Albergo Villa Rioddi

Got lots of information on where to travel around the area. Very helpful with questions (where to park, how to get to places etc.) I booked this hotel bc of the breakfast and it did NOT DISSAPOINT! So many local dishes and eggs, and then breakfast dessert with a choice of 4-5 cakes everyday! It was a little hike from the town not very well marked but could easily drive and find parking (Luka will tell you where's it free/cheap/convenient) Spent a day at the pool looking at volterra and reading in the beautiful countryside. I 100% recommend this place especially for the price.

Glad it was available

Everything about staying at Albergo Villa Rioddi was great. My room had a great view of the walled city and the garden below. The back terrace (that had tables with chairs) overlooked the hills and valleys. The breakfast was fantastic. The host gave great maps, recommendations and directions for places to visit.

The location was ideal for this portion of our visit. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was superb. The view was spectacular.

Added 2nights and used this as our base for Tuscany! Wonderful hosts, etc!!!

Lovely location and pleasant hotel. Our room was large and the garden beautiful, as was the pool. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, perhaps the best ever in a hotel of this level. The only downside for us was that the owner spoke so quickly when we checked in that we struggled to take it all in and felt a bit as if we were a nuisance to him. However he did give us all the info we needed and it was just his temperament that jarred a bit from an otherwise delightful stay.

The breakfast was absolutely out standing! Owners were extremely helpful and have their heart and soul invested in their property and business.

Booked for one night-extended another as it is so beautiful.

Gorgeous property right below Volterra which is an incredible town. Owner is very friendly who gives you maps and suggestions at check in without having to ask for them.

We stayed at the Villa Rioddi for one night on our passing trip to Volterra. The hotel is within a easy 5-10min drive to central Volterra (apparently about 30 min walk, but I wouldn't recommend it and especially at night). There is free parking at the hotel. The hotel owners are friendly, laid back, hard working and can't do enough to help you. They gave us recommendations of places to visit, eat and park around Volterra. The swimming pool is a nice open area, with plenty of loungers surrounded by greenery and scenery. The breakfast as other reviewers have said is plentiful, fresh and majority home made. Now the room - I would have given Villa Rioddi a five star review had we maybe stayed in a different room in the hotel. The room we had be given itself was clean, comfortable, had A/C, TV and all the usual things you'd expect from a hotel room - the only thing we found was that it felt like we was staying in am underground bunker with no windows. I'm sure the upstairs/other rooms would be a lot nicer but this was our only criticism of the hotel (and that other reviewers said that it is within walking distance of Volterra and it really isn't) I would stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to others.
