About

Not so far from the attractive Etruscan walls of Volterra, The Chiostro delle Monache is an ancient Franciscan convent, that was built together with the Church of San Girolamo in 1445 a.C. by the municipality and then assigned to the Franciscan order. Restored as a Hostel, The Chiostro delle Monache offers now some agreeably furnished private rooms, all with private bathroom and shower, and facilities, that you can find in higher hotels. Our aim is to propose a new idea of Hostel, closer to a low cost Hotel, perfect for families, study trip, business trips, groups, friends

Without structural barriers, this facility is well characterized by the internal marvelous cloister surrounded at the four sides by an open gallery, built respecting the drawing of Michelozzo (sculptor and architect in Donatellos laboratory), where you can sit and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the ancient Franciscan Convent, just a good stop.

Very nice but really quiet hotel with a room serving as hostel. Super clean. Walkable to the town and also served by a bus. Minimarket kind of close by. Staff is attentive and helpful but they cater towards hotel style guests not exactly backpackers. Enjoyed my stay and would def stay again. Much less hot than the rest of Italy during summer but traffic makes it unwise to sleep with the windows open. AC works well and its not too noisy. Nice room and bathroom. Add a kitchen and its golden.
