Hotel Riviera Blu, Tirrenia, Pisa

The Hotel Riviera Blu is in Tirrenia, on Tuscany's Mediterranean (Tyrrhenian) coastline. Lying south west of the medieval city of Pisa, and close to the international airport at Pisa Galileo Galilei, Tirrenia is uniquely well positioned, allowing you to combine a beach holiday of family fun, with cultural trips into the city. Another nearby towns include Livorno (Leghorn as it was known to generations of British visitors) which has a ferry service.

Tirrenia is a lovely spot, with the coastline fringed by pinewoods, and is a favourite seaside getaway for Pisans on vacation. And Pisa itself is a must. The sine qua non, without which no visit to Pisa would be complete is, of course, a trip to see the Leaning Tower. Surprisingly small, stunningly striking and standing proud and exposed at the heart of the Campo or Piazza dei Miracoli (Pisa's 'field of miracles') the Torre Pendente is but one element of a remarkable collection of medieval urban architecture. Its neighbours on the broad open space of the Campo are the Duomo, the Baptistery and the Camposanto.

Rooms at this Tirrenia hotel are single, double or triple, and accommodation is available either on a bed and breakfast or half board basis. This charmingly renovated hotel is just 10o metres from the beach and sits within acres of beautiful unspoiled forest.
