Hotel Relais Dell'Orologio, Pisa

The Hotel Relais Dell'Orologio, Pisa - this 14th century tower house lies on Via della Faggiola, in the heart of historic Pisa. The fine old building has been transformed into an elegant and select five-star Pisa hotel. Every room has antique furnishings, beautiful decoration and all the modern comforts. Rooms range from singles to suites, all with radio, minibar, bathroom, air conditioning, TV and safe. This charming family run hotel has a lovely garden, a restaurant and WiFi internet access.

The great thing about discovering Pisa is that it may be packed with historic treasures, but it's a geographically contained city. The sensible place to start is at the central Cathedral Square, the Campo (or Piazza dei Miracoli). This 'square of miracles' emerges as a stunning open space from the jumble of medieval backstreets around. At one side you have the Leaning Tower of course, to which most visitors will flock (be aware that demand for tickets to the now reopened tower far exceed supply, and it's not for those suffering from vertigo).

But the Campo also has the Cathedral, the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, wherein Buscheto created the sumptuous architectural style of Pisan Romanesque. This sparkling creation in grey and white stone is entered through the huge bronze doors of the Portale di San Ranieri. There is the neighbouring Camposanto and Baptistery, while the streets around are home to many important medieval palazzi and churches. This Pisa hotel puts the best of the sights on your doorstep.
