They Say...
A stay in this Hotel will be different from a stay in any other. Its calm and quiet character tells us of a thousand years of the City and of the Hotel.
The Royal Victoria Hotel has always been the first choice of those who are sensitive to culture and who wish to add a charming outlook to their stay in Pisa and Tuscany.
In the 10th century the Winemakers' Guild erected the oldest tower in this building which served both as an inn and as their headquarters, the "Università de' Vinajoli" which eventually became the University of Pisa. In the 16th century, when Florence overcame Pisa, the tavern became known as the "Locanda della Vittoria" (Inn of the Victory).
