Pros:

周邊山林毓秀，很廣闊，很天然的景緻

Cons:

房間空間太小、無處放行李、到房間的路不平坦而且有斜坡，帶大行李箱移動很吃重。到飯店的路徑要加強指標，GPS到山區訊號不佳，不易聯繫

Pros:

Super Lage, sehr freundliches Personal.
Familiäre Verhältnisse ein Ambiente in dem man sich vom ersten Augenblick der Ankunft wohl fühlt.

Hervorragende Küche mit lokalen Zutaten und Rezepten.

Hier fühlt man sich zu Hause auch weil die anderen Gäste auf Kovetsation und Begegnung grossen Wert legen.

Das Konzept spricht sofort positiv an.

Twee relaxte nachtjes, twee gezellige groeps diners met prima eten en heerlijk relaxte sfeer met andere gasten.
Pros:

Heerlijke tuin, rustig gelegen, relaxte sfeer.

Cons:

Eigenlijk was alles leuk. Wel moesten we een aardig aantal trappen op dus de koffers werden deels geleegd omdat dat toch wat onhandig was.

Great place for people who look for something enriching.
Pros:

Great surroundings, staff, house, concept and food.
One is part of the “family”, seating arrangements facilitate contacts…

Cons:

Very remote and long rough gravel road to get to.
Dinner in the group, takes about 2,5 hours. Takes away a lot of time.

Exceptional
Pros:

Villa Palagione - Centro Interculturale is a wonderful place in a beautiful location with a swimming pool. The owners and staff were very kind and friendly, always helpful and caring. It is possible to stay there all day - with perfect breakfasts, lunches and delicious dinners. The road to the villa can be tricky, so a better (higher) car (or SUV) would be an advantage.

a hidden gem
Pros:

it‘s a splendid villa surrounded by unaltered tuscan landscape. quiet, spacious rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, authentic italian meals. they speak german and english fluently. it doesn‘t say it on booking.com but there are a lot of classes (learn italian, sculpting, photo, cooking) and they take about a week.
loved the pool.
volterra is 15 min away.
everything is taken care of so in theory you don‘t have to live the grounds.
great value for money.

Cons:

the road leading to the villa it‘s pretty bad. an suv or 4x4 would do amazing. the rest should drive slowly and more careful. it‘s just 2 km but you‘ll remember them.
the beds need getting used to but j have to specify i am the only one that complained abouz the bed.

An relaxing stay in a Retreat close to the city of Volterra
Pros:

The room in the main building in which we stayed had a fresco painted on the high ceiling. The building has a spacious outdoor dining area at the rear and pleasant gardens in front.

Cons:

The property is 3kms from the main road and the driveway is an unmetalled road which is bumpy with quite steep inclines and requires careful driving.

Great stay in a historical environment
Pros:

This is an amazing historical building complex which was meticulously restored to its original appearance. Each room is individually designed and decorated. The staff is exceptionally friendly, is available at all times. The breakfast is very good and abundant. We have had the dinner twice and it was very good. The owner made a wonderful guided tour through the entire property and told us about the history of the Villa dating back to 16th century. Molte Grazie per la vostra ospitalità.
