Inn Chiosco delle Monache - Volterra

Not so far from the attractive Etruscan walls of Volterra, The Chiosco delle Monache is an ancient Franciscan convent, that was built together with the Church of San Girolamo in 1445 a.C. by the municipality and then assigned to the Franciscan order. The recent renovation took back the magic atmosphere of the medieval age and the agreeably furnished rooms, all with private bathroom and shower, offer to our guests a quiet stop in their holidays.

Situated at the entrance of the beautiful Tuscan city of Volterra, the Chiosco delle Monache is really close to the most important cultural cities as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano and it is also easily reachable from the seaside.

Thanking its quiet position, the Chiosco delle Monache is ideal for holidays, study and business trips. There are 23 rooms situated on two floors. Perfect also for families, because of the big multiple rooms.

Without structural barriers, this facility is well characterized by the internal marvelous cloister surrounded at the four sides by an open gallery, built respecting the drawing of Michelozzo (sculptor and architect in Donatello’s laboratory).

Inside the Chiosco delle Monache there are a bar, a tv room, reading room. If you want to enjoy the quietness of this facility, you can sit or walk in our beautiful cloister, far from the chaos of the big cities and from the everyday life. In the summer you can have your breakfast there or as always in the marvelous frescoed entertainment hall, where, by reservation, also lunches, dinners, business meetings, exhibitions and ceremonies can be prepared.

The hotel location was very good, just a short walk outside the city walls. The parking was free, easy to access, level and ample.
