Hotel Manzi - Marina di Pisa Pisa

8.6

Marina di pisa is a beautiful town on the seafront. The hotel is situated within (literally) a stones throw of the sea and had gorgeous views from all the balconys. On top of the hotel you can see for miles around, with a backdrop of the mountains in the background on a clear day. Nice sunsets, and good albeit fairly basic rooms mean for a relaxing stay. Local food is great aswell with plenty of resturants. Buffet style breakfast is all thats needed, although possibly a bit more variety is needed. Buses every half hour that take you into Pisa for only 4 euros aswell. Only gripes are that none of the hotel staff, or much of the town, speak much english at all. However, even with very basic italian, we were fine. Overall a great stay and extremely friendly staff who did their best to help us find local resturants etc. Great views and brilliant sunsets, what more can you ask for the price!

Stayed at the hotel for one night, on our way to the northern part of Italy. We came by bus, and it stopped just around the corner from the hotel. When leaving, we had to walk a bit to the busstop, not recommended with heavy luggage. We thought it would be closer to the airport/center of Pisa than it was. Taxi was not recommended by information staff in the city because it would be to expensive. Pisa Marina was very quiet at this time of the year.

Your on the beach, so ideal for a family with younger children. However, this hotel like many others has marble/ceramic flooring in the rooms and halls, which means that any sounds are amplified like a megaphone. And if you know Italians (most of the visitors in the hotel), then you should know that they tend to have a much higher volume of speech than Westerners. Other than that small noise complaint the place is really clean, in the heart of an Italian Marina, with the kindest staff. Your also 1 hour from Florence via car and 8 minutes from Pisa. They close the main street on weekends in the Marina, and the locals stroll in it with gelato's and pizza's in their hands. Quit a social and enjoyable experience. oh, and the toilet is in the shower with you. Which is at odds with what is associated with cleansiness, but, you get used to it. Just close the lid and pretend it is not there ;)

service was great and it was nice to be at the seaside for a change.

We were across the street from the beach with lots of interesting areas nearby for exploration. The morning breakfast and coffee were very good. The staff were helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

Very friendly and competent staff. Even the fact we arrived at 1 am, we were very friendly welcomed. The majority of the rooms are located so they have direct seaview to the Mediterranian, several also have a small balcony. A minor thing, we are not to showers with fixed showerheads, but that is a matter of taste.

This is such a beautiful location--the town is quiet, you are right by the sea, a definite respite if you are touring around the country. The view from the rooms is unbelievable! Great place for walking and jogging. Internet point around the corner. Plenty of great seafood restaurants and grocery stores. Manzi is family run and staff are pleasant and helpful.

Staff was very helpful; even called to make a reservation for dinner for us (we needed a high chair) because it was a holiday and they knew restaurants might not be open.

Quite place with comopetent, gentle and helpful employees/owners. A real nice family business. What they miss in surroundings and luxury, they make up with kindness and courtesy.
