Hotel Giardino

clean and cozy

no instruction for wifi and heating system

convenient location, very helpful staff, good bang for the buck. I had a very late check in, like, really late, almost too early for the next day, however the front desk gentleman was really nice to help me get some rest for the remainder of the night. Although my shower took forever to turn hot and I almost run out of time and had to get back on the road I still enjoyed this old school hotel in the building that is at least a hundred years old.

besides lack of hot water everything was just great

Located in the heart of Follonica, the hotel is perfect for a city break or a beach holiday. Boasting spacious rooms and a nice breakfast room view on the roof terrace, it's good value for money. A home-feel atmosphere and a very welcoming staff made my stay the most pleasant.

Arrived 11pm on a Sunday in November after a long drive from Rome airport. Made very welcome and the room was a comfortable surprise with plenty space and a large bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was pretty standard with no frills but perfectly adequate. Would like to return in the future and have more chance to explore the local area.

So surprised to see how large this room was after staying in so many small places the last month.. Room 125 is a corner room with great views. Staff were friendly and so was the little dog named Roy, Breakfast was included in the rate and could have been a little better. Lots of sweets which we don't eat. Maybe some cheese or meat could be added. They did make us cappuccino which was good. I hope to return to this property next time we are in that area.

Follonica was very enjoyable, and Hotel Giardino can be recommended. It is wothin easy walking distance of the beach , perhaps 5-6 city blocks. We found parking in the street nearby on Saturday evening which we were grateful for. And to find our room excellent and quiet with shutters to make the room dark to sleep was good. We also enjoyed a good breakfast which completed the experience.

This is an Italian hotel in an Italian holiday resort, so expect to have to try some spoken Italian, nothing fancy, just basic phrase book stuff. We had a wonderful time at this hotel. All of the staff and particularly Umberto, Daniella and Pia went out of their way to make our holiday perfect. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble, from a complimentary bottle of wine, as they had been informed by my son that we were celebrating our retirement, to minibus transport to their private beach at the times and on the days that we asked to go. They even let me use the office computer to print our return flight boarding passes and check-in online. The hotel's private beach and the facilities available there were fantastic. Breakfast was ok, pretty basic but the hotel offered excellent value for money and we would recommend this hotel highly.
