Santa Croce Hotel Pisa Reviews

4 out of 5

Charming place with a lot of character and idyllic courtyard. Rooms quite spartanic but very clean. The only downside: Shower door did not close completely. Staff was lovely and the hotel's bike hire is highly recommended for exploring Pisa.

The Santa Croce is a lovely, restful hotel built originally as a convent and restored in 2000 as a hotel. The rooms are deliberately plain but comfortable, with the original terracotta floor tiles and wooden shuttered windows. There is air-conditioning, our room had a merble-floored en-suite and a tv but the cloistered courtyard looks pretty much as it must have done centuries ago. The staff are very friendly and the Reception area is welcoming. There is secure, free parking and it's far easier to walk or catch a bus into the city centre than bother to move the car once you're there. Breakfast was ample and the evening menu very reasonably-priced. I would definitely recommend the Santa Croce and would stay there again. Really good value. On the plane home I met someone else who had stayed there recently and they were delighted with it, too.
