Charming villa just outside the Etruscan gate to Volterra with lovely views to the west. Rooms are large and comfortable. Garden area where breakfast is served needs a bit of work but was pleasant enough.

A beautiful, rustic Villa a few steps ( walk up the steps ) away from the town center. The have some excellent vegan, organic food and wine in their restaurant located at the town center. Above all, Enrique, I assume, the owner of the property, is a genuine personality with a warm smile and with lots of informed about Etruscan culture! Overall, a best stay! Keep up the good work Enrique!

Basic comfort in a traditional Tuscany villa

Location is very nice: it's an old villa with period furnishings. Basic comfort overall: no a/c in the room, only fan. Parking is limited, but there's a free parking in 100 mt.

Location was good, the room on the street side can be quite noisy until late at night, the only thing missing were tea coffee facilities in the room and tissue. Apart those few things the room was good, spacious and clean.

We stayed for one night. The room was fine but very basic. The fridge did not work, the lights flickered all of the time. They went out of their way to help us with parking. The breakfast was served in a little garden which was pleasant and the food was good. The hotel is vegan so only soy or almond milk for the coffee which we did not care for.

This was a family reunion in Italy. We learned upon arrival that our reservation had been lost, and there were no rooms available at the original location. The manager Maria Luisa clearly worked hard to ensure we were well taken care of. This 5 star review reflects her efforts.

Villa davvero fantastica!!! Per non parlare di tutto il dintorno, situata appena al di sotto del centro storico, dove si può raggiungere 5 min a piede. La colazione buonissima, tutti prodotti tipici e fatti da loro. Poi c’è Maria Rosaria, la ragazza che ci ha accolti, davvero disponibilissima e cordiale… da tornare assolutamente! Ve la consiglio!!! 😍😍😍

Acceso tardío, incomodo y pesado

No se puede acceder hasta las 15,30. Primero hay que ir a un retaurante del centro para que te den las normas para entrar en la villa que esta en las afueras. Teniendo en cuenta las dificultades de Volterra para llegar con coche, es incomodísimo y pesado acceder a pie al centro.

Perfecte locatie, net buiten de toegangspoort van de binnenstad. Alles op loopafstand. Gratis prive parkeren mogelijk. Let wel op dat het ontbijt geheel vegan is (dus geen melk, geen boter, geen kaas, alleen plantaardige yoghurt etc.)

Ao chegarmos não havia ninguém na recepção, havia um aviso para telefonar que alguém viria. Estávamos sem telefone ou internet. Nossa sorte é que havia uma pessoa trabalhando em uma obra lá dentro que nos fez a gentileza de ligar. Fomos informados que o café da manhã seria em um bar no centro da cidade, próximo mas a muitos metros de escadas e rampas. Esse foi o ponto por, não havia uma clara explicação, comemos um sanduíche e café e fomos embora. Não indico, alterar do quarto ser grande e equipado. Também o chão é de posso frio

Capodanno in Toscana

Hotel ai piedi delle mura di Volterra, villa decò, stanze ampie, silenziosa, colazione con tanto dolce manca però un tostapane per farsi un toast. Esperienza comunque positiva positiva.

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights, Thur-Sun, last week. This is definitely more of a B&B than a hotel and from our experience, 3 stars is rather generous. On arrival at 3:30pm the hotel was closed and we had to call staff to check in. We waited nearly 30mins. The room we were given was on the ground floor right by the entrance (no.24). It was clean, but rather dark and dingy. There were only 4 clothes hangers provided. The road was also quite noisy. The hotel is just a 5 min walk to the old town, which was excellent and there are plenty of places to eat. Although, you have to walk along the edge of a busy road and I would be wary if you have children. We also returned to the hotel at 10pm in complete darkness, which felt rather strange. In the mornings we were woken by people talking outside our room by the entrance and smoking by our window. Breakfast was fine, but rather basic. As the hotel began to fill for the weekend, parking became problematic, by Saturday we had to park a 10/15min walk down the steep hillside at a local supermarket. On Sunday, we were told to check out by 9am, however at 8:30 reception was still closed. We had to call staff back to the hotel again and had to wait over 20 minutes. It was rather stressful, as we had a flight to catch. So overall not a particularly relaxing stay at this hotel, but it was cheaper than other accommodation in the area. Volterra is an exceptionally beautiful town though and we enjoyed the area very much.

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights. On arrival the hotel was closed and we had to call staff to check in. They said 10 minutes it was 25. Not too much of an issue, as it was a nice sunny day while we waited, but we had a long journey and were tired and hungry, so not ideal. The room we were given was on the ground floor right by the entrance. It was clean, but very dark and dingy. The road was also quite noisy. We were hoping for a room more similar to those photographed. The hotel is just a 5 min walk to the old town

Close to we’re we were going. Free parking and gave us discount at a restaurant in town for dinner. Was cozy more b&b than hotel.
