Mediterraneo

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.

Old building and shower is a challenge. Hotel needs upgrade and overpriced.

I found a shaving blade in the shower. Overnight the room was way too hot but I couldn't find the AC remote and didn't bother to ask the reception as it was late. Desiree having paid for breakfast they charged an extra coffee even when I made a remark about it (!!!!!!) and then tried to round up the bill by 2 euros as well. Nice area, the hotel is old and managed lazily. The price is not that low.
