Sfeervol hotelletje/b&b met alles erop en eraan!
Pros:

Lekker, uitgebreid, gevarieerd, vers ontbijtbuffet.
Vriendelijke, behulpzame gastheer/gastvrouw.
Zalig vertoeven aan het zwembad.
Alles was kraaknet.

Cons:

De afstand naar Volterra centrum via de binnenwegjes hebben we niet gevonden. Langs de grote baan wel gevaarlijk en toch een eindje stappen.

Possibly the best accommodation in Volterra
Pros:

Excellent accommodation. Very clean and comfortable. There was even an option to choose the pillow and/or mattress you preferred, so there is no need to worry about comfort, everything can be tailored to your needs.
The pool was very clean, and the water was pleasant. Each room has its own private terrace area with a table.
The air conditioning was excellent and easy to use. The bed, room, and bathroom were very spacious, with plenty of room.
What I appreciated most were the travel guides to nearby cities and Volterra prepared by the host; they were very handy and easy to use.
It is also certainly worth mentioning the beautiful views visible from the hotel grounds, as well as the lovely sunset that dipped behind the hill.
The hotel, its grounds, and the guests were very quiet, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful.

Cons:

Although the breakfast was delicious, I would have appreciated more vegetables and other fiber-rich options (to start the day "healthily" before gorging on pasta and pizza :D); still, breakfast really wasn't an issue, all the accommodations in this region offered very similar breakfasts.

Un séjour magnifique et un véritable coup de cœur pour Volterra ❤️
Pros:

Nous avons passé une semaine magnifique à Volterra. Le village a été un véritable coup de cœur : calme, authentique et avec une ambiance très bienveillante. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le côté reposant de l’endroit, les très bons restaurants à des prix tout à fait raisonnables et l’atmosphère générale, qui invite vraiment à ralentir et à profiter.
Concernant l’Hotel Residence Villa Rioddi, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. L’hôtel est très bien situé, à seulement 5 minutes en voiture du village, dans un cadre vraiment magnifique et très paisible. La piscine est superbe et l’eau était particulièrement agréable et bien chaude au mois d’août.
Notre appartement était spacieux, confortable et bien équipé, avec une jolie terrasse très agréable pour profiter du cadre. Nous avions toutes les commodités nécessaires pour passer une semaine agréable.

Cons:

Le seul petit bémol concerne la climatisation, qui est un peu vieillotte et ne fonctionnait pas très bien.

Mooi hotel om Toscane te verkennen
Pros:

Prachtige villa rustig gelegen op 4 minuten rijden van Volterra. Schone kamer met voldoende bergruimte. Meer dan voortreffelijk ontbijt buffet met verse taarten, gemaakt door echtgenote van gastheer Luca. Mooi schoon zwembad. Heerlijke locatie om uit te rusten en als uitvalbasis naar bezienswaardigheden in Toscane.

Cons:

Badkamer van onze kamer was krap en douche was bereikbaar via 2 smalle treden. Kwam omdat badkamer boven trapopgang was gesitueerd. Als je wat ouder bent of slecht ter been zou kamer 4 niet ideaal zijn.
