The hostess was very welcoming and helpfup. The hotel is perfectly situated after the entrance gates to Volterra and just a short walk up to the main square. The breakfast was a beautiful experience. The hostess ensured we had our own private family table. The food was fresh with many options and coffee to our liking. The decor and rooms have beautiful old century touches with modern amenities (nice bathroom and shower). Beds were huge and fit a family of 4 comfortably. Our taxi was arranged seamlessly on a Sunday as we had no options for public transportation.

Nothing. All was exquisite!would stay here again 100% great value for money.

La Locanda is perfectly located in Volterra: right near a main port so you can easily drop off things before parking (for free, in Docciola parking), there is a nice little park area for dog business, and you have immediate access to the central areas of Volterra too. The hotel location was very quiet (unfortunately other guests were not), it is nicely appointed in the room and in very good condition, and the staff are the highlight! Every one of the staff members were caring, friendly, accommodating and a wealth of information. Also, the breakfast was wonderful--plenty of healthy options like yogurt with fresh fruit and granola, and nice meats/cheeses, but my favorite were the homemade tarts/cakes on offer too. The room was nice and large, the bed was very comfortable (even the pillows, which is rare), and a nice large bathroom. Overall a wonderful stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at La Locanda again. Lastly, we loved the big, beautiful windows with full-dark shades/shutters too.

The only thing we didn't like was that our room had a large jet tub (could be fun, but I like showers), but that was 100% our fault as that was the only room available on Booking. I only mention to ensure you ask if you are adamant about a shower. The tub had a sprayer, so it worked fine. Also, the doors are pretty thin, and sadly some other rude guests who got back late were rather loud at late hours, so just bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

La Locanda, Volterra, The hotel was easy to find and close to two pay parking lots. The staff was friendly and helpful! Our room had a comfy bed, large bathroom with a big towel warming rack. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay in such comfortable surroundings. The breakfast room was nicely appointed and breakfast options included hard boiled eggs, a good selection of sweet and savory items and coffee made to order. We throughly enjoyed the updated Guarnacci Museum full of Etruscan treasures!

The room was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped with tons of hot water. The included continental breakfast was quite nice and provided everything you would need. The staff was friendly and outgoing

We had difficulty locating the hotel entrance - our GPS which had worked perfectly for the previous 12 days, failed us big-time in Volterra. It was likely user error, but if you are in a vehicle and attempting to drop off your luggage, you are best served by going directly to the Porta Fiorentina and either parking in the small, paid lot right by the Gate or taking advantage of the short-term free parking on the side of the road across from the paid parking lot. At this point you are a short walk to the hotel entrance. The free parking is located in the Camper Parking Lot which is located down a set of stairs (over 100 steps) in either direction. The walk is not for the faint-hearted.

Hotel La Locanda is a lovely small hotel centrally located inside the walled city of Volterra. We were greeted warmly by our lovely host and given information about the hotel and the city. Our room was a good size, clean and comfortable, the breakfast was very nice and plentiful and the entire ambiance of the hotel was enjoyable. Volterra is a compact, beautiful walled city which, despite being on top of the inevitable hill, is fairly easy to walk around. We really enjoyed our brief visit and would recommend La Locanda and Volterra for a visit.

This isn’t a criticism of La Locanda but a comment on the common difficulty with vehicle access to most European walled cities. Although our host explained in advance that it was possible for us to drive into the restricted area in order to drop our luggage (provided we registered our number plate with the hotel) we decided, on the basis of previous experiences with multiple fines caused by our ignorance of local traffic laws, to park outside the walls. There is a large undercover car park at the main entrance to the town which is safe and inexpensive. Although it is about a 10–15 minute walk to the hotel, it is mainly downhill. By the time we left we had worked out a quicker way to get our bags back to the car.

Nice sized bedroom, good sized bathroom (for Italy). Very comfortable bed and linens. WiFi worked well. Staff were very helpful. Nice continental breakfast (Anglo-Saxons should note that cooked breakfasts are subject to a surcharge!). The hotel has an elevator!

Parking nearby is a nightmare (not the hotel's fault). Read their emails, and follow their suggestions and advice. Likewise, Friday night revelry in the street outside continued until after midnight (again not their fault).

I never expected to have such a great hotel in such an old building. Location: perfect one. Near the parking, but also in Volterra, so you can mix you travel with sightseeing and still have your car around. Breakfast: Very good! Compared to other Italian hotels, where you get primarely sweets, here you get quite a lot more. Room: We stayed in the family room and it is huge and very specious! Air Con was working smooth and it was very pleasant.

Everything was perfect!

My room was large with lots of outlets. It had a Jacuzzi tub which was wonderful. The first time I had trouble turning it on and a lovely woman from the front desk came to my room to help. The breakfast buffet had a nice variety of food and a sweet server who made my espresso a doppio . The recommended parking lot was a two minute walk to the hotel. And having a lift was a treat. I would definitely stay there again.

The location is unbeatable, it is a walking distance to the whole town. The bedroom decor was beautiful, it was very clean and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was huge. The staff was very helpful and kind giving indications of were to park for free and the breakfast was delicious.

We liked EVERYTHING!

The hotel is located close to the town center in easy walking distance to museums, restaurants, and sights. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Convenient overnight parking is just a block or two away. Our room was quite large and comfortable. Good breakfast.

As an urban hotel in a predominantly walking city, it is a bit challenging for those who arrive by car as we did. Fortunately, the route only requires a couple of turns to reach the hotel after entering the town. Once the car is unloaded, parking is straight ahead a couple of blocks.
