Toscana Charme Resort

Lovely bright and modern hotel. Clean and cool (in very hot weather). Two lovely pools. The main pool has a great shallow area for kids with a gentle slope and it has soft padding underfoot. The rooftop pool was beautiful and had a nice vibe with chill out music and a bar serving cocktails etc. Close to the beach although you do have to pay extra to use it and it was very busy (we were there in August). It also has a decent beach bar/restaurant, although you should book ahead on weekends. Our room was huge, comfortable and clean with excellent blinds to keep it cool and dark at night/early mornings. Staff were helpful, mostly friendly and some clearly very hard working (some did breakfast, lunch and dinner service). Loved the breakfast. Great choice, plenty of it and all delicious.

The house is wonderfully light and clean and spacious, I loved the modern feeling when I came in. Staff were super friendly, the room was bigger than I’d expected with a beautiful new bathroom. The rooftop restaurant is fantastic and the sunset view with the infinity pool unbeatable. I was there by car and found it very conveniently located to visit Pisa and Lucca. I will definitely go back.

Though gray and expressionless from outside, the inside is surprisingly modern and has many comfortable corners. Two pools provide plenty of lounging opportunities and the sunset view from the roof is priceless. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Staff was very welcoming and accommodating to small requests. There is bus stop just outside the hotel and it was possible to rent e-bikes on spot (25 EUR a day) to tour around.

The breakfast buffet was good (see below as well). The room was comfortable, with a small balcony facing the street. Good solid metal blinds keep the morning sun out of your room. Daily cleaning is perfect. They wash the floor daily. The rooftop restaurant is good, and the view is excellent. We had dinner there the first night and it exceeded our expectations. Also, during the day the pool is a nice place to relax - 16+ year restrictions keep most kids at the ground-floor pool and playground.

We had some mixed feelings before our visit due to the feedback provided so far from other guests but we had a real positive surprise. The hotel was recently renovated. Our room was very cozy and clean. The staff was always nice to us. The location is pretty good. You are directly at the beach and or you can do some day trips like us (e.g. 1 hour for visiting Florence - we visited the hotel with our car so not sure how it is with guided tours etc.). The breakfast is ordinary but you have everything you would need to start your day. I recommend to at least have dinner one time at the beach and at the rooftop (we had to pay separately - maybe it is included In the halfboard option). It is a nice experience to enjoy the sunset at both locations. So for sure it is not an All Inclusive Ressort with full coverage of all meals etc. but overall it was a nice experience. Plus I really liked the concept on how they handle the beach. You have to pay per row (e.g. reservation of 1st, 2nd row at the beach etc.). In the price included is the umbrella plus two sunbeds. You will get a dedicated number and you don‘t have to fight with other guests for a place at the beach. We were visiting in August and to be honest we never had the feeling that it was overcrowded with guests. If you are visiting as a family: the have a kids entertainment team at the beach plus due to a sandbank the water depth is not so high - you can walk a small distance before the water depth becomes deep. ++ the infinity pool was really cool!
