Casa di Manu

Ottima casa dotata di tutti i comfort, molto pulita e davvero accogliente. Situata in una posizione strategica a due passi da tutto. Nelle vicinanze molti negozi e ristoranti. L'host davvero ospitale ed efficiente! Consiglio vivamente!

Appartamento vicino alla struttura termale raggiungibile tranquillamente a piedi in cinque minuti. Ottima accoglienza della proprietaria che si è resa disponibile per ogni esigenza

It was a lovely, comfortable, and spacious apartment. It had everything needed for a home from home stay. The location was excellent, 5 minute walk to the train and bus station. This made it easy to visit Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Montecatini Alto. There was a supermarket within a 5 minute walk. The host Manuela was very welcoming and supportive. Trattoria da Gina was located a 2 minute walk from the property and served delicious food at a very reasonable price.

When I arrived, the owner did not divulge where the remote control for the air conditioning was. I should have seen it as a sign. We checked in on July 22. The next day, she sent me a message on whatsApp telling me to turn off the air conditioner during the night because it had been on all day. We didn't wish to engage in conflict so we appeased her. To our detriment .......because we woke up full of sweat, so much so that our clothes were dripping. Well our attempt to avoid conflict wasn't successful either because the day after she sent another message reprimanding us for leaving the exterior light on. It was an honest mistake because the switches for both the inside and outside lights are right next to each other. There is a washing machine but since the apartment is on the ground floor, the clothes will never dry inside, as there is inherent humidity in any ground floor house such as this one was. Furthermore, the bedrooms are partially underground since the terrain is dislevel. I placed the clothes rack outside my door where the sun was and received another whatsApp message telling me not to place it there because it bothered her car passageway. I only put them outside while I was home so I could quickly remove them if necessary. The clothes dry faster in the sun. There was shade at the time of the day that she wanted me to put them elsewhere. Overall, it was an extremely unpleasant experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone who likes freedom and not having their every move controlled and criticized. Finally, she refused to provide a receipt for the tourist tax that she collects apart from the amount paid on booking. This is required by law. I would not recommend this place for all of the above reasons. I had selected this place because of the facilities that it boasted. Namely, the air conditioner and the washing machine. She cites energy costs and basically didn't like us using either.

The host was a nightmare.... Sending me messages on what's app to turn off the air conditioner and not put the clothes rack outside the door. The host seems quite mentally unwell (to be polite) She sent me messages (attached) while I was out of the dwelling. Then she has the nerve to call me a terrible person. I suppose pushing back against her bullying behaviour makes me a bad person. She threatened me with legal action if I insisted on receiving a receipt. STAY AWAY!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Di Manu. Our host was attentive and available for any advice we needed. We felt very much at home, so clean, comfy, well equipped, in fact everything we needed. Great restaurants all very near plus the funicular to Montecatini Alto ( a must to visit). A Perfect location for visiting Florence, Lucca, Viareggio. The station is a 2 minute walk with excellent services. We would definitely recommend Casa Di Manu.

Really nice place for visiting Montecatini terme. The owners were hospitable and promptly helped me with my questions and needs.

Very near to station. Host is always available in WhatsApp and responds immediately. Almost everything is available. Very comfortable

Just a plug point near the work table in bedroom, to charge the laptop

Very easy to find, just 8 minutes from railway station and local supermarket. In the opposite direction, the main town with restaurants etc about 12 minutes. 2 lovely separate bedrooms and fully appointed dining/living area, plus all linen and toiletries and lockable safe. Local information and maps readily to hand. Our host, Manuela, eager to help and supportive. Ideally located for both Pisa and Florence by rail.
