    Because of the old character of the building soundproofing isn't the best. We could very clearly hear toilet flushing in another room or people talking/rolling suitcases in the hallway, especially early in the morning,. It woke us up quite few times.

    Lisa and Jenny were super friendly and helpful, rest of the staff was also very nice and professional - we felt very welcomed. They also prepared for us a breakfast bag as we were checking out very early in the morning. Entire hotel has a lovely Italian character. Great location, quiet area, few minutes walk to Piazza dei Priori. The room was tidy and big enough, a bit dark though as it was facing the corner of the backyard, so we had to put the light on during the day. Beds were comfortable, however the mattresses were squeky. Breakfast was fantastic with great selection of cakes, local specialities , jams and good cappucino. We enjoyed sunbathing and swimming in the pool. The area was clean and well maintained. Must try in Volterra: tagliolini nero with prawns at Alla Vecchia Maniera (restaurant recommended by Lisa) and phenomenal ice cream at L'isola del Gusto Gelateria.

    - breakfast was empty except for sweets, when we arrived at breakfast buffet. It seems they were understaffed because the lady was working very hard but she couldnot keep up to assure that the buffet was refilled on time. So it was poor for us.

    - swimming pool (small but refreshing after a hot day walking around) - location - staff at reception: very friendly!!! - you can reserve parking spot for 15€

    The bar manager refused to sell us a glass of prosecco for breakfast. 😀 And absolutely EVERYTHING can be heard through the walls...

    We liked the pool.

    Not great selection for breakfast. Rooms could do with some updating albeit they are very well priced. Despite these few negatives we would stay again!

    Great location within the city walls with optional parking. Nice pool area with bar service. Staff all very friendly.

    Occasionally during our three day stay there was a bad smell from the sewers. This didn’t last long and would not put us off returning.

    A charming hotel in a beautiful historic town. The pool is a great addition in the heat of summer. Breakfast was fine in a lovely courtyard. Staff were very friendly and the off street parking a bonus. Volterra has numerous lovely cafes and restaurants with historic churches and museums. Well worth a visit.

    Although we had two wardrobes, one was filled with excess bedclothes and there were no drawers in which to store underwear and casual clothes. Car parking was a bit expensive at 15 Euros per day.

    Very friendly staff. Large comfortable bedroom with an excellent shower and a small terrace overlooking an attractive swimming pool area. Good location, just inside the city walls and a little more than 5 minutes walk to the main Piazza.

    We cannot think of anything negative about our recent stay.

    Prior to arrival communication with the hotel was excellent. This included them sending full details for access to the car park as the hotel is located within the Volterra ZTL. The car park is adjacent to the hotel. A friendly welcome on arrival. We were expected and as all paperwork was available so we were in our room within a short period of time. As the hotel was a Convent the rooms have been built within the original nuns cells, with each having the name of a nun on the wall next to the door. A nice touch. We were upgraded to a lovely room overlooking the swimming pool and the Tuscan hills. The room was clean and well equipped, including a safe, a kettle with tea (no coffee?) and a comfy bed. The bathroom was bright and clean and the excellent shower had good pressure and almost instant hot water. Breakfast could not have been better with a wide range of plentiful delights available, including fresh coffee made to order. So much better than from a machine. Location is perfect with the hotel being located on one of the ancient streets into the city. The main square, with its wonderful architecture, is a 10min stroll. All of the hotel staff, without exception, were friendly and helpful. It will definitely be our place of choice to stay when we next visit Volterra.

    The location of the hotel inside the very center of Volterra, inside the fortress, is simply great. The staff was very friendly and nice, and the breakfast was good.
