I stayed here for 10 days whilst studying Italian in Pistoia. My stay could not have been more comfortable and the room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided as are toiletries. Breakfast was in a very pleasant breakfast room and was plentiful and varied. The staff is young, professional and super-friendly. To sum up, based on my experience , I would not hesitate to recommend.
