B&B Pieve Degli Artisti0

The location is on a side road a few miles from Pietrasanta city center. You can walk to a nearby church, where a steep hiking trail goes up a mountain past hillside olive groves and small houses. Pietrasanta is a beautiful town with many restaurants, historic sites and upscale shops, plus the beaches are only a few miles farther. The B&B is a converted house and the conversion was done tastefully; believe there are three guest rooms. Our room was large and beautiful, with a window overlooking the pool. The bathroom was spacious as well. The pool and back yard are small but very nice, with plantings and a wall forming the border. In one direction, you can see a small town on a mountaintop in the distance. I swam multiple times during our three-night stay. The breakfast hostess was very nice, and they kindly let me keep a few items in the refrigerator during our visit. Breakfast was served outside in a lovely sitting area during our stay (late October). It's a very informal place, which I like.

The breakfast was below average for such a nice establishment, and on the last day (a Monday) there was no yogurt, bread, eggs, etc. (The town with stores is only two or three miles away so this could be rectified with a little effort). Due to its quaintness you can hear noise at times from other quests, visitors and whoever else lives in the house (the owner and others, perhaps). No maps or printed information were available of the area, which would have been helpful to explore the surroundings in a more efficient manner. You are on your own for parking (no on-site parking). It's a narrow but not busy dead-end road so you should be able to find a spot, perhaps around the corner in a small field (which is where we parked). In general, the staff could be more communicative.

Nice location. The pool was nice, the bedroom fantastic. From here we visited Pisa, Lucca and Pietrasanta. Also the trip to Cinque Terre was nice, although the best way to travel to the 5 villages is with the train starting from La Spezia. Owner Chiara bakes delicious cakes!

Chiara, the owner, smokes al lot. We are non smokers, and did not like the smell in the living room and the porch. It is almost impossible to use internet, no reach from the provider, wifi did not work. In the week we were there most quests wanted to start breakfast a 8.00 am. The buffet was almost complete, but Chiara arrived every day at 8.20 with the normal bread.

Very spacious surroundings with a beautiful garden full of greenery, and a large outdoor lounging area with a swimming pool. Perfect for a relaxing, and very quiet location. The breakfast was so good, with lots of choices. Ciara, the host and all the staff were charming and very helpful. Pietrasanta is a perfect location for art lovers.

Pietrasanta doesn't have any taxi services, or maybe just one or two drivers! So walked to and from the city centre. It's a pleasant 15 minute walk when it's not too hot.

Everything is like on the pictures. Really sweet and clean room. Nice, but small bathroom. AC was working perfectly. Pool is small, but big enough and has clean, cristal clear water. Most of the time, we had it completely to our selves. Breakfast was good for Italian standards. Personal is really friendly.

We got served scrambled eggs with bacon only on the first day. After that eggs were either completely out or only boiled eggs were available. Shower curtain was moldy at the bottom. Doors are not soundproof at all, so you can hear everything what is going on downstairs and vice versa.

Was our first but certainly not our last visit to Pive Degli Artitisti. The room, house, swimmingpool where fantastic. But we are going to miss the most are the breakfast and the warm welcome we had from the staff they where outstanding!

Breakfast was excellent, staff extremely friendly and helpful, location was beautiful. Although not in the centre of town it is only a short walk in, and you do not need a car. Pool is amazing, especially during heatwaves.

I think there could have been fridge in the room, for cold drinks etc... but there was a fridge you could use in communal part, so a very minor thing. Place was pretty perfect.

My partner and I had a lovely relaxing break, the location and the room were perfect. Chiara and her team are delightful and I would have happily stayed longer than our week.

Chiara was such a wonderful person , you could feel it from the details of the room , the decorations of her home and the most wonderful breakfast she prepared for us every morning. Thanks so much and we will be back again.
