Lo consiglio solo se trovate una buona offerta.

Albergo carino in buona posizione,ma il rapporto qualità prezzo, anche se era la notte di Pasqua non mi è sembrata ottima.Ad un prezzo inferiore il mio giudizio sarebbe stato un po' più alto sebbene il letto cigolante e la vista sul distributore avrebbero comunque influito. Quindi lo consiglio solo se trovate una buona tariffa.

Sorry, more frustrating than positive

I had read reviews and hotel advertising and seemed worth the additional cost so booked to stay here. I arrived early and found the location problematic because it's on a busy road and there is NO place to park a car. Not even an welcome entrance area so one doesn't know what to do. It meant driving back and forth a few times ending up parking in the gas station across the road. With this being already stressful to then arrive and the main doors locked! 11:30 am! I went to a Butcher next door who helped me and showed me a buzzer which rang a bell and eventually a staff member came down but said to come back later as staff had gone to the bank. By this time, with my car illegally parked I was getting more frustrated. The Butcher told me I could park in a parking area down the road. So I first got my luggage and crossed the busy road and left in hotel lobby. I'm mentioning this so one can be prepared and not go through what I went through. The hotel itself is okay. My room was pretty with a very nice bath but if you open the door /window to the small terrace it's noisy. Granted, at night it may not be but I was there in November and didn't open windows/doors. The hotel is a short walk to Pienza's historic area. The TV was on very early in the morning which I could hear the din in my first floor room. A young woman at reception was nice but a gentleman at reception was too busy on the phone to help me. My impression was overall poor.

Discreto

I titolari dell''Hotel sono gentilissimi ma la struttura presenta alcune carenze: è ubicata sul fronte strada e non dispone di un parcheggio (c'è quello pubblico vicino) e non ha uno spazio adeguato per la sosta. La ns. stanza. nonostante i doppi vetri era rumorosa. Il soggiorno è stato, pertanto, soddisfacente con il valore aggiunto della cordialità dei gestori.

Un ottima risposta

Ho soggiornato in questa struttura assieme ad un amico per due notti. La mia esperienza è stata molto positiva, nulla di cui lamentarmi. Le camere sono pulite e arredate con cura e buon gusto, dotate di aria condizionata, frigo bar e Wi-Fi. La colozione è molto ricca, grande varietà di dolce e salato. La posizione è molto buona, con appena 200 metri a piedi si è in centro paese. Claudia, la titolare, è una persona affabile e sempre disponibile. Nella vita si vive di esperienze e questa, nel suo piccolo, è stata molto positiva. Accorrete gente, accorrete!

Nice small friendly hotel near centre of Pienza

We received a friendly reception. The staff helped us take the luggage out of the car and take it to the room. We received helpful advice as to where to park our car close by for free. Our room was on the street side but with the double glazing the noise was minor. The room was small but very comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast, included in the price of the room was excellent. My wife and I would certainly recommend this hotel to our friends.

Hotel pulito, elegante e personale accogliente

La camera era molto grande, c'era un ampio bagno e tutto era estremamente pulito. L'arredamento era classico ed elegante. L'hotel è a gestione familiare e sono stati tutti disponibilissimi, ci hanno fatto sentire a nostro agio. Ci hanno indicato con dovizia di particolari i locali consigliati, i luoghi da visitare e come arrivarci. La colazione era favolosa, ingredienti ottimi e servizio al tavolo. Encomiabile. L'hotel si trovava vicinissimo ad un piccolo supermercato (ottimo per prendere qualcosa da mangiare ed esplorare i dintorni spendendo il giusto), c'erano tantissimi parcheggi non a pagamento e a 100mt il centro della città. Consigliatissimo a tutti quelli che vogliono visitare questa bellissima zona della Toscana. Io e mia moglie ci torneremo sicuramente.

