What guests loved the most

“Cosy, stylish, recently renovated and very very clean room! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Parking card arranged by the hotel without additional cost in the area around was also a positive point!”

, Greece

“Great location for getting to Florence/Pisa by train to avoid the crush Very friendly and helpful staff”

, United Kingdom

“Excellent newly refurbished room with great shower and the best airconditioning, very quiet and efficient. Great to come back to after a hot day exploring. We chose this property because it was opposite the railway station and we were able to use the train to travel to Florence, Pisa and Sienna. It was our first visit to Italy and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very helpful family run hotel. Thank you so much.”

, United Kingdom

“Location right in the town center, a parking slot nearby, walking distance to Stadio Castellani (FC Empoli), brand new room equipment and furniture, friendly reception, reasonable breakfast, overall good value for money”

, Switzerland

“Nice location to the train station. Nice staff but not too much English spoken. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom nice. The breakfast was okay and the hand made cappucino good. A good place to stay when traveling to Empoli but the price is high to stay near the train station I guess. I just stayed one night on the way from Venice to La Spezia. I would stay again if doing the same thing, just staying one night on the way to another town.”

, USA

“Staff were helpful. I had a small infection on the Sunday morning so needed a pharmacy that was open and the staff rang places up for me. I also got advice on Italian plugs as there are two different fittings in Italy. This hotel uses the one with narrower prongs so had to buy an adaptor for 5 euros. We stayed here as were visiting Pisa, Siena and Florence by train and this hotel was best placed for all three being opposite the station entrance. It is not far from restaurants either.”

, United Kingdom

“While small, the room was very nice and immaculately clean. The WiFi was good. ”

, USA

“Courtesy is the key. Father and son team were excellent. Nicolo' made us feel at home with a home away from home.😯”

, Australia

“Very convenient location on the train line between Piza and Florence and straight across road from train station in Emploi. This hotel was a breath of fresh air. Absolutely beautiful, clean, freshly renovated and lovely staff. Breakfast and wifi were terrific. Best hotel on our trip thus far. Well done Hotel Sole.”

, Singapore

“this is a small hotel recently refurbished so rooms, bathrooms etc are the best... staff pleasant, friendly and obliging. The hotel is across the road from the train station (and there's an intersection on the train line so lots of trains etc). We traveled through most of Tuscany from here.”
