Albergo Villa Marta, the Originals Relais (Relais du Silence)

Very beautiful hotel with a wonderful swimming pool where u can enjoy the sunbathe very well as well. Definitely will recommend to people who have a car, and would like to visit Pisa! :)

What a wonderful hotel guesthouse. We wished we had booked more nights. We only stayed one night, but it’s left a lasting impression on us, and I’m already looking to book for next year. We stayed in room 101, which is just off the reception area. It’s a lovely quiet hotel, and on the day we arrived (Sunday) we had the whole pool area to ourselves for a good hour or so. We stayed as two adults and our 8yr old boy, and he loved it as well. The pool is a little cold, but once you are in you soon warm up. The sun beds around the pool are very comfortable, so much so I fell asleep and woke myself up snoring ha, the hotel provides towels to use around the pool. You can order drinks to be served around the pool loungers, and they are reasonably priced for a hotel. They have a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner (we only sampled breakfast, which was included in our room rate). The restaurant is closed Sunday night. The staff are so friendly and helpful, I would highly recommend a stay here. We travelled from Pisa airport, which took around 45mins off memory. We then drove into Pisa to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa and to sample local cuisine. The dining choices were endless. I’m gluten free myself and had lots of options to pick from, including pizza and pasta. The hotel is set in a pretty location as well. They have bikes you can use free of charge to visit the location area. A big 10/10 from us.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Marta. I would definitely stay here again. Pros include: loved the chapel suite, swimming pool great, great breakfast, amazing outdoor eating area, very friendly staff especially Roberto who literally made our trip, in fact we were quite emotional when we had to say goodbye to him, he made our trip go from a 4 to a 5. Evening meals were really good, especially the fish pasta. Cons include: not enough sunbeds by the pool and upon arrival it would have been nice to have been offered a complimentary drink and also offered to get help with the suitcases. Also one small point, on the corner of the swimming pool there was a dip in the ground and we saw 2 guests fall because of this, one injuring herself quite bad, so a quick fix is recommended.
