Hotel Molino d'Era

We are not strangers to Tuscany, but we usually stay at the Hilton Timeshare a bit up the road. Due to my screwup, our stay was broken into two segments. We had eaten dinner several times at this hotel/restaurant and enjoyed it, Why not stay there for our gap days, so we did. The property is out in the country and if you don't want to hang out there and eat at the very serviceable restaurant, then you need to drive somewhere. Yes it's in the country, NO it is not out in the sticks. plusses: the room was spacious, with a TV. No food prep implements. An armoir was provided, along with a desk. There was air conditioning, but we couldn't figure out how to make it work. Since we were on the downhill side of summer, we opened the window instead. There is a nice patio, where you can have a meal, an espresso, or fresh air. There was a garden area adjacent to the patio with tables and chairs, with open spaces where kids could play. The hotel was quite quiet midweek. The restaurant is very good, and they have a nice selection of Tuscan dishes, as well as pizza. There is a breakfast buffet that was included in the price of our room. There were cold cuts, boiled eggs, fresh fruit, pastries, yogurt, bread, hot and cold beverages. espresso on request. Minuses: we couldn't find the room's air conditioning controls. Should have called reception, but didn't. The weather was in the high eighties (F), and we made do with opening the window. It cooled off nicely by evening. The shower was tiny. It occupied a corner of the bathroom and had two sliding doors to close the area off. There was a small amount of road noise, caused by trucks going to Volterra. It wasn't a deal breaker. Summing up: the location is a bit rural, but it really is a nice place, and the staff is friendly, very helpful, and multi-lingual. The restaurant is special enough for us to have gone there as a destination.

Delightful find, six of us had the most maverlous lunch, delicious food sadly we did not have time to go back but it was excellent.The dinning room was pleasant and cool, staff charming and we drank plenty of excellent rose.

hotel con ottima posizione e personale gentile. Sono venuti incontro celermente ad alcuni piccoli inconvenienti. Da rimodernare lievemente alcuni impianti (climatizzazione) , ma molto consigliato. parcheggio privato molto grande

La struttura è immersa nella quiete della campagna volterrana. È una struttura abbastanza grande e accogliente, con una grande corte interna con un ulivo dove ci sono ulteriori tavoli del ristorante, in cui si mangia ottima cucina Toscana e pizza cotta in forno a legna. Ampio parcheggio esterno. Le camere sono abbastanza ampie con TV, aria condizionata ma senza telefono. Qualche dettaglio dei bagni e degli spazi comuni andrebbe aggiornato e migliorato ma nel complesso è una buona struttura e il personale è molto gentile. Colazione non ricchissima ma nella norma, con scelta tra dolce e salato, e consumazioni preparate al momento dall'attiguo bar. Prezzo nella norma. Consigliato per un fine settimana all'insegna della tranquillità.

Buon cibo, personale cordiale e disponibile. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. A pranzo, nonostante fossero le 15 passate, ci hanno preparato una caprese e un tagliere di salumi misti presentati in modo eccellente (25 euro totali, con acqua e coperto). A cena: un antipasto di pesce, due secondi con contorno, acqua e bottiglia di vino = 70 euro. Torneremo prima che finisca la vacanza!
