My partner and i were in need of a rest and the Calamidoro was great. A real old building which oozes character and charm set in some lovely grounds. No its not in the country, no its not by the sea... but as a base to explore Tuscany, you are right in the middle. Very nice and attentive staff.. who... More

This hotel is about 20 min drive from the airport. Yes it was in the middle of an industrial park (but you have fields of sunflowers out back and a mini driving range as well as beautiful gardens). I loved being close to shops as we had lovely places close by to go out and eat and the jazz bar... More

Gated community, villa style accommodations, staff very accommodating and helpful, gave us wine and mutchies while we waited on our rooms to be readied. Good breakfast variety. Excellent experience at the their restaurant - great food, great service, beautiful decor...we went back several times. The pizzeria was a disappointment however. Only one wait staff for the whole room and we... More

We spent one night at the Calamidoro Hotel. It is in the weirdest location ever! you are right in the middle of a run down industrial area with no view whatsoever and it does not look like Tuscany at all! The Hotel is part of a larger development with a small shopping mall, a disco club and a petrol station.... More

Maybe, if I had stayed there on a private vacation, I'd have been happier with the hotel. It is in an old villa, very charming. However, there were quitena lotnof things I did not like - it was impossible to switch off the air conditioning, there was music playing all the time in the corridors which you could hear in... More

This was a lovely Hotel, picked at random, but we were very pleased with our choice. We had a private ground floor self contained 'apartment' with a mezzanine bedroom, not like a conventional hotel room on a dull corridor. Outside our front door there was a patio where we could sit in the sun. The room was cool, the bedroom... More

This hotel is located outside Pisa which is what we wanted as we wanted to pop into Pisa for a few hours but we were not bothered to stay in the city itself. The hotel has a grand entrance (which is difficult to find) and the rooms are small but clean. The area surrounding the hotel is very pretty with... More

Beautiful villa in Tuscany .An Aside main road but the place is isolated from traffic and noise. Very quiet and relaxing place to romantic holiday. Roomy and well equipped room. Indulgent stuff. You must have a car go to anywhere.

How do you rate a hotel is the question? Stars are fa airly meaningless guide. To my wife and I the facilities are important, but if something is not correct then the attitude of the staff is critical. Location and ambiance is also a highly rated factor. The Calamidoro has all these factors. It is favorably situated 6km North of... More
