HOTEL RELAIS<br />
DELL’OROLOGIO<br />
PISA<br />
Forget the stereotype of Pisa as a tourist<br />
city. Not far from Piazza dei Miracoli,<br />
where the resplendent Duomo and<br />
leaning tower lie, you’ll fi nd that the<br />
town has a relaxed, authentic vibe<br />
of its own. The real Pisa is a blend of<br />
charming cobble-stoned alleyways, with<br />
locals sipping mid-morning espressos,<br />
sun-dappled piazzas and laid-back<br />
hotels, such as the Relais dell’Orologio.<br />
This exclusive hotel is set in a regal<br />
14th-century building on a quiet street<br />
just 100m from the tower, but nestled<br />
between a homely osteria (café) and<br />
grand, residential homes, it feels miles<br />
away. All the hotel’s 21 rooms have been<br />
sensitively remodelled to make the most<br />
of the original features and are kitted<br />
out with sumptuous furniture.<br />
Weather permitting, enjoy<br />
breakfast in the pretty courtyard or<br />
the airy garden room. Dine at Hallet’s<br />
restaurant and you’ll be rewarded<br />
with Tuscan cuisine prepared and<br />
served with a fl ourish. Stuffed ravioli,<br />
indulgent truffl e pastas and beautifully<br />
prepared meat dishes all look like works<br />
of art – and taste even better. From<br />
