What a lovely, characterful, quiet place to stay away from the crowds.
The staff were very friendly and the evening meals were some of the best we’ve had.
Fantastic place to stay. Within 10-15 minutes of the first gate of the city. Very excellent restaurant on site and friendly staff. Rooms were clean and spacious, and quiet at night. If you need the front desk early on the weekend, make sure to talk to them the night before.
Despite some deficiencies, I’d still give Chiostro a top rating. (Booking it you know it’s not a 5 star resort) Our room was spacious,clean & comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. Parking free, safe & right outside It was an easy walk to the beautiful city of Volterra. The dining room is excellent. We ate both dinners there. The breakfast provided was also excellent. All the staff was wonderful & so helpful. The internet in our room was spotty. The staff know & that is being addressed. We learned that the internet is a problem throughout Volterra. We were very pleased & would love gladly return to Chiostro delle Monache & Volterra.
We stayed in the family room with a private bathroom. It was a great experience staying in an old monastery. Everything was great and we couldn't have asked for more. We liked how the property was so close to Volterra.
Hotel mixed with hostel caused us issues as school group staying there were partying until after midnight making it hard to go to sleep and soured the overall experience.
Room was good, not far from Volterra historic town and in house restaurant was ok.
The hotel was so cold. We asked for extra blankets and heat, but it never got warm. They told us it was as warm as it gets. I slept with a hat on and my coat over me. It’s probably nice is the summer, but was just too cold to be comfortable.
The staff in all departments were great, helpful, very friendly and approachable. The reception team bent over backwards to help us when our flight home to the UK was cancelled. The room was very clean, spacious, comfortable and attended to every day. The buffet breakfast was all you could eat with a huge choice of food. The restaurant was good value for money and had a good selection of meals. The location of the hotel was very interesting with a 20 minute walk to the centre of Volterra.
The staff was helpful with an excellent spoken English. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable with additional pillows if needed, and a small fridge. The room has air conditioning with a very spacious bathroom. The atmosphere of the convent was very special with large hallways, a sense of peace and calmness. We went to the restaurant that night and it was very nice. They have an inside or outside area, and we decided to stay outside where the tables were not closely connected to the other tables and there were arches with a little garden in the middle. We had their “vino della casa,” which was very good, and the food was excellent too. The hotel is about 20 minutes walk from Volterra. We had the breakfast included and the buffet was wonderful with different cakes, croissants, cookies, breads, ham or cheese, etc. We would definitely recommend this stay as this was one of the best hotels we stayed while we were travelling in Italy.
Wir haben schon öfters hier übernachtet. Die Atmosphäre ist toll, das Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind sauber und die Betten bequem. Das Frühstück ist auch sehr gut. Es gibt ausreichend Parkmöglichkeiten vor Ort und man kann zu Fuß in ca. 10 Minuten in das Stadtzentrum gehen.
Vi havde et godt ophold! Oplevede dog spisesalen som meget lidt hyggelig og rungende. Værelserne var fine. Morgenmaden manglede italienske oste havde derimod et væld af kager som ikke er noget vi spiser til morgenmad.
La location, la camera e la colazione sono decisamente un punto forte di questo hotel. Personale gentilissimo e sorridente. Peccato che la sera si è svolta una festa di compleanno con tanto di dj e musica altissima e, anche chiudendo la finestra, non è stato possibile addormentarsi prima di mezzanotte (circostanza assai in contrasto con la tipologia della location). Forse sarebbe bastato assegnarci una camera con un affaccio diverso da quello dove si svolgeva il party.

Lo cambiaría por cualquiera
Viejo y pésimo desayuno, le hicieron una lavada de cara al convento y lo convirtieron en hotel, es una pension
Posto bellissimo, camere confortevoli, con tutto quello che serve per un soggiorno.. il ristorante ottimo con piatti buonissimi soprattutto i taglieri e i pici cacio e pepe . Personale molto gentile e disponibile e la location incantevole. È la seconda volta che andiamo nel giro di poco e ci torneremo consigliatissimo
