Leone Di Santanna

... but it seems that the host doesn't care neither for the house, nor for the guests. :/ The phone number given on the www dosn't work so it is almost a miracle to communicate with the host. And be carefull; you can open EVERY room with ONE key !

While not the most spectacular of places, our visit to Leone di Sant'Anna was based on convenience (being close to one of the wall entrances) and as a rest stop on a month long trip (there is a Laundromat across the road - very convenient and easy to use!). We had a 4 person room that was functional enough. Found the pillows were really flat, but the staff were very accommodating in providing extras for us. The bathroom was quite small and I think the shower was the smallest I had encountered so far - the rose even fell off while I was using it! Had a new flatscreen TV which worked for a little then stopped. Staff again came to our rescue and got it working again. Same with the little bar fridge which they happily exchanged for another. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. The food was quite basic, but when well stocked was very adequate... only found that some mornings there was only half of the previous mornings supplies, and chairs were at a premium. Feel free to ask if you need more, as instead of bagging the place, give them the opportunity to make things right! Lovely little garden where we brought home some pizza, meat, cheese & vino for a picnic - lovely evening. Friendly staff who assisted with taxis and any information you require. We wouldn't mind staying again.

I stayed here a while ago and it was one of my worst ever travel experiences, which is why I've belatedly written a review. Lucca is beautiful but this place is dreadful- dirty, mould growing around the room, broken furniture and walls so thin that the man snoring in the next room kept me awake every night. I was travelling alone and felt tired and scared.
