The slightly institutional feel of this place failed to impress us. The bedroom was certainly adequate but overall the place seemed to lack the professionalism evident in other locations. It was impossible to get internet connection and their solitary computer was unavailable. The staff struggled with simple requests due to language barriers and the shower was lukewarm on both nights... More

This wonderful hotel location has recently changed hands and whilst the management are fanastic hosts, and the building/gardens/pool beautiful, a few fundamental issues arose on our third trip here in 5 years. Breakfast was sadly lacking in terms of service and food. 8 types of (dry cake), but no orange juice, fruit salad or even cutlery on 3 mornings out... More

We hired a car and went to stay at San Lino for 6 nights to explore Volterra and Tuscany. One of the reasons we chose San Lino was the garage which is extra but we thought worth it. The hotel location is beautifil at the far east end of Volterra just inside the city wall. Its almost surreal in this... More

Volterra was the end-point of a 48km hike in Tuscany and we found the Hotel San Lino a perfect place to rest and explore Volterra. Our room was very quiet (low season) and the food was very good. The staff were very helpful, too.

We were around Tuscany with my family and we improvised a passage in Volterra , where we was intrigued by a long time . The city is wonderful , an urban jewel in the medieval walls. We stayed on S.Lino Hotel that location is ideal , in the historic center with a private parking and nice swimming pool ( was... More

We stayed at the San LIno while on a tour, so we didn't have a choice or the motivation to look for lodging elsewhere in Volterra. After staying at the The San Lino once, I think I would like to explore other options if we return. The San Lino was in a good location with easy access to the Volterra's... More

two part review: the facility and then the service The hotel is in a great location but then again Volterra is small (and wonderful) so just about anything inside the walls near the main square would be great. My single room was tiney (ok by me). In decent shape with a new ish and remodeled bathroom - again very small.... More

We had a great time in Volterra and Hotel San Lino is in a perfect location. Close enough to the walls of the town to have easy access to the hotel car park and good restaurants within an easy walking distance. They have experienced a drought in the area so water was in limited supply but the hotel seemed to... More

A reasonable place for a quiet stay. The pool can get a bit crowded but the room was very pleasant and the breakfast fine. It is great to be able to park inside the walls of the old town and Volterra is less pretentious than some neighbouring towns. There are also several decent places to eat in Volterra.
