Hotel Hambros Il Parco

Located in town of porcaria and a driving distance of Lucca. The hotel is provides clean room with toiletries and other travel requirements. Provides you with in-room tea and coffee and a variety of continental delicious breakfast. The hotel also offers a bar and outside area and a gym for those looking to keep fit. There is an an ex restaurant next to the hotel that provides quality food delivered with a big welcome smile.

The hotel is unexpected nice, in the middle of nowhere the hotel entry is signaled and after a nice green tunnel entry you will find the parking in a nice internal garden. Sonic pollution or signs of stress aren’t available. Really friendly personal and a nice garden with pool is the common atmosphere all the day. So why not 5 stars? The room was small and the air conditioning was loud. On the service, the breakfast is ok but there isn’t variety so after 2 days you have taste everything. Scramble eggs or fried eggs are not possible to get.

A nice hotel, and we had a good stay, but terrible value for money. If this was £300/£350 for 3 nights, I would have rated 5 stars and said how good the pool and breakfast was. But we were expecting so much more for £530 for 3 nights. The bedrooms are small with not nearly enough space to unpack - not nearly like the bedrooms pictured on booking.com. The bedroom wasn’t particularly clean, lamp broken, typical terrible hotel hairdryer and no ironing board. Breakfast was very basic and all but over when we went down at 9.30 one morning. For £530 I’d expect a couple of cooked breakfasts! The breakfast room itself was loud and with so much noise from the kitchen on top. The beautiful outdoor seating/dining area pictured online is actually part of the attached restaurant next door, not used for breakfast or anything else! Staff friendly and the pool area is fantastic; in the sun from 9.30-5.30pm (sept) and a lovely lady who runs it. The Jacuzzi/hot tub however out of order…. We were looking for 3 nights of (a bit more) luxury to round off our time in Italy and we’re happy to pay for it…. Unfortunately we didn’t find it here.
