Guest Reviews
Location
The hotel is just a short walk to the nearest beach and local amenities, including bars and restaurants. Guests appreciate the peaceful environment, which is ideal for relaxation amidst well-maintained gardens filled with olive trees and lush vegetation. The surrounding natural beauty, complemented by stunning panoramic views of the mountains and the sea, adds to the property's charm.
Though slightly off the beaten path, the residence's proximity to Portoferraio—less than a 20-minute drive—offers convenience for those looking to explore the island's capital. The ambiance of the hotel, combined with its thoughtful integration into the natural surroundings, provides a unique and magical experience, making it an excellent choice for families, nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful getaway.
Breakfast
Guests particularly appreciate the serene setting where breakfast is served, either under olive trees in a tranquil garden or in a small outdoor area, which adds to the overall peaceful ambiance of the hotel.
While most reviews commend the breakfast for being rich, fresh and abundant, some guests note that there is room for improvement, particularly regarding the variety and substance of the choices provided. There are mentions of limited options and a need for a more robust selection, especially considering the price and the hotel's four-star status.
The breakfast service has been adjusted due to the pandemic with guests needing to pre-select their choices the night before, which some found less appealing compared to the traditional buffet style. Despite these minor criticisms, the general consensus is that the breakfast at Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio is very good and a pleasant part of the stay.
Dinner
The on-site restaurant, often referred to as Il giardino degli aranci or The Orange Garden, has been highlighted for offering delicious cuisine in a lovely setting. The bar and snack bar options at lunchtime were also noted as satisfying additions, ensuring guests had varied dining experiences throughout the day.
However, feedback on the staff and service was mixed with some guests commenting on untrained and rude behavior, as well as the high prices for certain items. Additionally, while many found the pizzeria exceptional, other menu options excluding pizza were seen as needing improvement. Despite some criticisms, the overall dining experience at Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio's restaurant has been positively received for its quality food and pleasant atmosphere.
Rooms
However, it is evident that the interior decor and furnishings are quite dated with many rooms retaining a 90s aesthetic. The basic and somewhat spartan furnishings, although functional, could benefit from modernization to improve comfort. Despite being spacious and clean, the apartments' worn-out furniture and outdated bathroom fixtures detract from the overall experience.
Guests have pointed out issues with humidity in some rooms, especially those without windows and a lack of adequate air conditioning. On particularly hot days, noisy fans might not suffice. While the apartment facilities are generally equipped with necessary kitchen essentials, some of the equipment and utilities have shown signs of age, such as malfunctioning stove burners and electrical fixtures.
One of the recurring complaints involves cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms and kitchens with some guests encountering ants and musty smells. Additionally, the bathroom layouts, especially those with bathtubs instead of shower stalls, are often seen as impractical and in need of renovation.
The resort-like complex features beautiful common areas, including a large swimming pool with numerous sunbeds, although an extra fee is required for pool use. The surrounding nature and the accessibility to the beach add to the overall charm of the residence.
In summary, while Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio excels in space, location and natural beauty, addressing the dated interiors and improving maintenance and cleanliness could significantly enhance the guest experience.
Beds
However, not all feedback was favorable. Some guests felt that the mattresses were too soft or worn out, although it's worth noting that one guest did report a swift replacement of an old mattress with a new one upon request. Several reviews mentioned the beds being very hard or uncomfortable with issues also arising from the quality of pillows. A few guests pointed out that certain beds were old and others mentioned structural problems with the beds or uncomfortable arrangements, such as narrow or sunken mattresses. There were also comments on the sofa bed, noting it was on two levels and needed to be made up by the guests themselves.
Overall, the experience with the beds varied significantly with some guests having pleasant stays while others found the accommodations lacking in comfort.
Cleanliness
However, while many guests rave about impeccable cleanliness and well-maintained facilities, there are occasional lapses noted. Problems such as dusty surfaces, dirty bathrooms and infrequent room cleaning have been mentioned. Some specific issues like rusty fixtures and unclean kitchens were also pointed out. Despite these occasional shortcomings, the comprehensive cleanliness and courtesy provided by the staff appear to outweigh the few negative experiences.
