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 Walker, Giltbrook, April 2011
"The villa was absolutely beautiful and very reasonable in price for a busy time of year. We loved our stay their and would definately stay again. "
Mrs Groombridge, Frome, September 2010
"The best villa we have ever stayed in, very clean, we were made very welcome by the owner who kept our pool spotless, it was cleaned every morning and evening, very friendly people who even cooked us a meal one evening and supplied us with fresh eggs twice during our two week stay. In no way were they intrusive, we will be booking the same villa again and can highly recommend it. "
Mr Fawcett, Glasgow, July 2010
"Beautiful detached villa in excellent location. Pool was private and whole garden and villa was well maintained. The owner and his wife lives next door. They were very friendly and helpful, and importantly respected our privacy. We felt welcome and had a wonderful 2 weeks. Can't believe it's over, can't wait to go back! "

"The villa at Il Chiassale is in a beatiful and tranquil part of Tuscany. The owners, who live in the adjacent villa, were very helpful and friendly. This was our first experience of a villa hoilday and we were totaly impressed. I made most of the arrangemnets through the website and booked flights indepependently, but on the two occasions when I contacted the office by phone, your staff were very friendly and helpful. "
