This hidden gem(difficult to find,too) is between Pisa and Florence. The staff was very helpful in assisting two gringo's on their first trip to N. Italy. The Villa is beautiful and the rooms very private and nicely decorated. The gardens and breakfast buildings were lovely.

A great way to be introduced to other vacationers from all parts of Europe. I think we were the only US.

We arrived at the Villa Maya late one night in November - our first time in Italy and had found driving from the Airport a challenge!! Hard enough to find on a dark foggy night, so we were really glad when we got there..no food anywhere to be found, however we did manage to order a bottle of wine which we drank in our room and thoroughly enjoyed!!
We felt the breakfast wasn't up to much, but the rooms and surroundings made up for it - we thought it was good value for money, but then coming from Ireland most places things seem like a bargain!

What does this hotel have in its favour.. well, the rooms are simple but OKAY, it has a nice garden, and it's close to Pisa airport.

I booked it because I had read some reasonable reviews, and indeed there were positive reviews in the visitors book, however,

The service was non-existent. (Neither good, nor bad, just not there!) At breakfast we were shown to our table where everything was do-it-yourself (including one of those automatic drinks dispensers that dispenses everything from coffee, teak, hot milk, hot chocolate etc) .. in Italy.. the home of good coffee?

Upon arrival we were handed the remote controls to the TVs (who steals a remote from a hotel these days?) and read the clauses ( to avoid nasty suprises, we remind you that eating in the common areas is forbidden, .. you are asked to cehck out by 11::00, failure to do so will incurr a penalty of 10 euros per half hour... etc) This is real, not an exageration!

A huge dissapointment, and not cheap either given the hotel we had just left in Venice. I felt more like the place was a youth hostel than a hotel.

You can tell I never was a boy scout, could not find this place in the fog! Basically in the middle of nowhere, rooms very dark, moved from one room in what seemed to be a converted stable the the main block, not much better. No restaurant, The nearest place to eat is @ 25 mins away! Breakfast really no good, tried it only once on our three night stay. The coffee is like dish water. Bread like rubber !

One of the most depressing hotels I have ever stayed in.

Don't do it Chuck!
