Tuscany Hotel Experience?
 
Pisa - Royal Victoria Hotel
Siena - Palazzo Fani Mignanelli
Montepulciano - Meuble Il Riccio
Volterra - Hotel La Locanda

Anyone stayed in these places?

hi rebroc,

the only one I can help you with is the Royal Victoria in Pisa. in fact we've stayed there twice - once over 25 years ago when there were just the two of us, and about 18 months ago with our big "kids".

the public rooms seem to have change little in the last 35 years, [or possibly the last 135 years] but our bedrooms were tiny compared to what we had the first time, when the bathroom was the size of our bedroom at home, and the bedroom itself was HUGE.

we never got as far as the rood terrace as it wasn't open when we were in the hotel, but the other public rooms were as lovely and quirky as we remembered.

regards, ann

I stayed at Palazzo Fani Mignanelli and loved it in every way. Great location too.

I trust you've already looked at www.tripadvisor.com for a wider selection of reviews. There's also www.venere.it.

Tripadvisor is how I made my hotel choices. But, I like to hear from Fodorites as well.

I've heard that Il Riccio can arrange a car rental? I also read somewhere that they have laundry service. Any experience with this Fodorites?
