Palazzo Feroci – Residenza d'epoca

Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 9 October 2026 · How we review hotels

Palazzo Feroci suits travellers who would rather stay in a piece of Pisa's history than in a standard hotel. The palazzo grew out of two tower houses used by the Knights of St Stephen, passed to the Feroci family in 1876 and reopened after a restoration that kept its frescoes, coffered ceilings and terracotta floors. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, the central yet calm street near Piazza dei Cavalieri and rooms that are larger than expected, many with their own sitting room. Breakfast is served in the café and garden downstairs, and the free minibar and small extras add to the sense of being looked after. The trade-offs come from its size and set-up. Check-in is self-service, the front desk is staffed only during the day and the bar closes in the early evening, so this is not the place for a late drink downstairs. The breakfast menu is short and does not change, and some rooms lack practical details such as towel hooks or a full-length mirror. Couples and small families who want character, space and the Leaning Tower on foot will be well placed; anyone who wants full hotel service around the clock should look elsewhere.

Guests score it 9.5 out of 10 — the average across the 4 hotels we list in Pisa is 9.3.
