Farm Home Fattoria Voltrona - San Gimignano

HOTEL OVERVIEW

hotel outside Voltrona Farm was one of the first farm holiday centres to be opened in Tuscany; it is family run and for over twenty years it has constantly provided outstanding country hospitality.
Since 1984, we have continued to renew the structure by renovating the buildings and investing in specialised crops.
Extensive gardens surround the farmhouses at Voltrona where our guests may relax or read a book. The farm has rooms with bath and shower, and families and groups of friends will appreciate the home cooking of authentic Tuscan dishes. Dinner is served every evening in the barn or under the stars on the terrace, where a genuine feast of flavours can be had in the company of the other guests who end the day toasting and sharing their travel stories. Voltrona’s terrace offers a fabulous panoramic view over the valley below and is the ideal place to refresh yourself with a bottle of wine.
While there you can pass the time hiking, horseback riding and cycling along country roads, through forests, villages, archeological sites and rural hamlets. You also can fish in the Farm’s pound and, of course, take a dip in the swimming pool that is at our guests’ disposal.
The assistance is guaranteed by our staff: we speak Italian, English, French, Swedish, German, Spanish.
