Cottage vacation rentals in Volterra

Davide and Annalisa's cottage was absolutely gorgeous, exactly as the pictures showed. It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy our last week in Italy. Breakfast out on the patio with the birds chirping and surrounded by nature was a great way to start the day. Davide lit the heater for the hot tub for us and we were able to enjoy a wonderful evening relaxing. Davide and Annalisa were full of good recommendations for restaurants and local places to visit. The cottage is within driving distance of so much - Pisa, Florence, Siena and of course San Gimignano just to name a few. All the amenities we needed were included, the WIFI was great and the cottage was very comfortable. I would highly recommended staying here and if we are ever in the vicinity we would certainly stay here again.

Lovely, peaceful, spacious place with a kind and generous host in Simone. He met us as we arrived and used his wagon to help move our luggage into the cottage. Big rooms, lots of space, many handy supplies in the kitchen. Good shower, comfortable bed. Enough bench space in the bathroom to put your things. Simone was really helpful with local recommendations for restaurants and where to park the car. One day he made a delicious tart and bought us in half. Would recommend staying at his place.

Very good, it was perfect The host were so friendly Thank you very much

Sara and Brian are truly amazing hosts—proactive, kind, and fascinating to talk to. Their home is enchanting, like stepping into a real fairytale. You can feel how much love and care they’ve poured into every detail. It’s one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever stayed in! Not only is the house and the garden magical, but it’s also so practical and thoughtfully equipped, providing everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable. The gym was fantastic, and the house had plenty of space for two families. Even with 2 adults and 4 “monkeys” (our energetic kids), there was room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and celebrating New Year’s Eve with fireworks lighting up the entire region was an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Sara and Brian, for sharing your incredible home with us. We can’t wait to return!!!

The place is located on top of the hill. It has been a pleasure to stay for a few nights at Federico's place. He has been really helpful when we asked questions, to find the place etc. It is a lovely family house. We did not test the jaccuzi because off season but I guess on sunny days it must be amazing. The view from the house is stunning.

Dreamy and beautiful place! You can't ask for better. A breathtaking view, nothing is missing inside, comfortable bed, etc. Not to mention Elena's warm welcome and the good wine 🍷 she left us as well as a large bottle of water.

I experienced wonderful days in this beautiful location, which reminded me of the summers I used to spend at my grandparents' house in the countryside. I only realized coming here how much I need to be able to completely switch off and let time just pass enjoying the fantastic views of the Alpi Apuane. That's how I chose to spend my days, but I note that there would be plenty of hiking or driving around to visit the picturesque villages nearby should one wish to explore the surroundings. The facilities were exactly what is required for a few day stay. The hosts (Laura and Silvio) were present when needed, otherwise they left us to enjoy the place. I enjoyed my conversations with them, and loved their pets. About the place itself, it was as described in the listing, and by previous reviews. I just note that in spite of the extreme heat (it is an anomalous year also in this idyllic place), the evenings were fresh and cool, and the temperature inside the cottage was perfect.

AMAZING place! The views are unbeatable. Very private and unique experience.

This casa is an absolutely spectacular place to stay when in Tuscany - I was amazed by the photos, but in real life the place is somehow even more beautiful and scenic! The hosting is absolutely faultless - we were made to feel right at home immediately with homemade treats, and every arrangement we needed was made super smoothly. Utterly perfect - this was our first introduction to Tuscany and we will remember it forever!

Fantastic stay, incredible views and perfect location. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you Simone :)

The property was beautiful amd loved the scenery and friendly animals such as the donkeys and horse which greeted us each night. Serena and Mario were exellent hosts and made us feel at home at welcomed. We enjoyed a home cooked dinner with a view and breakfast. Very comfortable rustic farmhouse accomodations. Highly recommend and would love to go back as it is close to all in Tuscany.

We stayed here with our two young adult daughters. The home and the views are just magical! The home was well stocked and provided everything we needed. It very peaceful and quiet. The grounds are stunning and well kept! Only a 15 minute drive to the town of Pienza which had some of the best local restaurants. The pool was very nice to enjoy on a hot summer day with a glass of Rose in hand. We we would stay here again in a heartbeat! You will not be disappointed!

