Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, especially on higher floors, were very nice and clean, but it was a bit too hot for me to have a decent night's sleep. The location, right in the city center amid shops, bars, and restaurants, was perfect for exploring the area. The dining experience with homemade vegetable cake for breakfast was very good, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a delightful one-night stay at this hotel. The room was clean, nicely old-style decorated, and had a very good AC device. The location was excellent, right in the middle of the old town, making it convenient to explore nearby restaurants, bars, and attractions. However, I noticed that the rooms had fewer decorations and some more utility items, which could be improved.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the room I stayed in was facing the main street and a bit noisy, it was surprisingly quiet. The central location in Volterra was a major plus, offering easy access to everything in town. The dining options were excellent, especially for those with dietary restrictions, although hot entrees were missing. The facilities were satisfactory, but there were a few caveats that affected the overall stay.