Overall, Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio maintains a charming and welcoming atmosphere with high-performing Wi-Fi coverage, clean and well-furnished rooms and a well-kept facility that offers a pleasant and private stay. The beautiful, spacious grounds and the simplicity and practicality of the apartments contribute to a positive experience, ensuring that guests can enjoy a clean, fresh retreat in a picturesque setting.
Staff
Particular commendations go to specific individuals, such as Pablo, who is frequently acknowledged for his exceptional service. The hotel's reception also stands out for offering the best solutions and being super accommodating.
However, there are occasional mentions of inconsistent service with some staff members described as grumpy or less welcoming. Despite these few instances, the overwhelming sentiment points to a positive experience with many guests emphasizing the staff's significant role in making their stay enjoyable.
Wi-Fi
However, other guests faced significant challenges with the Wi-Fi. Several reported connection issues with some struggling with slow or completely non-functional service for extended periods. This inconsistency was a point of frustration for many and the Wi-Fi was described by some as catastrophic, frequently disconnecting and unreliable. In summary, while some guests enjoyed a seamless internet experience, others found the Wi-Fi service to be lacking and in need of improvement.
Pool
The pool area is often praised for its cleanliness and the refreshing environment it provides, which is particularly welcoming on hot summer days. Families enjoy the inclusion of a children's pool, which, like the adult pool, is also well-maintained and offers a safe space for young ones to play.
However, it is important to note that access to the pools comes with additional costs and the mandatory use of swim caps, which has been a point of contention among visitors. Despite these extra fees and regulations, the overall ambiance around the pool is considered lovely and relaxing with available sunbeds and a pool bar adding to the convenience and enjoyment of the space.
The facility ensures a peaceful and pleasant experience, making it a notable highlight of any stay at Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio.
Beach
However, the beach's easy accessibility from the residence, coupled with essential facilities and the charm of the small seaside town of Bagnaia, makes it a convenient option for a seaside vacation. The setting in nature and the proximity to the sea are notable advantages with lovely beauty spots and cozy bays within walking distance. For those seeking more sandy shores, beautiful beaches can be reached within a 20-30 minute drive. Overall, the beach near Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio is a decent spot for those looking to enjoy the convenience and natural charm of the area.
Tennis
Parking
Despite some mentions of tight spaces, the majority of reviews highlighted the spacious and practical nature of the parking facilities. The covered garage, located right below the apartments, allows for easy access and proximity, making it very practical for guests. The convenience of having reserved parking, particularly in a large underground garage, was frequently noted as a positive feature. Overall, the secure, free and private parking options significantly enhance the comfort and convenience for guests at Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio.
Family
Families will find the mini club service particularly beneficial, providing excellent entertainment and care for kids. The presence of a pediatric nurse adds an extra layer of reassurance for parents. The pedestrian zones and small dedicated play area, including a playground with a slide and seesaw, make it easy for children to enjoy their stay safely.
The facility caters well to large families, offering spacious apartments with terraces. The warm and welcoming staff further enhances the experience for families, ensuring a pleasant stay with their friendly approach. While some reviews mention inconveniences such as unfavorably structured bathrooms, the general consensus highlights the resort's great value for money and an overall positive experience for family members of all ages.
However, a few areas need improvement, such as kitchen equipment, which includes the absence of suitable lids for pots and a lack of a kettle and coffee machine. Despite these minor drawbacks, Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio remains a highly recommended spot for family vacations, combining relaxation and fun in a beautiful setting.
Outdoor Pool
However, the pool area does come with some rules that guests should be aware of, such as the mandatory use of swimming caps and the restriction against jumping. Some guests have mentioned that the pool can sometimes lack enough chairs and the pool bar and swimming area close relatively early at 6 PM. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall impression of the pool area remains very positive, making it a standout feature for those seeking relaxation and enjoyment during their stay.
Dog Friendly
However, the stay may not be without challenges. Some guests have noted issues such as dogs barking at night and noise from pets locked in other units for extended periods. Rules for dogs are in place, but certain experiences, like having to pay a daily fee of 10€ per dog, were not well-received by every guest and some felt the fee was not justified by the service provided.
Overall, Hotel & Resort Sant'Anna Del Volterraio's dog-friendly environment makes it a considerable option for pet owners willing to navigate the specific rules and associated costs.
