there's heaps to do and see. The only downside is the food at the hotel, not good, much better to go into Lucca which has some lovely, inexpensive, restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend Le Capanne for anyone looking for a peaceful holiday with the option to sightsee.

High on a hill

Amazing views from this hotel across Pisa and the surrounding countryside. You can even see the leaning tower from the poolside area. Rooms were comfortable plenty of car parking but be aware do not always trust the GPS coordinates as there a few other hill top hotels nearby so first of all find the sign on the main roadside and then a sharp turn takes you up the winding road to a fantastic place with vistas to die for. What a find!

Disappointing

This hotel looked beautiful in the pictures and it was when we got there however there is no mention anywhere on the internet that the hotel is up a very steep path on the mountain. When we got to the top the one restaurant was closed and since we were not told about this, there was nothing to eat until the following morning. We were not comfortable traveling up and down the mountain in the dark and therefore did not stay there as planned. The service was not good; when we got there we were told that there would be no one working there at night because it was their day off. The pool was also closing at 7pm when we got there. I would not recommend this as a base to see Tuscany unless you are very comfortable driving up and down the steep, unlit mountain road it takes to get there.

what a fine. having survived the drive up to the hotel we were delighted with what we found , full of characters and staffed by characters. An Italian wedding during the evening added to the atmosphere but did not affect the levels of service nor the quality of food served in the restaurant. the pool was a welcome sight after the heat of a Pisan afternoon and a nice way to start the morning before flying home a lovely place to stay

Horrible

It was 5 kilometers from the highway to the top of a hill using horrible, curvy roads. It was not in Pisa. They did not survey dinner until the owner arrived after 8 PM and we were not notified. Breakfast was not included as stated. It was 10 Euro each for one croissant,coffee and cereal. It was a farm house with no service. The towels were table clothes. It was cold and not heat.
