We stayed only two nights at this exceptional hotel in Pescia. We arrived by train, and fortunately the hotel was not far from the station. Everything was excellent: the check-in, our first-floor room, and the breakfast! We also visited the exquisite restaurant for our dinner - we were served a very tasty vegan dish, pasta with aubergine and beans, after which we had a superb lemon sorbet. The staff at the reception and in the restaurant were very kind and helpful. We also have to mention that the decoration and unique objects in the entrance hall and in the corridors were truly amazing! We spotted several cute figures of Pinocchio in the hotel and learned from a brochure about the connection of Pescia to his writer, Carlo Collodi! His real name was Carlo Lorenzini; he was born in Firenze, but spent his childhood with his maternal grandmother in Collodi, a village near Pescia and our hotel! The idea of writing about Pinocchio was conceived there, and that is why he took his pen name Carlo Collodi. We sincerely hope that we can come back to stay longer in this hotel and explore Pescia!
