Lucy's House, elegante alloggio rustico con tutti i comfort moderni a Pisa

Det var litt som å komme hjem. Fantastisk hage som vi koste oss veldig i. Rommet var rent og nydelig. Her manglet det ingenting, og vertinnen Lucia er den vennligste og mest serviceinnstilte vertinnen vi har møtt på våre mange reiser. Kommer gjerne tilbake hit.

Ingenting å mislike her.

L’host è una persona eccezionale, super gentile e simpaticissima. L’alloggio è confortevole, pulitissimo e ben curato in ogni dettaglio. È situato in una zona di Pisa molto carina e tranquilla, a pochi minuti dalle principali attrazioni. Apprezzatissima la colazione, anche se non compresa nel prezzo

Logement très bien situé dans un quartier résidentiel calme tout en étant proche du centre historique de Pise, accessible en bus ou même à pied. Très belle chambre avec petit réfrigérateur, beau jardin avec tous les équipements nécessaires dont une piscine, un salon de jardin, des transats, une table pour manger. Tout était très propre et joliment décoré. Lucia nous a donné de très bons conseils et tout ce qu’il faut pour les petits déjeuners. Café , thé, tisanes à disposition dans la salle commune. Tout en restant discrète, Lucia a toujours veillé à ce que notre séjour se passe le mieux possible. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.

Location near Italian CNR which I was visiting. Bed was very comfortable.

The place was a little difficult to find because it is just a house in an isolated area. Check in started with a lot of time listening to instructions before we could go to the room and settle in after a long journey. All kind of restrictions -- can't eat or drink in the room and the way she acted in handling things gave out a loud and clear message that the she wants us to treat everything like it is so fragile. There was no desk to work on which is a must in hotel room for me. When I complained, she brought in a bench table with slats from the patio and moved a bamboo relaxing chair as work chair -- just a lousy work arrangement. Even that little move of the chair, she had to reach out to the floor and inspect/rub the spot on the floor to presumably remove scratches! After she left, we felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to use her property at all. All this, after paying some $170 per night in the small town of Pisa and in a rather isolated location. Not worth it at all. Almost no public transportation there and taxis are almost impossible to get if you don't speak Italian. The breakfast meant simply a coffee machine sitting in a common area where you are allowed to eat/drink plus a basket in our room with some packaged cookies and the like. That's not what you expect in a "house" for breakfast. After this experience, we will be careful to avoid private houses and instead always go to a commercial hotel. In fact, I mistakenly had thought that "Lucy's House" was merely a cozy name, not a real house, otherwise I will avoid it. Definitely not going there if we visit Pisa again.
