“Superb”
Hotel Buongustaio is a lovely hotel in the hills above Massa. The view from the hotel is wonderful particularly at sunset. The staff are really efficient and friendly and the restaurant is great. Big shout out to the waitress Francesca, who was really friendly and superb, and the receptionist, who served our drinks at the poolside every day. The pool area is lovely and the pool is spotlessly clean, as is the whole hotel. I highly recommend this hotel if you want a relaxing time by the pool.

“A wonderful hotel that made our stay perfection”
At first we were uncertain due to the uphill drive to the hotel but once we were there the hotel exceeded expectation in all areas.

“Wonderful Hotel”
My husband and I loved everything about this hotel. Every member of staff made you feel so welcome. They were very attentive to your every need. We ate dinner at hotel every evening and were never disappointed. Food was great value for money and they had a varied selection on menu. Beautiful swimming pool area with more than enough loungers and chairs for every guest 😊 lastly the views from hotel are spectacular
