Hotel San Lino, Volterra

The Hotel San Lino in Volterra - this converted convent, originally constructed in 1480 has a superb position within the medieval walls of the city. This Volterra hotel has been beautifully renovated to ally the best of the old with the new, to offer modern comforts with no compromise of the building's historic integrity.

This Volterra hotel lies on Via San Lino, just five minutes' stroll from the Piazza dei Priori in the heart of town. Today, as from medieval times, this square is the heart of the life of the Tuscan city. Look outside the medieval walls, very close to the hotel, and you see the Roman amphitheatre, dating from the first century BC and uncovered again in the 1950s. The path along the wall describes a superb panorama across the valley and to the lovely church of San Giusto.

The double rooms at this Volterra hotel all have minibar, telephone, air conditioning, bathroom with shower, and television. The hotel has internet connections and there is a delightful restaurant, consisting of three interlinked halls. Le Monache offers the best in contemporary and traditional Tuscan cuisine, and of course great wines from one of the great Italian wine producing regions. And from here you can easily get to the major airports, including Pisa's Galileo Galilei, into medieval Pisa itself, to Siena or to the beaches of the Versilian Riviera, on Tuscany's Mediterranean coastline.
