Had a fabulous stay. The room was large and very clean. The staff were friendly especially the receptionist. We enjoyed the restaurant that had local choices and I can recommend finishing with the sweet wine and homemade biscotti! Lucca is a wonderful town and very easy to get to from the hotel. We spent the morning in town and the afternoon by the hotel pool. Perfect!

My son and I stayed at this hotel for 1 night out the 3 on our visit to Tuscany as we were flying out of Pisa the following morning. The hotel has a good mix of old and new furnishings and décor. Fabulous bathrooms though a wee bit small. Just the right amount of choice at breakfast in a pleasant conservatory. Also a very spacious terrace for sitting out or relaxing on a sun lounger with a drink from the bar service at reception. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would like to return in the...

We visited the San Luca Palace in September. The rooms are magnificent. Clean and spacious. The hotel is very close to the town centre (about a 5 minute walk to the Duomo).
Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good and the staff calm and attentive.
There is also a very good restaurant about 3 doors down from the hotel.
Can’t recommend highly enough!

Valentina and Pietro were both amazing. Property location was perfect. Clean, different and facilities were excellent. Loved the fact that Valentina kept in touch all through our stay and sent helpful guides and map to us. Also lovely pictures of Lucca.
We will return.

We have stayed at this hotel on various occasions over the past 3 years and have always been really pleased. The hotel is the perfect base from which to explore this part of Tuscany or as a staging post following a late arrival / early departure flight from Pisa. It is situated virtually midway between Pisa and Lucca (about 15 minutes to both) and very easy to find especially from Pisa airport (see hotel web site) A family run hotel with ample free parking, the staff are always welcoming,...

Accommodating, spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, location superb for easy reach inside Lucca walls, quirky and not your run of the mill small hotel. Breakfast best we've ever had and we're frequent travellers. Hosts fantastic. Bed and room comfortable. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic b&b. The staff were so welcoming and friendly upon our arrival. The accomodation was immaculate and our room was very big with everything you could possibly need, including hair straighteners! The air conditioning was great, given the very warm weather It was in a perfect position just outside the city walls and ideal for walking into the beautiful town on Lucca. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

The Bagni di Pisa is wonderfully relaxing. The spa treatments are exceptional. Not the best location for sight-seeing, unless you have a car. A day trip to Lucca is easy by train but get a ticket first or face €5 fine per person for €2.5 ticket. Connecting trains to Florence from Pisa are not too good especially on a Sunday.

We stayed here for one night and were very pleased with the room which was in the older building a few steps away. Lovely large comfortable room. All staff were helpful and friendly. Happy to arrange taxis or dinner for you. The coffee and snacks provided in the reception area were a welcome treat as was the complementary fizz served at 5 pm!. If I’m the area again would stay here!

Literally this hotel is opposite the leaning tower of Pisa, it has a cafe next to it perfect for breakfast with a view as although currently Expedia states the hotel is bed and breakfast it is not. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Would go back

We stayed in room 9. We loved the unusual decor,cleanliness, the friendly staff, the good size of shower (not being the thinest of people), the air conditioning that worked really well, breakfast and the drinks and bits to eat in the basement dining room availability 24 hours per day. It also has a car park which was a worry if it did not have one.
The only issue we had was the place has no lift which meant we had to leave our large suitcase in the car.

The best time to visit Balbano is generally from late spring (May-June) through early autumn (September-October), when the weather is pleasant for exploring.
May and June offer warm, sunny days, superb for enjoying the Tuscan countryside without the peak summer heat or crowds. The vineyards and olive groves are lush, and outdoor activities like cycling or walking are very enjoyable. This period is ideal for couples looking for a romantic escape, as the evenings are mild for al fresco dining.
September and early October also provide lovely weather, with comfortable temperatures and the added charm of the grape harvest season. The landscape takes on beautiful autumnal colours, and there are often local festivals celebrating the harvest.
