Reviews Casa Fornaciari B&B

cornelia

It was close to the beach. The owner was a friendly lady. For two of the four days we stayed here, there was no good breakfast. We had no fresh bread. There was one pie that stood on the table for three days without any cover. So we ate yogurt and cereals or old, stale bread. There were two dogs that pooped in our garden. The owner cleaned it for us, but we didn't like the fact that the dogs could reach our garden and the breakfast room.

Hello. I enjoyed staying at Casa Fornaciari. Many thanks to Monica and Leyla! For the future, I would prefer a larger room a little farther from the kitchen because I like to sleep longer in the morning. Monica and Leyla noticed this about me and tried to accommodate my morning sleep; thanks a lot! Casa Fornaciari has a great location: five minutes from the sea and ten minutes from the train station. Thank you, Monica and Leyla.

A fantastic stay - one of the best in our month long tour around Italy. Lovely hosts, in a beautiful old building - which is perfectly located between the station and the beach, and central to all that Viareggio has to offer. Great value for money & highly recommended.

The accommodation is very nice, especially the operators are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there is no parking available in the area, which caused us enormous problems.

The answer from the host:
Mi dispiace per il vostro disagio. Purtroppo anche Viareggio come molte città italiane , presenta difficoltà di parcheggio nel centro storico. È consigliabile informarsi prima ed io sono sempre a disposizione per suggerimenti. Grazie

Very pleasant stay. Monica and Raffaela are very kind and accommodating. The breakfast couldn't have been more to my tastes. Raffaela makes wonderful pastries; often you can smell the scents of homemade items. It was seven days of pleasant relaxation in excellent company. Thanks to both.

The property is well located,a 5-minute walk from the waterfront promenade. It has a nice garden where I could enjoy a breakfast with all the essentials. Above all, the delicious homemade pastries are worth mentioning. The staff are very kind. They fulfilled every request of mine.

At Casa Fornaciari, you feel like you are at a friend's house. The property is in a perfect location and the room, although small, has everything you need at a fair price. The shaded outdoor garden provides relief on these hot days.

Casa Fornaciari is a B&B 100 meters from the seafront of Viareggio. The rooms are clean and just the right size. Mrs. Monica will help you with anything you need. In summer, breakfast is served in a lovely little garden. The property is conveniently located for both the sea and the pine forest. Parking is available nearby. For 5€ a day. They also take care of this at the B&B. What can I say, recommended.

At Casa Fornaciari you feel right at home. The mentality and philosophy of the B&B are absolutely palpable, where you can also use the shared kitchen to prepare something to eat and store your things in the guests' fridge. I thank the two splendid hostesses for the precious chats. I will definitely come back. Cinzia from Reggio Emilia.

Our stay at this property was very pleasant. The welcome and care of the owners enhanced the experience - we felt comfortable from the first day, having a spacious, clean room with private access to the garden. Our days started with a varied and good breakfast, in the company of Raffaella, a delightful and friendly person - it was nice to sip coffee and have a chat about future projects. Making the atmosphere even sweeter and more familiar were the little house puppies! We recommend an extended stay, also considering the proximity to the station and especially to the promenade - with all the essential services, shops, and the sea! Thank you 🎶

Austere and strict person, lack of willingness to meet specific customer requests. During the stay, the only service received was the bed remake (never a change of towels or cleaning of the bathroom/room, unpleasant smell in the room). Breakfast starting from 8:00 in the morning. I requested (due to wanting to leave early in the morning) the possibility of autonomously consuming the available sweets, without waiting for 8:00 with the consequent renunciation of fruit, fruit juices, and coffee, etc... Although the request was fulfilled on the last day, residues of sweets from the three days with crumbs around. I felt more like an unwanted guest in someone else's house (excluding compensation) with a guardian who didn't even invite to enjoy the garden for breakfast or for the cool evening. At lower prices, I have lived much better. The lowest rating is certainly on the welcome, not even a smile.

stayed from 09/07/2023 to 09/09/2023

The answer from the host:
La ringrazio per avermi fatto notare tutte le pecche della nostra struttura. Faremo di tutto per migliorare. Per le pulizie mi dispiace ma come da regole scritte nel foglio che aveva nella camera, si fanno al terzo giorno di pernottamento. Per il prezzo sicuramente con 60€ a notte potrà trovarsi molto meglio di così. Le recensioni negative ci fanno sempre piacere: sia per migliorarci, sia per fugare il dubbio che troppe recensioni positive siano pagate. E poi lei ha come indirizzo mail “gioconda”immagino che sia indice di una persona serena e accomodante.Grazie ancora

The small but cozy Casa Fornaciari B&B is located very close to the sea and the Viareggio station. The staff welcomed me kindly, making me feel at home, especially during breakfast served in the garden. The quality of service compared to the price is good. I would gladly return for another mini vacation. The only flaw is that the room was really very humid. Also, I would suggest putting a mirror in the room, as the only one present is in the bathroom, which is not very practical.

