Mediterraneo

We had a great time in Mediteraneo. We stayed in a family room with a balcony overlooking the mountain and the park. The hotel is a very short distance to all shops, city centre and the park.

Excellent small family hotel. Friendly, helpful, clean and not expensive. Excellent location. Excellent first-class food. We could find nothing to fault.

We did enjoy our stay at Mediterraneo despite much being far below what we had expected from any hotel or even hostel. The location and eating breakfast in the park was nice, but did not outweigh the fact that the hotel is in need of some serious maintenance. Rooms:If you have money you can stay in a somewhat renovated room, otherwise what you could get is dirty room on arrival, broken shower head and AC without remote. Breakfast: scored well on being outside and including one cappuccino pp. each day. The quality of the food, however, was not good; unless you do not care for your health (white bread, fake juice, no eggs, no alternative to pork). Cold drinks are served in colorful plastic (fun for kids, but not for adults).

We were on a family vacation from the US, using Hotel Mediterraneo as a central location for reaching various spots in Tuscany. The location was great, although the GPS often took us through a ZTL. Fortunately, the ZTL was "Non Attivo" all of the times we went through. Plenty of restaurants and gelato within walking distance. We had a room with a balcony (there are only a few) with a small adjoining room for our two boys. The balcony overlooked the outdoor restaurant, and was really a great addition. A/C kept the rooms pretty cool, which was great for a July stay. The breakfast buffet was great each morning. We had nice weather, and were able to eat outside each morning. Nice spread of food. Service was excellent. There is a large public park across from the hotel. There are always plenty of people taking dogs on walks, jogging, etc... always a great escape no matter the time of the day. The beds were a bit firm and parking was tight, but manageable. There's a bit of street parking, and the hotel sells cheap daily passes if there is no space in the lot across from the hotel. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a central location for day trips through Tuscany.
