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.

We can only highly recommend this place.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! The room was excellent, with a stunning view, a very comfortable bed, and a choice of pillows. The cleanliness was absolutely perfect.

The pool and the surrounding area were also fantastic. Breakfast was varied and offered something new every day. The homemade pastries were absolutely delicious and truly outstanding.

The staff were the highlight of our stay. They were always happy to help, gave us excellent recommendations, and regularly checked in with us in a warm and friendly way without ever being intrusive. Their tips were always spot-on, so it is definitely worth having a chat with them about your plans for the day.

The location is perfect in every respect, and Volterra is easily accessible on foot.

Un soggiorno perfetto con cura del cliente al top
Pros:

Splendido soggiorno sotto tutti i punti di vista. Lo staff è di una gentilezza unica e il proprietario ci ha accolti fornendoci tantissime indicazioni preziose su itinerari e luoghi da visitare in zona.

La colazione è semplicemente spettacolare, con un salato di ottima qualità e dolci fatti in casa deliziosi. La camera era ottima, spaziosa e con un ottimo livello di pulizia.

Nota di merito per la posizione della struttura: la vista sulla Val di Cecina è magnifica e la piscina è meravigliosa.

Infine, il giorno del mio compleanno mi hanno sorpreso portandomi una torta con candelina: piccoli gesti che fanno una grande differenza e che dimostrano un'attenzione al cliente davvero rara.

Torneremo sicuramente!

Pros:

Lucca is a wonderful host, very helpful and easy going. The beds were so very comfortable! Mrs. Lucca made us a delicious breakfast every morning and there was always a cold beer waiting when we back in the early evening. Beautiful, exceptionally clean pool to be refreshed in. The views are stunning! We were a group of 7 and each of us Highly Recommend Villa Rioddi!