Nice hotel in walking distance from city centre

This was an extremely nice stay with a very pleasant staff. Room was large with direct access to a terrace. We could park for free just behind the hotel. It is only 5 min to the city centre and very quiet at night. The staff in the reception made coffee at a very modest price when we came back in the evening from a restaurant that didn't serve coffee

perfect base for exploring Tuscany

The folks at the Arca di Pienza are kind, friendly, and helpful, and they keep the place spotless. Great value, with a spacious room, really comfy bed, and a decent breakfast. Pienza is a must-see and we found it a nice base for exploring the region in day trips. Great location only a couple blocks outside the city walls. It would be 5-stars across the board from us had the AirCon been working correctly but we don't fault management since we didn't speak up.

非常棒的飯店

飯店位置就在小鎮中心，對面有加油站及免費停車格；旁邊有超市，步行到舊城中心只要三分鐘，非常便利。 飯店規模只有幾間房間，接待的人我想應該是經營者以及他的家人，客房位於二樓，即使有小電梯非常熱心堅持幫我們提行李、每次進出大門，有時候是他的父親(我猜想)，有時候是他本人都親切的同我們打招呼。 房間非常舒適，裝潢也很漂亮一致，浴室明亮乾淨，空間感就和照片一模一樣，甚至還有小陽台！ 即使當天入住小鎮的房客不多，老闆仍準備了豐富的buffet等待我們使用，真的覺得這兩天的住宿是我們20天旅程下來最覺得窩心的體驗！

Royal treatment

Vi blev modtaget med åbne arme og de stod klar til at hjælpe os på plads med kufferter og værelser. Det var en fantastisk modtagelse! Værelserne var dejlige og meget lyse med masser af plads. Vores værelse havde en terrasse, som var perfekt til en kop cappuccino, efter dagens sightseeing og vinsmagninger. Vi mødte hotelejeren på en nærliggende cafe, og uden vi vidste det, havde han betalt vores kaffe. Hvor tit ser man det? Alt i alt, et fantastisk sted, med en dejlig beliggenhed. Næste gang vi skal ti Pienza, skal vi bo på Arca di Pienza igen.

Hotel Arca di Pienze, in Pienza, Italy

The new hotel is just outside the old city of Pienza. The hotel is family owned and operated. With just 8 rooms, it operates like a B&B. Upon arrival we discovered that the hotel has no private parking, nor any place to unload luggage except in the main road in front of the hotel. Public parking is available in two close-by lots. More on that later. Our room was OK but not special. Housekeeping was poor. The first day we had almost no TP left and no extra roll. The next day no bath mat was left. The third day, no new plastic cups were left in the room. Problems were fixed immediately upon request, but "reactive" housekeeping is not what the customer wants. Our room had a small patio with table and chairs. There was also a small grass area adjacent to the patio that had not been mowed this season. The grass and weeds were 1 - 2 feet high. We observed that other rooms were in the same condition. That said, there was also a rose bush in full bloom dividing each patio from the next. Very beautiful. The front of the hotel has a large patio that is very indifferently maintained and staged. The hotel faces a rather busy street and this patio is not particularly inviting.... nor is their any attempt to make it inviting. The help parks a motorcycle on the patio. "Grandpa", a very pleasant man who speaks no English, helps to cover the desk while the manager is occupied. He spends quite a bit of time watching the large screen TV in the lobby, at rather high volume. Like many Italian hotels, the WiFi only works in the lobby. The breakfasts were fully adequate but not luxurious. No hot dishes were served, but the cold food choices were fine and the coffee was excellent. The weekend we were in the hotel, Pienza had its annual flower market. The town was packed. Saturday night we were not able to find any parking near the hotel and had to get a spot several blocks away in a residential neighborhood. We cannot say whether it would be difficult to find parking close-in during the height of tourist season, when visitation would be higher than early May. Our overall impression is that this hotel is not making it financially, or the owners have lost interest in running a B&B, or both. Too many little things are going undone. It does not cost much to mow grass, or ask the help to park in the same public lots that the customers have to use. All in all, if we had to do it over again, we would spend more for something a bit more upscale. For travelers on a strict budget, this hotel should be considered in comparison to other hotels in the same price range in Pienza.
