Resort: Volterra in Tuscany
This beautiful hilltop city occupies a breathtaking position overlooking vast expanses of the famous Tuscan landscape. Volterra is not as well-known to tourists as the neighbouring city of San Gimignano, but offers a wealth of historical and artistic treasures as well as some wonderful architecture. These include two beautiful castles, a well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, and a number of Etruscan sites. The town also boasts a beautiful domed cathedral built in a Romanesque style. Volterra is also famous for its alabaster crafts, which are for sale in abundance throughout the city. The surrounding valleys and countryside are perfect for touring by car, and the vineyards of the Chianti region are also not far away, where you can learn more about how this world famous wine is made.

Mrs Lyle, Gillingham, June 2011
"Everything was all we had hoped for from the description and more. "
Mr Thompson, , July 2009
"We had a wonderful time at a great Villa. The owner and his father came around alot to try and fix the pool filter but were very friendly and we had fun talking with them. The arrival arrangments were a little vexing after a long drive and the Welcome Pack was tragic but we soon found the local wine shop and things seemed to get better from that moment on!! "

Mrs Beveridge, Kinross, October 2007
"We had an excellent relaxing holiday in a beautiful location "
Mrs Hopcroft, St. Albans, September 2007
"We had a wonderful time at Etrusca. Although it looked nice on your website, it was much nicer in real life! Your instructions to find it were superb! A tip would be to follow the SIAF signs too! If we were ever to buy anywhere abroad, it would be just like Villa Etrusca - we loved it. Thank you for a lovely time. "
Mr Walters, Paignton, May 2007
"My family has been on three James Villa holidays (in Spain, Portugal and Italy) and we have thoroughly enjoyed them all. "
Mr Leicester, Halifax, April 2007
