Hotel La Locanda

Hotel La Locanda is an elegant 4-star hotel located in the historic centre of Volterra, just a five-minute walk from the Roman Theatre and the 14th-century Porta Fiorentina.

The property is housed in an ancient building that formerly served as a convent and was the residence of historian Anton Filippo Giachi.

Guest accommodation includes classically styled rooms equipped with individual climate control, high-speed WiFi, minibar, and satellite TV; select rooms also feature a hydromassage bath or shower.

Every morning, a rich breakfast buffet with sweet and savoury options is served, as well as gluten-free choices. Located just 100 metres from the main building, a partner restaurant serves Tuscan specialities paired with fine local wines.
