Albergo Etruria Review

The elevator-less Etruria is housed in an 18th-century palazzo on one of the town's main drags, which is packed with strolling Volterrans every evening. The rooms and bathrooms have been completely refurbished, and there are some hidden treats, such as the stretch of 5th-century-B.C. Etruscan wall up on the second floor. A rooftop garden overlooks the terra-cotta roofs of Volterra and hides a gate opening directly into the city's manicured public gardens, the Parco Archeologico. The rates change according to the season, and in winter they prefer you take bed-and-breakfast.

Facilities:
Babysitting; bike rental; concierge; Internet; room service (breakfast and bar)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
