We stayed a night at this hotel while making our way from Tuscany up to Cinque Terre and found it…read moreto be a beautiful hotel with great amenities. The hotel lobby is spacious and modern. Check-in was quick, and we found our room to be larger than usual per Italian standards. The bedroom and bathroom had everything we needed. We only got a little pool time due to rainy weather, but it is a beautiful pool. The poolside drink service did not work well, and we had to go to the bar to order. Drinks were good, but not any gluten-free lunch options. The gym and spa were both nice. We loved the heated lappool, sauna, and steam rooms. There were definitely signs of wear, though; needing maintenance and repair of the tile and calk. Good breakfast with gf options, including a nice little gf croissant they warmed up for me. Location was just across the road to the beach and boardwalk and an easy walking distance (10 mins or so) to the part of town with most of the restaurants and bars.

The pros: Service in EVERY AREA of the hotel was 5 stars. Our Maitre D' said it best "we want the…read morespirit of our service to match the manner of our service." The room was matchless, expect the normal wear and tear of a older hotel, we opted for the suite, good decision. I would visit here any time of year. Not just the summer, as I write this a thunderstorm rages in the ocean across the street. I am a steam room, (Turkish bath), aficionado, theirs is the best so far, (compare to Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara). The staff was matchless throughout the hotel. The breakfast was more than expected, They quickly learned how I liked my coffee and would bring it to me as I arrived, much to my delight. The food was more $ than I expected, however - it was less $ than it should have been, our best meal in Italy. The con: The spa needed some mild training, (I think if my Italian was better or their English was a piccolo better it would have been easier, but the facility was impressive. Expect function over form.

We stay for a week until July 20,2018 We had a one bedroom…read moresuite. Rooms are okay, service is not. I think the management have to do some changes before they have other unhappy customers. For examples , the tv on the bedroom doesn't work properly, the entrance door handle was loose for a long time until broke done completely. We went to the pool and order coffee and the biggest surprise ( never in other 5 starts hotel uraound the world) after we give the bar tender the room number we had to sign first before the coffe was serve. Just doesn't make any sense. For the car parking we were told $29 per day. On the bill was $39 per day, the explanation was that the car was inside in the parking, not outside. That's okay if we were told up front and we can deside if he have choice.

I stayed at Hotel Venezia for two nights earlier this month with a friend of mine. We initially…read moreintended to stay in Forte dei Marmi, but by the time we started booking hotels, most had few rooms available. I am guilty of choosing the Venezia, and admit it was out of desperation and fear that we wouldn't find alternate lodging. I also admit that after staying at the Eurostars in Berlin and the Gallery Hotel Art in Florence, we were a bit spoiled, but when we arrived at the Venezia we weren't too thrilled. First, it's out of the way from where you want to be in the area. It's a bit of a drive from both the Forte city center and also Pietrasanta itself which is where the majority of the restaurants and shopping is. When I return to the area (which will hopefully be soon), I hope to stay in Pietrasanta, which I LOVED! Back to the Venezia. The room was very clean and the staff were eager to help. They even gave us a great restaurant recommendation when one of our reservations fell through. But, it wasn't what we'd hoped for or expected. The WiFi doesn't really work well, at all, if ever. The hotel is frequented by many families with small children that may be heard crying and shouting at all hours. The room itself was not luxurious, not in the least bit. When we tried to check out early Monday morning we were forced to wait about 20 minutes because the front desk person hadn't started their shift yet. The Venezia was obviously not the right choice for two young, single women looking to have fun. For goodness sake we were told to keep quiet both nights we came in past two after clubbing! We weren't drunk or being loud, but apparently the sound of our heels on the floor disturbed the sleeping children. In sum, we felt we paid too much for our stay considering what we got in return. So, if you aren't a family with kids, or if you plan to take part in the bars and restaurants in Pietrasanta and don't have a car, do not stay here! A tax ride into Pietrasanta is about 30 Euro, but parking is even more of a mission. Last tip: if you stay here and need a cab, don't let the front desk call one for you. They have a deal with a local taxi cab who charges about 5 to 10 euros more each way than any other taxi cab driver!
