Hotels in Volterra

Our Hotel is new and has been converted from an ancient Monastery of Nuns. The former owner of this Palace, in the second half of 1700s was Anton Filippo Giacchi, historically and culturally famous for his study of Etruscan history .In remembrance of him, you can find also today a memorial plaque over the entrance of the Hotel. In those days he fixed onto the front of the building some urns, boxes for urns and the tops of urns from the Etruscan time, with representations of fantastic animals and scenes of the trip to the Inferno. All this he found here when he excavated the site. Our hotel is located about 60km away from Pisa.

Idyllically set amidst an evocative landscape of soft rolling hills and lush woodland abruptly defined by barren, deep clay walled chasms gullies and ravines.
