The locals tell me Albergo Italia is the best hotel in Piombino, and I think I know why. It's been here a long time and while it's an old hotel in a small town, it has everything you need and the service is excellent. I had an excellent breakfast and one day I woke up late and missed the regular breakfast time but the two ladies downstairs waited for me and let me have breakfast one hour after the close time. I had a misunderstanding with a service that was supposed to come to the hotel to pick up my suitcase as I was traveling alone and had difficulty with the luggage but when the service didn't show up the owner of the hotel kindly offered to take me to the station himself and gave up a Sunday morning to help me out. Things like these make all the difference in the world. They clearly care about their customer. The hotel is just as someone asked described, an old style hotel, and do not expect any luxuries or frills, but it was cozy and very comfortable. if I have any complaints it's only that the bed was a bit firm for my taste - although that's pretty standard around here. I honestly felt like I had everything I needed and felt very safe. The location is superb. You couldn't ask for better. This is the place to stay if you are staying in Piombino.

I had forgotten the specifics of my reservation - one out of about twenty (+/-) stops on this trip - so I was embarrassed after eating unpaid-for breakfast. Well, that's OK - me the typical dummy, but eight Euros, for a cup of coffee and a croissant? No problem but I skipped second unauthorized breakfast. Really lovely, helpful people but my major beef were the cheap, cheesy plastic bathroom cups- real glass would be classy upgrade. I'd come back next year if I can afford to.

The hotel is right in the middle of old town, very convenient for shopping and dining. The owner was very friendly and gave us a great welcome and explanation. Everything worked out fine, and we have enjoyed the stay. The hotel is cozy and has a very warm atmosphare with a charm.

Perfect location with lots of bars, restaurants and shops within a very short walk. So was the ocean. Hotel was very clean. The air conditioning worked perfectly. In the very best way, it felt like an old fashioned, European hotel.

It is not modern - which we found charming.

Right in the centre of Chianni and perfectly positioned for bars and restaurants. Beautiful hotel- we were allocated a lovely spacious room overlooking the front. Very comfy bed and updated bathroom. All facilities spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly. We will return for sure.

Highly convenient location. It is on a quiet street in old Town, only 5 min walk to train station. Breakfast was abundant and varied, and rooms were clean with an old world charm. Polite staff. Would definitely stay again!

Old style hotel. Very kind and helpful staff. I was so grateful to them for making my room warm and cosy. The weather was unseasonably cold. Room very clean. Wonderful location in historic area 5 min walk from train station

Excellent breakfasts and staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a great location and we were able to park nearby.

Would have liked a slightly larger room.

Situation was great. Older type hotel and was a bit dated but in keeping with what it should be, not right to be negative

A tad dated but more than adequate for what we wanted on a touring holiday,

Albergo Italia was simple in decor with a very tasteful atmosphere. The bed put me to sleep. The bathroom was appointed well including a bidet and a powerful shower in its own spacious compartment. Room 10 had a small study, bedroom with under top refrigerator and the large bathroom. The feeling was of a different era in a large space that was actually compact. I would stay there whenever I return to beautiful Piombino. Oh, the location I easy to find and quietly surrounded by restaurants and shops. And the staff were amiably professional.

I can’t think of anything to dislike about my time there.
