Il Ciocco Hotels

Relax time Nice and quite location. You need to have a car to reach the location and move between the structure.

I throughly enjoyed my stay at the Hotel. Check in was very easy, the reception staff were amazing and went out of their way to be helpful. The room was spotless and the veiw outstanding! The area around was peaceful and there are many trails / hiking opportunities. I would highly recommend this Hotel to anyone.

Positives: 1. A comfortable bed. 2. Balcony with seating and small table were good for the beautiful views though the balcony was above the road. 3. Room was fine, bathrobes, spacious bathroom. 4. The night we had dinner in the restaurant was delicious with pleasant staff. 5. Breakfast was ok, a nice dining space. Had all the basics you’d expect. The pastries, granola and sausages were very good. 6. Very clean everywhere. Negatives: 1. The staff were fine but one was incredibly unhelpful when I simply asked to borrow an umbrella because it was pouring down with rain but was told no. I would have to buy one for €15 despite there being at least 4 in the umbrella holder by the reception desk. 2. In room coffee facilities were ok but were outside the room shared with other guests (as well as a small fridge) and no milk option or services within the hotel. 3. European plug adapters didn’t work so we had to charge phones via the tv with the USB cable. 4. Tight walk in shower. 5. TV didn’t work. 6. On one morning there was a car rally race going around the hotel so very noisy. 7. Very remote so near impossible to walk to anywhere because to get to/from the hotel to a public road (not even a town), it’s a 4km hike up/down a steep road. Even for breakfast the restaurant was a 500m hike up from the hotel. Anyone with mobility challenges should avoid this hotel. 8. Must have a car or be prepared to pay for taxis if you want to do anything off site. Even their shuttle to Barga was €20 per person one way.
