“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 15, 2012

Clean comfortable with nice staff and a good breakfast. Appreciated the easy no hassle free parking. It is a bit of a hike all up hill into Volterra but worth every step of the way. Mgt is very helpful with spot on restaurant recommendations and highlights not to miss in town.

“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

One of the best hotels I’ve ever been. Hotel looks very new and well decorated. Rooms are large, well-appointed with big bathrooms. For me it was very important that hotel should have parking, and this hotel has. Location is perfect for those who drive a car - it’s very easy to find hotel. Though the hotel is situated outside ancient town’s walls it is very close to them and it takes no more than 10 minutes to go there.
It was raining when we arrived and while I was parking my car, man from reception went out with umbrellas for us. He was extremely helpful and pleasant person.
Breakfast was very good, there were mostly pastries but the choice was really great.
It’s a pity we were able to spend just a single night in this place.

“Hotel Sole - hard to beat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2011

A great 3 star hotel and excellent value for money. The room was large, great bathroom, and the entire place was spotless. After travelling around Umbria and Tuscany for 10 days and staying in over 6 hotels, Hotel Sole was by far the best hotel I stayed in.
As other reviews say, it is located outside the 'walls' of Volterra, but is only a 10 minute walk, or a 5 minute drive.
Francesco offered me a coffee (Illy of course) as soon as I arrived, so it had a very homely feel from the time I walked in. The bed was very comfortable, room was warm, shower pressure was good, towels were huge and the room was tastefully decorated. There was free wifi available in the rooms as well as cable television.

The breakfast was excellent - a selection of pastries, doughnuts, fresh fruit, bread, ham cheese, yoghurt, fresh juice,cereal and coffee to order. When I was making the reservation, Francesco also advised me of a cheaper deal if I used booking.com website as opposed to booking direct through him - which I was grateful for.

I would stay here again and definitely recommend to fellow travellers.