I stayed at Casa Fornaciari B&B for only two nights. I arrived very late the first night. The owners were kind, and there is a family atmosphere. The location is definitely a plus. The rooms have remained exactly as they were when the property was a house and not a bed and breakfast. Perhaps a restyling with fewer knick-knacks would have been preferred. Breakfast is served either in the garden or indoors if it's raining. The cups and saucers used are from their services, sometimes mismatched, but this gives the stay a 'homey' feeling. I was not provided with any towels or shower towel, I had to manage on my own. Some extra attention would have certainly increased my satisfaction. My rating is 6 1/2.

Charming Liberty-style villa with a delightful garden, a short walk from the sea and the pine forest. The environment is clean and very welcoming, an ideal place for families with children and pets. The fridge and coffee machine available to guests are appreciated. The quadruple room is spacious and cool, furnished in an original way. The bathroom is small but functional. The buffet breakfast is very rich (with pastries, yogurt, cereals, juices, seasonal fruit). A special mention goes to Raffaella's desserts, a real delight for the palate! It's a pity we only stayed for two nights, but we hope to return soon!

We will be back soon.

Casa Fornaciari is strategically located for a car-free vacation. Just a stone's throw from the sea, with a affiliated bathing establishment and a short walk from the Pineta di Ponente where you can rent bicycles and use them throughout your stay. Monica and Lella are two wonderful, welcoming and very helpful people. The room is cool even without using the air conditioning and has a fridge with a freezer compartment. Parking is on the street (pay attention to street cleanliness) but you can pay for a subscription for the entire stay on the premises. Abundant and always varied breakfast thanks to the delicacies prepared by Lella and Monica. I highly recommend!

Externally nice structure with a convenient location. However, I recommend renewing the set of towels-shower and bathroom (rough at body scrub level), maintenance is needed for the toilet flush (very noisy) and giving a clean to the air conditioner filters. Very convenient the fridge and freezer for common use by guests. Everything else ok.

2 nights in this property, 50 meters from the seafront of Viareggio, especially lively in the evening until late, serviced, but very quiet. Excellent welcome, availability, discretion, and kindness.\nExcellent and plentiful breakfast, although a few salty items are missing (perhaps omelettes and some cold cuts would be appreciated). Otherwise, truly excellent in every way.

Nel complesso siete stati buoni ospiti. Grazie.

luca

I was enticed by the good reviews but the reality I found was quite different. I am sorry but I am forced to write a not very positive review. The room was without air conditioning (in the middle of August) with the window facing a small internal courtyard (on the ground floor next to the kitchen) which the owner had turned into a kind of storage room, where there is everything. On the phone she (or the other owner) had instead informed me that all the rooms were equipped with air conditioning and it is also written on the website. Instead, there was only an old fan that worked very little. The room had a bad smell (perhaps coming from the courtyard). The owner did not provide me with any information upon my arrival (breakfast time, etc.) because she was in a hurry and did not even register my document. Even though the price of the room was rather low, it was money wasted because a room like that does not allow you to rest or do anything. I mentioned my discomfort at the time of payment but the lady did not seem very interested in listening to me and I paid the agreed price in full.

stayed from 08/22/2020 to 08/24/2020

The answer from the host:
Mi dispiace per il disagio arrecatole. La posizione e i servizi di ogni camera sono riportati su tutti i siti. Quanto allo sconto richiesto per due notti il 27 di agosto mi è molto oneroso applicarlo. Magari poteva usufruire del bonus vacanze che la struttura accetta. Grazie.

Hello everyone. Bearing in mind that my evaluation is due to purely subjective factors (it's not a whirlpool that makes me raise a vote nor the marble or cutting-edge furniture in the Casa Fornaciari B&B), my evaluation is always based on few things: how I felt, how I experienced the holiday, how I feel when I leave. \nCasa Fornaciari B&B is a structure, in every sense, the unique welcome from Lella and Monica, smiles and attentions always. \nThe structure, an old Viareggio house (as explained to me by Monica) that fascinates you just by looking at it. \nAntique furniture, breakfast plates that you use just for the pleasure of looking at them. \nHaving breakfast with them is a reason to start the day with a smile, sweet and savory always fresh (the goodness of the products is a given). A little garden that reminds you of home. \nIn short, if you want not just a vacation, but a vacation in your own home, come on in. I can't tell you more.\nDon't expect a 5-star perhaps for the room or the bathroom (which still gave us full satisfaction!). But a 5-star for the soul and the body. \nThank you Monica and Lella.

We are a family with an 8-year-old child. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, but I must say that the structure deserves to stay there much longer. Friendliness, cleanliness, and a breakfast like from a homemade pastry boutique! Congratulations and then just a stone's throw from the promenade. What more could you ask for? Thanks to Monica and Raffaella and to Franco for the sweets! To come back!

Excellent location. Monica and all the staff are always available and kind. The breakfast is the best I have ever had in a B&B. It is absolutely highly recommended.
