La proprietà — Le Selvole
Le Selvole is a functional 3-star hotel just off the A12 motorway, a 15-minute drive from Pisa's airport and the Leaning Tower. Its lobby feels like a well-kept chain business hotel: clean, efficient, with a small bar and free parking. This place suits drivers doing a one-night stopover or budget travellers who want a reliable base near the city without paying city-centre prices.
Cronache di Pisa
Pisa began as a Greek settlement, then Etruscan, before becoming a major maritime republic in the 11th–13th centuries, its navy dominating the Mediterranean. The city’s wealth built the Cathedral and the Leaning Tower, but its defeat by Genoa at the Battle of Meloria in 1284 ended its golden age. Under Medici rule from 1406, Pisa was absorbed into Tuscany and its university, Galileo’s alma mater, became the focus. Today, Pisa balances its tourist magnet—the Campo dei Miracoli—with a working port, strong engineering and robotics sector, and a lively student nightlife around Piazza delle Vettovaglie.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Pisa →I migliori mesi
April to June and September to October: warm (17-25°C), low humidity, far fewer crowds than summer peak, and the city's gardens and river walks are at their best.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: temperatures hit 33°C, and the Campo dei Miracoli is packed with day-trippers. Hotel prices double; book well ahead. The Luminara festival on 16 June lights the Arno with candles, but the main pull is the summer holiday mass tourism.
Stagione di spalla
Late October and early November: 40-50% cheaper rooms, 12-18°C, clear skies. Still pleasant for sightseeing, and several museums (like Palazzo Blu) are quieter. Avoid late November’s rain.
Meteo e imballaggio
Pisa’s climate is Mediterranean but humid due to the Arno and nearby sea, so July afternoons feel muggy. Pack a lightweight, breathable long-sleeve shirt — it protects from sun while the breeze off the river keeps you cool.
Briefing della città — Pisa
- Pisa’s main railway station (Pisa Centrale) is undergoing platform upgrades until October 2026; allow an extra 10 minutes for platform changes or bus diversions to the airport.
- The 'Camminando tra le Stelle' evening open-air market runs every Saturday in July along Via Santa Maria, closing the street to traffic from 18:00 to midnight.
- A new cycle lane along the Arno, from Ponte di Mezzo to the Porta a Mare area, opened in March 2026, making riverside bike rentals a practical way to dodge traffic to the Leaning Tower.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Le Selvole, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (3rd floor) for a quieter experience. The single small lift serves all three floors, but it's narrow, so you may encounter delays or have to wait for a lift. Given the hotel's location on Via Le Selvole, a relatively quiet street in Pisa, you're less likely to be disturbed by external noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as you'll be closest to the main entrance with three steps, which may not be convenient for guests with mobility issues. Additionally, the lift is located on the first floor, so you may hear more noise from the lift's operation.
Best views
Unfortunately, there's no information on the hotel's orientation or whether rooms have views. Pisa is known for its historic center, so it's likely that some rooms may have views of the surrounding rooftops or streets.
Quietest floors
The 2nd and 3rd floors are likely the quietest, as they're farther from the main entrance and lift.
🔊 Noise notes
You may hear some noise from the lift operation, especially if you're on the first floor. Additionally, the hotel's location on Via Le Selvole is generally quiet, but you may still hear some noise from passing traffic.
Insider tips
Be prepared for a potentially narrow lift, and consider taking the stairs if you're not comfortable waiting or have mobility issues. If you're driving, consider using the nearby Parcheggio Via Pietrasantina public car park, which is €12 per 24 hours, rather than the hotel's unsecured parking.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
