We booked this hotel for one evening to go and see the Carnival. Booked the day before on booking.com and arrived around midday for early check in and the room was ready. The lady was really helpful and suggested that she could save us 5 euros each by buying us tickets for the carnival at the 'hotel guest tariff', which she did.

Our room was very small and it didn't look like it had received any recent attention - very stuffy and a bit dusty. Furniture is essential and modest and the bed spreads could do with a bit of a modern touch (!) but the bed linen was clean and the bathroom was really nice and modern (the shower was great!). The room also had a small safe, hairdryer and TV.

The hotel is in a very good location - it's close enough to the sea and where all the action happens but far enough to be quiet at night.

Breakfast was really nice and I must agree with the other reviews that the owner is definitely very nice and will help you out with anything you need.

Bonus for me was that wi-i is supposedly charged at 4 euros, but it was actually free.

The price was really good compared to other hotels with worse reviews. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay if you're not planning to spend a lot of time at the hotel.

Upon arrival at this hotel, we were told that the owner had overbooked & that she would put us in a neighboring hotel (since we had pre-paid). The hotel we stayed in was very uncomfortable & not of the same quality as the hotel we booked. Nonetheless, the owner did offer to allow us to eat breakfast at her hotel (a very nice buffet breakfast, unlike the dry toast & coffee at the other hotel). It seemed as if she might be doing all the marketing and filling rooms for nearby hotels, as she had signs around the town & an Internet presence where few others did. If it were truly a mistake in overbooking, I would have thought an upgrade or refund more appropriate (as a former innkeeper, that is what I would have done).

Hotel Vittoria was delightful for our family. It is situated about 3 blocks from the beach walk where there are many cafes and shopping boutiques. Several good restaurants are close by, Cafe's on the beach walk can be hit or miss.

The staff is more than freindly and is willing to help you with anything they can. Paola even arranged to get us a wheelchair for Nonna from a local charity at n/c.

The rooms are simple but clean with nice working air conditoners ( needed in the 30 C weather even in September) even though the bathroom was a little small. Good WiFi is avaialble at minimal cost as is parking just on the street.

A very nice breakfast is included with eggs, bacon, all kinds of pastry and breads untill 10 AM which we enjoyed every day.

All in all it was a very comfortable place to spend 5 adys at a very reasonable ( for Italy) cost.

I really liked this familyrun hotel right by the big pine-park. Both mother and daughter were doing their best to make us comfortable and gave many helpful advises. Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. We will certainly stay here again if we are ever in this part of Tuscany.
