Hotel La Locanda - Tuscany Hotel in Pisa, Italy

The HOTEL LA LOCANDA is situated in the historical centre of the town. We are in proximity to the Amphitheatre Romano and to the “Porta Fiorentina”. Our Hotel is new and has been converted from an ancient Monastery of Nuns. The former owner of this Palace, in the second half of 1700’s was Anton Filippo Giacchi, historically and culturally famous for his study of Etruscan history .In remembrance of him, you can find also today a memorial plaque over the entrance of the Hotel. In those days he fixed onto the front of the building some urns, boxes for urns and the tops of urns from the Etruscan time, with representations of fantastic animals and scenes of the trip to the Inferno. All this he found here when he excavated the site.
