A rather belated review I'm afraid but one which I am determined to submit of the wonderful stay I and my family enjoyed at the Sole Antico in September.
I am very fmiliar with Viareggio, having stayed here for many years with friends. However, as this was not possible this year I found myself for the first time looking for a night's accommodation to visit our friends and stop in this great sea-side city on our way north to Liguria to the Cinque Terre.
I chose the Sole Antico based on the TA reviews and am pleased I did - all the positive reviews are well founded and if like us, you are looking for a small cosy family run B&B rather than a large corporate hotel, but which is very beautiful, immaculately clean and has great character - then you will not go wrong here!
As has been mentioned many times, the hosts are a wonderful and very friendly family (including the dog "Mackenzie"!), the rooms beautiful and very comfortable, and the breakfast to die for!. The location is also great - I had been concerned that it would be too far away to walk to the attractions, but not at all, it's close to shops, a great simple and very reasonably priced family restaurant around the corner recommended to us, and only a 5-10 minute walk through the beautiful pine forrest to the passeggiata, the beach and sea.
My only regret is that our stay was for one night only - it will be for longer next time as I wouldn't hesitate returning and wouldn't consider anywhere else when staying again in beautiful Viareggio.
