Guest Reviews
Location
The serene countryside setting offers a tranquil atmosphere, providing a calming retreat just a few kilometers from Brescia's city center. Despite the convenience, some guests noted the remote location can be challenging without a car, particularly due to the poorly maintained and unlit access road.
Surrounded by greenery, the beautiful farmhouse setting coupled with amenities like a swimming pool, enhances the overall charm. However, the isolation in such a tranquil environment may not suit everyone, especially those without personal transportation or in need of proximity to restaurants and city life.
In summary, 'Cascina Volta' is well-regarded for its peaceful environment and strategic position near Brescia, though it is best experienced by those with a vehicle. The overall impression is one of a pleasant, quiet retreat offering convenience for highway travelers and a tranquil escape close to the city.
Breakfast
While most reviews are favorable, a few guests noted areas for improvement, such as the need for fresh fruit, better replenishment of items and occasional inconsistencies in quality and variety. Some found the breakfast simple but still good, while a minority described their experience as mediocre or not up to their expectations. Despite these occasional criticisms, the breakfast is largely seen as a satisfying start to the day with many guests considering it to be above expectations and well-managed.
Overall, Cascina Volta's breakfast is well-regarded for its abundance, taste and accommodating options, contributing positively to the guest experience at the hotel.
Rooms
The hotel's rooms often feature useful amenities like air conditioning, mini fridges and hairdryers, making for a comfortable stay. Some rooms also include seating areas on terraces and enjoy pleasant views of the garden, adding a touch of tranquility. However, issues with the furniture, such as wobbly toilets and narrow showers that sometimes lack hot water, detract from the experience.
Soundproofing appears to be a common concern with several reviews mentioning the ability to hear neighbors or early morning light due to insufficient curtain coverage. Though many rooms are spacious and provide a peaceful environment, this inconsistency with sound isolation impacts the overall quality of sleep for some guests.
Despite these challenges, the general consensus highlights the positive aspects like beautiful, cozy rooms, good cleanliness and adequate furnishings. The conversion of the old farmhouse into a hotel preserves a rustic charm, which, combined with polite service and pleasant surroundings, makes Cascina Volta an acceptable choice for a stay, especially if one values spaciousness and a quiet environment.
Beds
However, not all feedback was favorable. Some guests reported 'Spartan' beds with issues such as mattresses without frames, beds lacking duvets or adequate blankets and insufficient bedding for colder months. There were mentions of the bedding being poor quality and cases of broken or overly soft mattresses. Certain rooms were noted to be uncomfortably cold, compounding the lack of proper bedding.
The variety in bed types was also a point of contention with mentions of double beds being made up of two singles that could separate during the night and foldable or camp-style beds being less than ideal. Pillows, too, received their fair share of criticism, being described as very thin and uncomfortable.
Overall, while many guests have appreciated a good night's sleep at Cascina Volta, there remains a need for more consistent quality in bedding and room comfort to ensure every guest has a similar experience.
Cleanliness
However, there are numerous reports of poor housekeeping with multiple instances of dust, cobwebs and superficial cleaning. Some guests found the property and its surroundings neglected with trash and landfill areas near the parking lot contributing to a less favorable impression. Additionally, the exterior pathway and access road conditions are often described as dirty and in poor condition.
While the environment is beautiful and has potential, the maintenance and cleanliness of the place do not meet everyone's standards. Overall, 'Cascina Volta' offers a mixed experience with clean rooms but noticeable shortcomings in overall upkeep and hygiene.
