Overlooking the magnificent Piazza del Duomo in Pisa, the Prato dei Miracoli period residence recounts the millennia-old tale of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This verdant expanse is home to four iconic mediaeval monuments celebrated across the globe: the famous Leaning Tower, the Campo Santo, the Baptistery, and the Cathedral.
Housed within an ancient building, once part of a 12th Century complex and subsequently repeatedly altered over time, the 19th Century palazzo has undergone a recent restoration, which transformed it into a period residence.
Restored to their original glory, the 13 guest rooms currently offer a harmonious blend of historic elegance and modern comfort, with frescoed walls and ceilings recalling the vibrant furnishings. From beige to ochre yellow, antique rose and cobalt blue, he elegant full-height padded fabric headboards in fact match the curtains and some of the furnishing details. However, the most extraordinary and unforgettable experience is the unparalleled view of Piazza dei Miracoli and the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa: each window is like a masterpiece that can be enjoyed from the comfort of one’s room.
While the past is meticulously preserved, a contemporary touch emerges thanks to Vimar technology, which integrates seamlessly and subtly. Specifically the Well-contact Plus hotel management system, developed to KNX standard, designed to enable smart hospitality, while respecting history. At Prato dei Miracoli, the Well-contact Plus KNX system matches the styling of the Linea wiring series. The check-in and check-out procedures, notifying the presence of guests, status of the lights and temperature, technical or emergency alarms: everything can be programmed and supervised from the reception desk. This smart technology simplifies the staff’s tasks and allows guests to enjoy their stay in full comfort. Thanks to Well-contact Plus KNX, once the card has been inserted into the transponder card readers, the lights are activated, the temperature is brought to the desired level, and the presence of the guest is promptly notified to the reception desk - a veritable operational control room, also designed to manage access control, with the Tab 7S UP hands-free white video door entry indoor station and Pixel outdoor entrance panel from the Elvox Video door entry system. Additionally, Vimar's Elvox CCTV video surveillance systems, managed by a single CVM CCT Manager software, allow for the centralised monitoring and management of NVRs and IP Dome cameras, ensuring constant and secure supervision, all also controlled from reception.
With its unmistakable clean-cut design, the Linea series blends in seamlessly with this elegant period setting. The canvas coloured push buttons and painted technopolymer cover plates - in silver and brushed gold versions - adapt to the stylistic canons of the past. The aligned controls with patented in-line technology, featuring a gentle curve to make use even more straightforward, discretely protrude from the walls, as do the lighting details, which feature a distinctive illuminated mark to identify their function, even in the dark.
The Prato dei Miracoli Period Residence is much more than just an accommodation facility in the heart of Pisa; staying here means enjoying a unique experience, where the charm of the past comes together with Vimar’s positive energy, which blends in seamlessly while respecting history.
