Hotel Di Stefano is frequently praised for its excellent location, making it easy to walk to the Leaning Tower and other main attractions; some guests mention it's also close to non-touristy bars and Pisa's main shopping street. Guests often enjoy the rooftop terrace that offers amazing views, sometimes including the Tower.
