On a trip to Italy my wife and I had the good fortune to stay at the Villa Porta all'Arco. The rooms were very comfortable and the management was just so warm, gracious and helpful. It's a nice walk (uphill...but everything in the area is uphill or downhill) into Volterra and the area is so beautiful. Breakfast at the Hotel... More

When we arrived the gentleman in the reception didn't have our reservation and although he did manage to get us a room it wasn't what we had asked for nor expected. The hotel is in a restored villa but the room we had was very basic and quite small. On the other hand, the hotel is quite inexpensive and they... More

Found Hotel easy, the walk out the front gate is not that bad, just be aware especially if you have young people with you. The room was good and the air con appreciated. Breakfast was good, and the staff helpful. I was able to be understood with my very limited Italian skills, but the staff we all all good and... More

Location and access is a little difficult the first time, gate is on a hairpin bend on busy road. Be especially careful when leaving on foot, traffic brushes toes. Once you have crossed the main road and climbed a few steps you are safe and can be on steep hill into town in a few minutes. beautiful old villa and... More

We arrived after a 65 km bike ride at the hotel and found nobody there, and were thinking: Oh No... But then a very nice old men arrived. He only spoke Italian, but was very nice and helpfull. We got a fantastic room in a real Villa with a fabulous view and noiseless air conditioning ( a big plus). Location... More

This simple hotel right outside the Etruscan Gate was perfect for us. We had two rooms; our teenagers shared a large bedroom and bath on the first floor, while my husband and I had a small room on the ground floor. The bed was a real shin-banger--three of us left with bruises--and not quite as comfortable as most of the... More

Beautiful villa located a few minutes walk from the center of Volterra. The staff there is very simple but extremely nice and service oriented. The hotel is a villa of the 900 and the style is maintained both in the rooms and in the common areas. The breakfast Is very good with a lot of different stuff to really satisfy... More

Our family of four enjoyed the view across the valley from our windows, the air conditiong when needed, and the pleasant garden where breakfast is served. The owners were always helpful, lots of coffee for breakfast ( big cups, they knew, for Americans), hot chocolates for our boys. Simple walk into volterra for strolls. We also made the easy one...

We were fortunate to be able to stay in this lovely villa for four nights. The family are so gracious and helpful and made us feel like we were staying in our own family's home. Our room was huge, the largest we've stayed in anywhere, with a bathroom to match. The views to the valley below and the distant hills... More

Lovely villa just outside Volterra walls,19th C I should think. Picked it for the parking space which was a tight fit for the van, but at a premium in Volterra. Steep walk through the nearby gate takes you straight into town. Quiet, small garden with views, free fast wifi though weak in room. Clean, quiet, large rooms, good bathrooms and... More
