In 2006 I had single room and shower & loo in corridor. This time had mattress on floor in downstairs room, lots of traffic noise. Loo in corridor. No shower. Was told I could wash outside in the yard at nightfall. Alas the penalty of others' abuse of facilities. It is basically a flop house for street people, sorry but that is the best way to describe it. They have room with a few mattresses and no locks, very basic facilities. On the other hand was given a handful of greengages by someone whose house had a door onto the yard. | I stayed here in 2006 but this year v disappointing.

I asked the very very helpful girl at the tourist office in Pietrasanta for help so she phoned for me. However the phone number is OK. | Accommodation is in the former Priest house. The bed was a cross between a camp bed and sun lounger - no mattress and made a noise when you moved. Bed was in a ground floor meeting type room, not sure how many beds were there, probably about 6 or 7. Shower and loo upstairs. I would recommend a stop in the village for those who want to stay in pilgrim accommodation. The village has a shop and a bar. The refuge, although a camp bed in a meeting room, does have a kitchen and there is the all important hot shower. Good community refugio. | Accommodation is in the former Priest house.
