About
Mediceo 42
Mediceo 42 is a compact guest house on the Arno's north bank, set in a 19th-century building with just six rooms. It's a 9-minute walk from Piazza del Duomo, home to the Leaning Tower and cathedral, and about the same distance from Pisa Centrale station. The location puts you between the two, making it easy to explore on foot.
Rooms are modern and soundproofed, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles. Some have balconies or city views. On-site parking is available, which is a practical bonus in a city where parking can be tight. The hotel is rated 8.9 out of 10 from nearly a thousand guest reviews.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Small property, limited rooms — With only six rooms, the hotel is intimate but may lack the facilities of larger properties, such as a full restaurant or common areas.
- Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 19:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted, which could be a limitation for travellers with animals.
- Street noise potential — While rooms are soundproofed, the central location on a main river road could still bring some ambient noise, especially for light sleepers.
- Price for the class — At £102 per night for a 3-star property, some may find it slightly above typical guest house rates, though value ratings are high.
