Holiday rentals and lettings in Pisa

Elegant rentals in the centre of Pisa

On Holidu, we offer you the possibility of finding the best accommodation for your holidays, adapted to your needs and at the price you wish to pay. Most of the holiday rentals in Pisa are located in the city centre, in tall, slender buildings, due to the marshy origin of the land on which they were built. That's why they all have a unique and different charm. You will also find rentals in places like San Giuliano Terme and Cascina or a few metres from the beach, in the areas of Calabrone and Tirrenia. The most common are those with a capacity for 3 or 4 people. You can also find some for 2 people if you travel as a couple or for more if you travel with a group of friends. The holiday lettings are very elegant with stately decoration. Some of the features include:

• Gardens and private terraces
• Swimming pools
• Modern kitchens

Most accommodations have their own car park, so they are perfect if you arrive in the city by car or if you plan to rent one for excursions in the region. Also, if you're thinking of travelling with your dog, don't worry, as there are many pet-friendly holiday rentals in Pisa.

Why book a letting in Pisa?

Pisa is considered the capital of the province of Toscana, located in the east of the country. The origins of the city are unknown, but most of its monuments, such as the cathedral and the Piazza dei Miracoli, date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The monuments give it a frankly interesting medieval appearance as a whole. In any case, it is bordered to the south by the spectacular Florence, as well as to the north and east by Genoa and Bologna, respectively. That means you can get a villa in the Italian Riviera and explore the surrounding regions. Another city with which it shares the Tuscany region is Siena, which is also worth a visit and has magnificent holiday rentals. Undoubtedly, the proximity of all these localities encourages many tourists to make tours of Tuscany and visit them as part of their journey. Therefore, if you come by car to the city and you are going to stay several days at a holiday letting in Pisa, we recommend that you choose one with a garage. This helps you minimise time wastage looking for a place to park your car and that nothing spoils your holidays.

Pisa: capital of Tuscany

Situated on the banks of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the River Arno, Pisa is a beautiful Italian town of approximately 90,000 inhabitants, which belongs to the region of Tuscany. It is very close to Florence, Vireggio and Lucca. Pisa is known throughout the world for the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, which was declared a World Heritage Site, but the truth is that beyond this, the city is unknown to many, and the truth is that it has much to offer. What are you waiting for to book your tourist letting in Pisa and discover it for yourself?

The best areas to rent a letting in Pisa

Despite its small size, Pisa is one of the most visited cities in Italy. Undoubtedly, its medieval atmosphere, large marble structures, and, above all, the great attraction of its spectacular Tower of Pisa are some of the reasons that explain this fact. For this reason, millions of tourists every year look for holiday lettings in Pisa in any of the four historic neighbourhoods. Find a holiday rental in Ponte, the oldest and located to the west, in Mezzo, to the northeast, in Fuoriporta, to the east and in Kinzica, to the south. According to the opinions of other travellers, these are the best areas to book a holiday letting in Pisa because of their proximity to the monumental attractions and because they are the most lively. However, if the centre's accommodation is beyond your budget, in the suburbs you will find cheap rentals, specifically in the beach area, such as Tirrenia. It's a very quiet area with many green areas and close to the beach.

Pisa for those who are passionate about history

Without a doubt, the Tower of Pisa monument attracts the greatest number of visitors each year. Built to be the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa, another of the essential constructions of the city is located in the Plaza del Duomo, and work began in 1173. Its inclination is mainly due to the lack of stability of the land on which it is built, although it is true that after 20 years of work between the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, it has managed to stabilise.

Pisa for wine lovers

Obviously, travellers don't just come to the city to enjoy the Tower of Pisa and the rest of the spectacular monuments of the Plaza del Duomo. In fact, Pisa offers many other attractions, especially at the gastronomic level. This city is well known for the delicious wines of Tuscany, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano. In this sense, it has a high-quality oenologist route.

Pisa for a romantic getaway

Any destination in Tuscany, such as Siena, Florence or Bologna, is ideal for booking a letting or a cottage and enjoying a weekend getaway as a couple. Alternatively, you can get a villa in Livorno, which is 40 minutes from Pisa. The truth is that Pisa has one of the best-connected airports and a privileged location to visit the towns and cities of the region. In addition, the city's own beauty, with its historic buildings, the river Arno and its wonderful squares, is perfect for it. After a day of cultural visits, nothing better than dining by candlelight in one of the many restaurants in the historic centre. If you decide to rent a letting in Pisa for a romantic getaway, we also recommend that you choose it with a Jacuzzi so you can enjoy moments full of passion.

1. Climb the famous Tower of Pisa

Since 2008, the date of completion of work on the Tower of Pisa, after the removal of 70 tons of land, led to the stabilisation of its structure. The monument is accessible to the public. Although the tickets are not cheap, do not miss the opportunity to climb to the viewpoint located at the top. If the price is expensive and you do not want to pay it, you can always take the typical photo as if you were holding it to take a nice souvenir of your trip. If you have a holiday rental in Elba, you can take the three-hour drive to Pisa to explore history.

2. Eat a delicious pizza

It all depends on your pocket. If you don't mind the cost, our advice is to go into any of the pizzerias that are in the vicinity of the Plaza de los Milagros. However, if your budget is tighter, in Pisa, you can also eat very cheaply and well. This is what happens in the Osteria del Cavalieri or in the Pizzeria La Tana, for example.

3. Visit the Botanical Garden of Pisa

The Botanical Garden of Pisa is considered to be the oldest in the world. It is owned by the Department of Botany of the University of Pisa, and its origins date back to 1544. Without a doubt, it offers an alternative leisure option compared to the rest of the city. If you have a holiday letting in Pisa, ensure you visit the botanical garden.

4. Go shopping in Plaza de los Milagros

In the vicinity of the Plaza de los Milagros, there are countless restaurants and holiday rentals, but no shops as such. What there is, and in abundance, are flea markets with stalls where it is possible to buy practically anything. From clothes to wooden figures to food and spices, you can find whatever you want.

5. Visit the Sinopie Museum

If you are a great lover of art and history, you can not miss this interesting museum that is very curious and unique in the world. Sinopies are drawings made on parchment or paper during the Middle Ages that have survived to the present day. A step before the fresco and a rather rare art of finding evidence. This is the biggest collection of medieval drawings on the planet.
