Не так, как мечталось Not as dreamed

I have always dreamed of visiting Tuscany, the birthplace of fine wines and my favorite singer, Andreo Bocelli. We rested in June. The hotel is located on the first line by the sea, a luxurious terrace with a beautiful view, a railway station and a bus stop within walking distance. Antique interior. This is where the pluses end. About the beach (the most desirable thing for us northerners). For an umbrella with two chairs on the hotel beach, we were charged 20 !! ! euro per day. If you want also a sunbed, plus 10 euros per day!! ! At the same time, the places were given the most distant. By the sea, according to the explanations of the glorious Italians, the places are all booked. By whom and when is unknown. The closest number we managed to get after a lot of bickering -9! ! The room is large, with access to a blank wall. The safe didn't work, they fixed it for three days. The toilet didn't close at all. The door lock didn't work. Yes, our room was located right under the terrace which had live music every evening. This "happiness" began around 11.30 pm, when animation programs in Europe usually end. At the same time, the singers probably believed that the louder they sing, the better. The room was cleaned well. Breakfast food is good, but repetitive. Dinner is complete rubbish. Do not take trips with dinner. I will not recommend this hotel to my friends.
"Pleased" the meeting party Offered only individual tours. The cost of the cheapest is 250 euros to Lucca, where we went for 9 euros round trip together. Florence - 450 euros. We went by train for 26 euros there and back together. All this disgrace was compensated by a trip to Florence, walks through architectural monuments, etc. And that would be a total disappointment.
Yes, to get tax free, you have to try. Be careful. We were stamped, but the money was not immediately returned. They said they would put it on the card within a month. Returned after two.

Everything else was good : -)
