Grand Hotel Mediterraneo, Tuscany Italy
★ ★ ★
No weather data found for [, ”Italy”, ”Tuscany”, horizontal]
A large comfortable establishment which wouldn’t be out of place on a Mediterranean beach resort – although there is no pool. It feels a little removed from the action of the centre but does offer a pleasing array of facilities to compensate. Not for those seeking traditional character and flavour and it proves popular with tour groups.
Exterior
A fairly uninspiring, rather weary looking building with some rooms having a recessed balcony. Steps and a ramp up to the large covered entrance.
Property type: Hotel
Storeys: 6
Interior
The interior is modern and characterless but comfortable. The cavernous open-plan lobby incorporates a functional reception, extensive seating areas and a pleasant bar with a covered terrace overlooking the street. Large impersonal main restaurant and a choice of two further restaurants including an agreeable taverna.
Rooms: 331
Location
Area Type: Just over 1 mile east of Piazza del Duomo, across a very busy main road from the River Arno, with a hectic crossroads to negotiate. Not much in the way of shops and bars in the vicinty and the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge is a 1 mile riverside walk away. The main train station is 1½ miles. Bus stop 50 yds.
