Cavalieri del Tau

We found ourselves at the hotel because our car broke down during our trip to Corsica and we had to deal with its repair. Nevertheless, we were delighted with the attitude of the staff - they were very helpful in solving our difficult situation. At the same time, the hotel has great charm, architectural detail and is in a city that is only a short distance from beautiful cities such as Pisa or Lucca. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.

This small hotel is a very short walk from the centre of Altopascio. Our hosts, Luciano and Aurora, made our stay. They were very helpful indeed - and it is that kind of kindness and consideration that gives you fond memories of a place. The hotel has a lift, the rooms are a good size, and at breakfast there was a wide choice of options including fresh pastries.

The night we were there there was a problem with the air conditioning, but we were warned of it before we arrived and the owners provided us with a fan.

Excellent bed Comfortable room layout Good breakfast, although less convenient than normal due to COVID changes (important items not self-service).

Minor signs of falling behind with upgrades and repairs (e.g. semi-obsolete TV set that works fine but is unable to show many channels after a broadcasting standards switch less than 2 weeks ago, which implies neglect or failure to replace TVs with a couple of years of advance warning). Basically unchanged in several years since I first visited, it looks more built in the '70s than other hotels of a similar class.

Comfortable room, very friendly staff, good supper and breakfast, convenient location just off the main square. Just right for weary pilgrims walking the Via Francigena.

Luciano and Aurora are friendly and super helpful, going out of their way to assist us. They have excellent English which is a real plus for those of us with very limited Italian! Breakfast had a wide range of both sweet and savoury options and set us up well for the day. The hotel is very reasonably priced - simple but comfortable.

This was a one night stopover while on our roadtrip. Happy with the hotel, parking simple, we left early so can't comment on breakfast. The best part however was the evening when we found somewhere to eat nearby called La Magione del Tau

The hosts were very kind, helpful and patient; I got stranded with my motorbike and they went out of their way to help me. I can’t thank them enough. The hotel is right next to the center of the village, which is surprisingly nice with lots of restaurants.

The room was clean, perfect instruction about check in! The owner surpried us with dog collegues at reception saved by him! So cute and friendly dogs 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

We were satisfied

Very well located for via francigena. Staff were very sweet with our baby and accommodated last minute request for crib.

We stayed here while walking the via Francigena. The hotel is in a great location for the route. The rooms were spacious, cool and clean. The hosts were so friendly and kind. I left behind a pair of earrings and the owner called me and drove over to give them back to me! So generous and kind!
