HotelではなくAlbergoに！
Pros:

朝食はローカルの材料を使っているもので、質も量も文句なしに良かった。

Cons:

ホテルの名前はAlbergo villa rioddiなので、予約サイトもAlbergoと表記すべき。イタリア語が分からないのでhotel villa rioddiは見つけるのが難しかった。

a lovely comfortable hospitable villa outside Volterra which represents excellent value for money
Pros:

This really is a strong recommendation. We arrived, and the host, Lucca, gave everyone a bit of a super speedy orientation to the hotel and the area. He really goes to trouble. He has a map with lots of tourist routes from the villa, and all you have to do is picture a QR code for each of the routes—he really has done so much work on making people's stay in Tuscany enjoyable, and he is very enthusiastic. Our room had a patio area looking down into a lovely Tuscan valley and plenty of space in the room. And a very decent, well-maintained bedroom and bathroom. Located about 5 or 6 brisk minutes' drive outside Volterra, Lucca, the charming host is embarrassingly generous about giving a lift into Volterra. There are taxis, but they are not always available, and they are slightly on the expensive side. Lovely views from the property down into the valley Very nice grounds and swimming pool. The breakfast has absolutely got something for everyone and is one of the very best breakfasts. I've come across it in several years of Italian holidays. Breakfast is served on a lovely terrace. Looking out for the country for those individuals who are gluten-free as well as the usual hot breakfast of egg and meat and cheese options. There also were several beautifully homemade gluten-free cakes every morning. Just fantastic commitment to looking after guests. Luca's mom, dad, and wife are all part of the team. We travelled in shoulder season, and I must say I felt value for money was excellent, and here was a host who really wanted people to enjoy themselves. It wasn't a case of "we have lured you here and got your money. Now let's get some more out of you." It really was a very enjoyable, heartwarming experience. I rarely recommend somewhere unreservedly But I do recommend Villa Rioddi unreservedly

Cons:

I really don't think things could have been much better. If the property was A one-minute safe walk from Volterra, then it might have been better, but then there would not have been the wonderful peace and quiet that exists around Villa Rioddi.
