We loved staying here. The hotel was charming, the breakfast was amazing and the location was good. We had the benefit of staying outside of town, giving us the views that we wanted, but yet we were close enough to walk into town. I will say that the walk can be a bit treacherous - you just have about 1... More

The room was very large and clean you can't beat it for the price. The breakfast was excellent and the morning attendant was extremely pleasant and attentive. We only stayed for one night but very much enjoyed it! It's located right outside the main gate of the city and does require you to walk up a very steep hill, it... More

Villa Porta all' Arco is in a lovely historic building just outside the main gate to Volterra. The rooms, spacious, airy, and comfortable, are not luxurious, but they ooze charm. The owner treats her guests as if they were family, concerned for their comfort and enjoyment. Her knowledge of the town and surrounding area is vast and helpful. Breakfast was... More

It is strange to write a review for a place we didn't end up staying. Because of sickness in our family, we had to cancel our trip. Antonella was just as prompt and courteous to work with on the needed cancellations as she was on the initial reservations. We look forward to staying at Antontella's in Volterra for the 1398...

Very pleasant though not luxurious room with a beautiful view. Pleasant host. Very close to, but not in, the walled city of Volterra. Fabulous breakfasts! A selection of wonderful cakes made by the host's mother, the best ricotta pie I've ever eaten (not sweet!), fruit, cheese, hard cooked eggs, prosciutto, great coffee. More

We spent our first night in Italy here. The hotel is a family home of the owner that has been converted into a hotel. The owner is so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The rooms have a lot of character and comfortable. Great views and a short walk into town. We drove and had a very hard time finding the hotel... More

My husband and I recently spent 6 nights in this B&B, which is run by 3 sisters who are very pleasant. The old building is attractive, but on a narrow main road. There are numerous steps to the nearest city Gate, followed by a steep climb into the beautiful city of Volterra. This should have been mentioned on the Website.... More

We stayed here on our roundtrip through Italy (I admit we picked this Tuscan hill town because I had read Twilight and couldn't help myself). We got more than we expected! This Tuscan villa was beautiful, and had lots of athmosphere. Our room was large, clean, and cool even in the summer heat. Breakfast was served outside in the garden... More

We stayed here in March 2011, our room was a good size and very clean, not the room I had requested in my booking request, and we had made the hotel aware it was our wedding stay.. The room opposite had its bathroom where our headboard was, so every time someone flushed or used the bathroom we could hear. The... More

Abbondanza for its very generous, home-cooked breakfast. . .not just one but three tortes made by owner Antonella's mother . . .errano molto deliziose! Even the caffe latte was served in larger cups as you would make for yourselves at home. Simpatica for Antonella's old fashioned warm-hearted personality. She makes you feel like family. . .important to solo traveller like... More
