Hotel Villa Delle Rose

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Villa Delle Rose? It’s tucked away on Via Del Castellare in this quiet corner of Pescia that feels completely removed from the tourist chaos, but you’re actually just a few minutes’ walk from the main piazza. I mean, Pescia isn’t exactly Florence when it comes to crowds, but still – there’s something really peaceful about this particular street. The hotel itself sits in what looks like a converted villa (hence the name, obviously), and honestly, the rose theme isn’t just marketing fluff. There are actual rose gardens scattered around the property, and in late spring the whole place smells incredible when you’re having your morning coffee on the terrace.

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star place – nothing that’ll blow your mind, but comfortable beds, decent bathrooms, and that particular Italian attention to little details like proper lighting and actual closet space. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Pescia shuts down pretty early anyway, but this part of town is residential enough that you’re not dealing with late-night bar noise or delivery trucks at 6 AM. The WiFi actually works (not always a given in smaller Italian towns), and parking is included, which – trust me – is a huge deal when you’re navigating these narrow Tuscan streets with a rental car. The breakfast situation is honestly better than I expected. Sure, it’s the standard Italian hotel spread, but they source a lot of stuff locally, and the coffee is legitimately good, not that watery hotel nonsense.

Here’s the thing about staying in Pescia though – most people just pass through on their way to more famous spots, but it’s actually this perfect little base if you want to explore northern Tuscany without the Airbnb prices and Instagram crowds. You’re twenty minutes from Montecatini Terme if you’re into that whole spa scene, and Lucca is maybe a forty-minute drive through some genuinely beautiful countryside. The hotel staff seems to get this – they’re not just friendly, they actually know the area and will steer you toward the good local restaurants (there’s this place called Osteria del Vicario about ten minutes away that’s absolutely worth the walk). The 8.2 rating feels about right to me – it’s not going to change your life, but it’s well-run, comfortable, and honestly a pretty good value for what you get. Plus, there’s something refreshingly authentic about staying somewhere that caters more to Italian families and European travelers than the typical American tourist circuit. If you’re the type who’d rather discover a place than just check it off a list, Villa Delle Rose is a solid choice.

• Jenny from Australia (8/10)

  The hotel is a large complex on nice grounds out of the main centre of Pescia, it seems to cater well for buses of tourists. The rooms were clean and for the age of the buidling, quite nice with a charm about them, I particularly liked the enormous autumn picture back wall of the beds 🙂
  The staff are absoultely lovely, helpful and keen to serve any request.
  The hotel has a very old world charm about it and a newer wing attached, it has a pool which we never used but seemed nice.
