Well-equipped apartment, spacious, comfortable bedroom, but in hot weather you can't use the living room. The owner was very helpful, and the breakfast was okay. Close to Pisa and the sea. Watch out for mosquitoes.

Good garden, not good bed - only sofa, cold floor.

The answer from the host:
You can't vote positively or negatively on a service that you didn't request. The reservation appears to have been made without the breakfast service, so I don't understand how you can assign a (negative) vote Mr. Pawel booked an apartment where it is clearly written that there is a double sofa bed, so I also dispute the observation made about the bed available. First you need to read the information correctly and then proceed with the booking or ask for further clarification.

Quiet location just over 7 km from Pisa. Fantastic family to look after your every need. Iacopo and his parents took care of us so well that we didn't want to leave. The 'Casa Formica' exceeded my expectations, the breakfast was sumptuous and the surroundings were just what we needed after the hustle and bustle of both Pisa and Florence. Good train service to all of Tuscany.

Excellent welcome from the owners who do not hesitate to give good advice. Very pleasant and clean holiday home. The place is peaceful. It is very well located to visit Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano and go to the sea.\n\nBreakfast is excellent and very complete (sweet and savory) for only 3.50€ per person.\n\nA big thank you to Iacopo and his mom.\n\nA good address to keep for the next stay.

We had the pleasure of enjoying Iacopo's hospitality for 2 and a half weeks! The host is incredibly friendly and accommodating! For questions about excursions, he was always able to provide good tips and suggestions. It only takes 20 minutes by car to reach the center of Pisa! The location of the accommodation is ideal! Breakfast is brought directly to the apartment by Iacopo every morning if desired! We stayed in the Formichino apartment! The apartment is in top condition, everything is very clean, and the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for self-catering! The bathroom is pleasantly spacious and fitted with high-quality fixtures! Everything is also very clean there! The seating area in front of the house is beautifully landscaped! One part is covered, the other part has a large umbrella! From there, you can see a large park with trees! I highly recommend this accommodation! We would come back anytime!

I spent a few great days with the family. I felt like a family member since we lived in the same house and also shared the dining areas. The breakfast was completely tailored to me. I got what I wanted to eat. Just an excellent service. The GPS was also provided to me in the completely new environment for better orientation. I would gladly come back here.

Spacious and very nice apartment, with relaxing spaces and, for those who need it, workstations, surrounded by greenery and equipped with every comfort. Strategic location to visit Pisa, Lucca, Pistoia and Livorno. Iacopo, the manager, is very welcoming, attentive to guests' needs and helpful. Very good breakfast with fresh products. The stay fully met our needs, even in terms of costs.

It was a wonderful stay, immersed in nature and tranquility, in a beautiful structure in the outskirts of Pisa and the center reachable in 15 minutes by car. Casa Formica has all the comforts, new and tasteful bath and bed linen. The house is also very well furnished and lacks nothing. Excellent and much appreciated the welcome of the owner Jacopo, whom I greet and thank for the beautiful days spent in his splendid structure.

Very pleasant welcome and stay made simple and enjoyable thanks to the presence of not only beautiful but also useful furnishings. There is a library and a beautiful green space. The place is not far from the main Tuscan tourist destinations (excellent value for money). And you move around by car without any problems. Convenient parking included. Highly recommended! Thanks Iacopo! (And family).

Like being at Casa Formica and maybe even better. It's the first time we find ourselves with no notes to make: everything perfect! Beyond expectations. Super helpful, kind, and caring manager. We stayed in the finely furnished annex complete with everything. The huge well-kept garden and the silence around were an additional treat.

We stayed three nights at Casa Formica, a splendid place in a green and quiet area, a few minutes' drive from Pisa. The atmosphere of this house is engaging: it is the care and attention that Iacopo dedicates to make the environment comfortable, welcoming, easy, and spotless. Besides the time he dedicates to his guests with generosity and competence, also helping you discover the area. A sincere thank you and best regards to Iacopo and his family. Highly recommended.

Beautiful brand new structure, super clean and fully equipped with every comfort imaginable in a bed & breakfast. Spacious and comfortable rooms, complete bathroom with large shower, very comfortable beds, peace and tranquility of the Tuscan countryside with the center of Pisa just 15 minutes away by car. Very large furnished garden with games for children and private areas for guests, abundant and varied breakfast, very kind manager providing advice and information on the best tourist itineraries in the area and various attractions or places. Everything you could wish for is here. Highly recommended. We stayed in a separate villa from the main building and had exclusive access to a two-room apartment with a large double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, large bathroom and living room with full kitchen and French double sofa bed, all brand new and spotless, with everything needed for hot drinks and basic cooking ingredients available, while in the bathroom there were even makeup remover wipes, plasters, sanitary pads, and cotton wool. Outside we had a large furnished patio reserved just for us where we could have breakfast in good weather. I gave a 9 only for the location because for some people centrality is important and the structure is located in a quiet village on the outskirts of Pisa and not in the city, but for me this is a plus because you can enjoy great silence and peace, have a personal indoor parking space available and avoid spending hours looking for parking in the very chaotic, crowded center of Pisa with a great shortage of paid parking lots. It is ideal for moving towards the tourist locations in the area.

For those looking for an apartment as a base for excursions in the area, I would say that Casa Formica is a perfect location. Additionally, the beautiful garden and the tranquility of the place allow you to rest between one tour and another. Perfect cleanliness, new environment. Abundant breakfast and, above all, with the possibility of personalizing it because the manager is very helpful and asks you day by day. Pisa is close by, the Certosa is 15 minutes away, Lucca is 35 minutes away. The sea is nearby. If I were to return to the area, I would have no doubts in choosing it again.

Great and welcoming Bed & Breakfast on the outskirts of Pisa. The room is huge and warm, with a spacious bathroom. Clean, charming, and full of details. Nothing is missing. The very rustic setting is welcoming and feels like being with family. Iacopo and his family are very kind and extremely helpful. We had a good time. I highly recommend it to all those passing through Pisa and its surroundings!

Dear Jacopo, Cristina, and Mario, we really had a great time. Thank you for the conversations and the time you dedicated to us! The room, more than a room I would say an apartment, had towel changes and daily cleaning of the rooms. Many books and magazines were available for guests! The farmhouse has been renovated in what I would say is a perfect way, the place is delightful, immersed in greenery, and at night there is magnificent silence. We could not enjoy the well-kept garden due to the bad weather that did not give us a break, except for the day of departure. Highly recommended.
