Very charming small hotel. Clean and comfortable. Hosts were lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast offerings were fresh and delicious. Perfectly situated to explore Voltera. we stayed on a Friday night and it was a bit loud outside with young adults enjoying themselves. Ask for a room not facing the street if you’re a light sleeper. Regardless, we’d stay here again.

I don’t recommend staying on a Friday or Saturday as the surrounding area can be very noisy at night. Linens could use updating but it is an affordable option in a prime area! Staff very kind and helpful.

The Moretti family welcomed us as if we were guests in their home. We loved the garden cafe, the views were lovely and the servers were very sweet. Definitely visit the artisans around town, they like to talk about their craft. This stop was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Italy.

Great hotel with a superb staff - met by owner when we showed up early and he recommended wonderful lunch option, held our bags until the room was ready, and then made dinner reservations at a truly outstanding local restaurant. The property is right in the middle of everything, although it is not noisy nor crowded - and the room had a wonderful shower (something that isn't necessarily common.) I would definitely recommend a stay.

Albergo Etruria is the perfect place to stay in Volterra! Perfectly located in the center of this ancient, vibrant and atmospheric Tuscan hill town (my favorite of them all), the period building and decorations perfectly evoke the mood of the town. The husband and wife owners are fantastically helpful in every way; providing advance guidance to an easy place to park (usually a nightmare in these Tuscan towns where no-cars are permitted in the old city); and enthusiastic recommendations to the local restaurants and activities they actually know because they live there and not because it is their "job." Breakfast is huge and delicious, and everything is spotlessly clean.

Charming decor; owners and staff quite personable and attentive. Hotel in great location with a large, relaxing terrace. Leave by the front door and you are on a bustling street with many shops and restaurants. Leave by the rooftop terrace higher up the hill and you are steps from a large peaceful park.

Eclectic decoration in a wonderful hotel
At first glance this hotel does not look great. Narrow corridors, shabby hall carpet, eclectic decor. But this hotel is a gem. Rooms are spotlessly clean, great bathrooms wonderful and helpful staff, hot water and the best breakfast ever. I can highly recommend it.

Warm welcome in an excellent location
We received a very warm welcome with the offer of help with our bags, free parking nearby and a map and information about the town. The garden bar was delightful for a late afternoon drink as the sun was setting. Attention to detail with the lovely decor. The breakfast was comprehensive and delicious, the coffee excellent, and once again the staff charming.

A wonderful friendly, central, quiet hotel.
The location was fantastic, central and walking distance from the bus stop. The family and reception staff were all very friendly and lovely people, and gave me good instructions on how to reach them. The rooftop terrace bar was a delightful place to rest and enjoy a light meal or an evening drink before dinner and I used it a lot when I needed a rest day. The breakfast was fantastic with a delicious range of cakes to supplement cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, ham, cheese and eggs as well as an array of toast, pastries and cookies and the girls remembered that I like cold milk in my English breakfast tea, and I like it at the end of my breakfast. Full marks for attention to detail. My room was spacious and light, again as I had requested and it had a lovely modern bathroom with the biggest shower recess that I have had in any Italian room yet. The only downside was the bed as it was very hard and not good for my back. But this is a problem I have had with most Italian beds. Most beds I have struck have been too hard and Italy just does not seem to know about mattress toppers to put on top of the mattress to give a softer feel. But I would not have changed my hotel as everything else was wonderful.

One of our favorites
This was one of our two favorite hotels of the 7 we stayed at on a 2-week trip to Italy. The hotel is beautifully renovated, and thoughtfully designed. It's an incredibly appealing and attractive place to stay. The staff is very friendly, the room was very comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was excellent. There is also a great roof terrace that they open in good weather. Volterra was our favorite stop on an 8-day road trip in Tuscany.

Delightful Hotel and Location, Secret Garden Bar
We loved our stay in this family run boutique hotel with individually decorated rooms. We chose Volterra for the Etruscan museum and got an email from the hotel to let us know the annual Medieval festival would occur during our stay with an offer of discounted tickets. The festival was great fun, enhanced by the chance to head back to our nearby room between events. All of the staff- front desk, breakfast room and bar -were excellent and made us feel very welcome. As others have mentioned, the breakfast is exceptional with a lot of variety and the whimsical wall painting is lovely. We especially enjoyed the roof garden bar with access to the archaeological park and were astonished to find it deserted. It’s a hidden treasure with enormous potential – don’t miss Dario’s Etruscan Surprise cocktail!

Relaxing and convenient
I was given a warm welcome and smiles at my arrival. My room was comfortable and lovely decorated, sweet details done by hand. The breakfast room is adorable and the buffet was the best of my three week trip, complete with Nonna's cake. Paola and her cousin have spent much time decorating the hotel. Definitely family pride here.

We loved our stay at Albergo Etruria
We stay in Volterra for one night at Albergo Etruria and loved it so much we booked another night. The hotel is in a fabulous location, our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The hotel has great charm and the staff were so kind and helpful in assisting us with whatever we needed. The breakfast was also good. This really is a little gem for the price you're paying and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone travelling to Volterra. Can't wait to go back again.

It cannot be praised enough!!!
My partner and I spent one night in Volterra and we could not believe our luck when we walked in to the Albergo Etruria. We were made to feel immediately welcome and a family feeling permeated our whole time there. The hotel is imaginatively and beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable, situated in a wonderful location and there is an attention to detail which is very rare nowadays. A beautiful feeling of tranquility exists throughout the hotel. Our room, 26 'Il balconcino', was particularly tastefully decorated, and we had the feeling that the Albergo and its guests are truly loved by the family taking care of it. We also very much enjoyed the breakfast we had before leaving and the home made cuisine, whether cakes or fruit preserves are delicious. The garden at roof top level provides superb views and has a great bar available too. We could continue talking about how wonderful this place is but I believe that you have to go there yourself and experience it. It is a little gem!

A great stay in Volterra
This hotel was by far the best place we stayed out of the three hotels we stayed in Italy! From the time we checked in, to the time we checked out, our stay at Albergo Etruria could not have been better. The Moretti Family is so friendly and helpful and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. The dinner recommendation afforded us the best meal we had during our 8 night stay in Italy. The day we were checking out, we were leaving before breakfast began. Paola offered for us to go in early and even made our cappuccino and tea. The only thing that was a bit problematic was our room overlooked the front street and there was quite a bit of noise from the bars and restaurants until very late. The windows are double glazed and in the cooler weather, when you don't need them open, I don't think you would even hear the noise. Because it was summer, it was an issue for our sleep. When we return-which we will, we will ask for a room away from the street.
