La Locanda Country Hotel

Absolutely perfect in every way.

The hotel grounds were incredibly beautiful. The views of Volpaia and the valley below were spectacular. Guido, the host, was incredibly hospitable and made sure every detail was attended to. He was the most charming and gracious host! We will be back!

We adored Guido and his gorgeous property! Being here was such an escape and he is so hospitable. The rooms were completely charming, full of little welcoming touches, and the view from the pool over the hills is absolutely incomparable. We had some car trouble while we were there and he was so supportive-- he went above and beyond to make sure the mechanic in Radda took care of us.

Guido is great and his angles too, location is amazing and the mansion is awesome!

Guido welcomed us with his cheery smile that remained throughout our entire stay. The setting of La Locanda is beautiful, overlooking the small nearby town of Volpaia and the rolling hills beyond, waking up to this everyday was simply wonderful. Volpaia is a 15-20 minute walk away on foot, down one side of the valley and up the other. The terrain is fairly uneven in parts, so may be tricky for less able people, although the road can be used, but the journey is slightly longer. Having a car is a must really. The swimming pool is great, bottles of cold mineral water provided, towels and plenty of loungers for the number of guests. This is a beautiful tranquil place so only a handful of guests are here at any one time. One of the highlights is the evening Aperitifs outside on the terrace. Guido serves up Prosecco and wine, with nibbles, and the guests tend to gather here to chat, share stories before ehading out to dinner, a lovely way to start the evening. Each room has a small fridge, and there is also a very well stocked honesty bar, with wines, beers, soft drinks etc, and the tea & coffee station (free to use) is very handy. A wonderful wonderful stay here with my wife, we long to return. Guido is fantastic and has some very interesting stories. It was a pleasure to meet him and stay in his fabulous creation.