Alessia and David were amazing hosts! So kind and welcoming. We felt right at home and their family owned home is a true gem. Stunning views and just an amazing garden with pool, truly private on top of a mountain. You can tell they care bout this house and look after it with lots of love and care, it made the stay so much more memorable. ❤️

Amazing place to relax and enjoy life. Large pool with lounge chairs, perfect outdoor seating at the each unit and a large common covered area too, Shoot a few hoops or play ping pong. Nice laundry machine with soap to reduce your suitcase size. Oh, I couldn’t believe how nice all the landscaping was perfectly manicured. Very well kept place with so much character.

The house of the farrier exceeded our expectations. This was mainly due to the cordiality of Luca, the owner. Although we arrived after midnight due to traffic, he waited for us and greeted us in person. He gave us valuable tips for activities and was always approachable. We felt very comfortable in the house of the farrier and had a great stay. Everything was as described and the house looked even more beautiful in real life than in the pictures. It was very lovingly renovated and there was nothing missing. Basic equipment was available (dish soap, toilet paper, hand soap, kitchen roll, etc.). That was very helpful. Everything was very clean. The location of the house is perfect. 20m away is a small supermarket and there is a very sweet bakery in the other direction. A small bar is also nearby. We took some excursions (Lucca, Cinque Terre, Pisa). The location was really great, central. We will be back!

This was our 2nd wonderful stay and it was every bit as good as the first. Niccolò is a very attentive host and was there to welcome us when we arrived and run through how everything worked. The cottage is in such an amazing location. A short drive from lots of the main towns and villages, but in such a beautiful and peaceful setting. A great place to escape to and unwind. Everything in the cottage has been thought about and is very clean. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had in a long time! Everything was fantastic, both the location of the place and the place itself. We would have liked to have stayed several weeks!

Charming little cottage perfect for a small family in the hills near Florence. Had everything we needed. About 25 minutes drive through the country to central Florence so perfect for day trips in. Lovely walks in the olive groves around the cottage.

Very nice house, tastefully renovated. Large garden ideal for children and evening aperitif, watching the sunset over the mountains in the distance. Very clean and very functional with everything you need for a great stay. The host family is very friendly and gave us good advice on sightseeing and restaurants to visit. Super

Laura is the perfect host and the house is really amazing: very large and stylish, with a nice private garden and pool area. The best rental place ever!

Very occasionally, you arrive at a place and meet people who make you feel so incredibly at home, and that's what Sandra and Cristiano and their B&B do for you. Everything is right, the view, the hospitality, the house, the tasty things in the fridge. In short, a small paradise on earth with 2 very special warm sweet people who we already have in our hearts. The cottage on top of the mountain is in our top 5 most beautiful and best places and Sandra and Cristiano at number 1❤️. Hope to see you again soon and you are always welcome with us in the Netherlands. Tanti Baci, Koos, Karin and Jax

Such a lovely stay at Daniela’s place! It was clean, cozy, and close to a lot of different restaurants and sights! I would 100% stay here again! If you do stay here, ask Daniela about the pasta making class she recommended for us! It was so much fun, and we are so happy she recommended it for us!

This villa was so beautiful in a such a classic way. There were 5 of us, 2 couples in the upstairs room and one single in the pull out couch, near the kitchen. Both bathrooms are upstairs. One in the master and the other outside both rooms. We were only there two nights but wished we stayed in this region longer. The property was stunning, the pool was heaven, and the closest restaurant (4 min drive) Uscio e Bottega was the best meal I had my two weeks in Italy. (That’s obviously saying a lot). The local olive oil farm you can walk to surrounded by the sweetest Great Pyrenees’ was such a treat to find. We ended the visit with a tasting at Nittardi which is a 10 min drive from the property. It was an absolute hidden gem of a place rich with history, beautiful grounds, and amazing wine. We how to come back and stay here again’.

Concetta is the most lovely host! And the house provided everything we needed. Beautiful, remote area! Would gladly return.
