Hotel La Locanda

Hotel La Locanda descritpion

The Hotel la Locanda is in the historical center of Volterra. We are near to the Roman Amphitheatre and to the “Porta Fiorentina”.
Our Hotel is new and has been converted from an ancient Monastery of Nuns. The former owner of this Palace, in the second half of 1700’s, was Anton Filippo Giacchi, famous for his studies on Etruscan history.Today there is a memorial plaque dedicated to him placed over the entrance of the Hotel.
In those days he fixed onto the front of the building some urns, boxes for urns and the tops of urns from the Etruscan time, with representations of fantastic animals and scenes of the trip to the Inferno. All this he found here when he excavated the site.

Reviews for Hotel La Locanda

Review 1：The beds were quite hard and the pillows not very soft. We stayed in december and the heating was on full blast and working well but still would have preferred a down duvet rather than just a blanket - for comfort as much as anything!

Review 2：Best location! Great, friendly staff who had breakfast served earlier just for us one day when we needed it. Free parking available down a long series of steps but you can drive right up to the hotel first to drop your luggage off and then park afterwards. I can't say it enough - the staff couldn't be friendlier and more accommodating!

Review 3：We stayed at the end of September and it was getting chilly at night but there was no duvet or blanket in our room. We ended up putting our day clothes on in the middle of the end just because we were too cold!

Review 4：The location - unbeatable!

Review 5：Lovely folks running this hotel; fabulous location, minutes from the very center of town. Quiet, with lovely back garden, accessible from every floor. Would return without question.

Review 6：Lack of parking on site and many steps to get from lot to hotel.

Review 7：Very helpful staff. Saw to our luggage when there was no parking and crowded road. Easy access to entire town.

Review 8：Nothing major - really one of the best choices in Volterra! They lock the hotel front door after midnight and you need to call the watchman to get him to come let you in. His number was posted on the front door. No fault there. I appreciate the safety and reduced staff on the overnight but we weren't told about this policy when we checked in. Luckily, a sweet couple were strolling by and called the guard for us and explained the situation in Italian.

Review 9：Location! View from our front room, over the street! Room was a good size and the bathroom was huge! Great breakfast. Lovely staff. Sweet hidden private back garden.

Review 10：We were surprised to be charged 4 euro for 2 mini pots of tea when we had an indoors picnic. Would have thought that would have been complimentary. Otherwise, our stay was very positive and I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Volterra.

Review 11：It was easy to come and go while walking around the town.

Review 12：Desk staff sometimes unhelpful Wi-Fi was out one day but otherwise fine
