The Bottom Line:

Just minutes from Pisa’s famed leaning tower, Relais dell’Orologio places guests within minutes of attractions such as the church of Santa Maria della Spina and the Roman church of San Piero a Grado. Visitors were thrilled with in-room amenities such as air conditioners, mini-bars and satellite televisions (suites also sport Jacuzzi tubs). Further highlights included an on-site bar, Wi-Fi access (as well as Internet corner), parking garage and daily breakfast buffets (served from the veranda). Guests raved over the hotel’s restored historic interiors, and indulged in the hotel’s ‘welcome drink,’ and complimentary in-room bottled water.
