Hotel San Francisco

My 2nd stay and just as I remembered. A big shout out to the gentleman in the breakfast room who is not only kind and efficient but also make an excellent cappuccino...grazzi!

Last year we stayed at Hotel San Francisco in Viareggio, and it was a no- brainer to stay there again when we returned this year. Again, an outstanding experience from start to finish. Owner Davide is on site, and there’s a family- feel to the place. The receptionists are all very friendly and helpful, advising, answering our endless questions and offering to print out train timetables. Gabriele and Dori were outstanding. The hotel’s location right on the promenade offers breathtaking views of the sea, and it’s well worth getting a room with a private balcony. Each morning, waking up to the sight of the sparkling Mediterranean was an absolute delight. The beds were very comfortable, and the housekeeping staff did an amazing job keeping everything immaculate throughout our stay. This is old school Italy, with the ladies buzzing around looking very smart in their uniforms, and noticing what you’re using and the lovely Bettina leaving more of it on a daily basis. One of the highlights was the breakfast, on the sunny roof with sea views. With a spread of fresh fruits, pastries and cheeses, the stand out was the made to order traditional Italian coffee. It was wonderful to see the same team again. Gianluca, Silvia and Carmen take a real pride in looking after their guests. The staff truly made the experience special. Location-wise, you can’t beat it as it is on the beach. Viareggio’s vibrant promenade, with its shops, cafes, and charming atmosphere, is right at your doorstep. It’s a wonderful base for exploring Tuscany’s other gems like Pisa and Lucca, yet there’s plenty to enjoy without leaving Viareggio itself.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just got back from another fantastic stay at Hotel San Francisco in Viareggio, and I can't say enough good things about it! The view from my room was absolutely stunning—I loved waking up to the gorgeous coastline and watching the sunrise over the sea every morning. Breakfast was another highlight. They had a great spread of delicious options, from fresh pastries to local cheeses, and the coffee was spot on! It really set the tone for a perfect day. But what really made my stay special was the staff. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, always ready with a smile and eager to help with anything I needed. They made me feel right at home. If you’re heading to Viareggio, I highly recommend staying here. It’s the perfect mix of beautiful views, tasty food, and top-notch service!
