“A pocket medieval village, a fine hotel”

We hiked here from Sorano. We were the only guests for one night, then we noticed another room occupied on the second night. The room was generously sized including a small couch.

We hiked here from Sorano. We were the only guests for one night, then we noticed another room occupied on the second night. The room was generously sized including a small couch. Comfortable bed - decent pillows (hard to find these days). Good sized bath too. Great location for exploring the nearby necropolis. The Duomo at the end of the village is remarkable, with a GREAT bookstore. Breakfast buffet was quite good. Fresh fruit, pastries, cheese, smoked meats, yogurt and an egg if you wanted it. Traditional Tuscan bread has no salt. It was very off season when we visited! We had dinner 2 nights at the Taverna Etrusca. Hearty, generous cuisine from the region, very warm service. You get what you give as a traveller.

“Warm hospitality”

This is a very cosy hotel with very warm hospitality and good location in this very tiny village. The rooms can be a bit damp smelling and have some damp patches on the walls with the age of the building I guess. The breakfast is very goo and the staff are excellent here.

This is a very cosy hotel with very warm hospitality and good location in this very tiny village. The rooms can be a bit damp smelling and have some damp patches on the walls with the age of the building I guess. The breakfast is very goo and the staff are excellent here. After a very poor meal at the Taverna Etrusca on the previous night, these lovely ladies came to our rescue and served up the most tasteful, delicious and flavoursome courses of food. I have to stress, you must eat here if you stay in this village.

“Not quite as advertised - possibly our fault”

On the plus side, very clean and good bed. On the downside we thought we had booked into the main part of the Hotel which turned out to be on another road ( not far away) and might be called Albergo Scilla ( but we never worked it out) which looks nice in the pictures.

On the plus side, very clean and good bed. On the downside we thought we had booked into the main part of the Hotel which turned out to be on another road ( not far away) and might be called Albergo Scilla ( but we never worked it out) which looks nice in the pictures. The room was very small and the decor shall we say limited. And was above a bar shut for the season. Which probably explained it. Sovana though is a lovely place.

“Solid choice in this lovely village ”

Savona is a lovely village, quaint, peaceful but with restaurants enough for 2 nights. Stayed with my parents, them in a superior room and myself in a double for single use.

Savona is a lovely village, quaint, peaceful but with restaurants enough for 2 nights. Stayed with my parents, them in a superior room and myself in a double for single use. I have to say the superior is not very different to a standard (fancier bed), if I was to recommend I would say for the difference on price choose the standard room. All rooms are plain but classic with good bathrooms. They are in my opinion due a repaint, lots of scuffs in the paintwork. A fresh coat of paint would really make a difference. Breakfast was good, fresh croissants, basic meat and cheese, juices, cereals and fresh coffee. Great location and great parking. We recommend the restaurant La Tavernetta for their wild boar main course and EehGia for the second night. We couldnt get the wifi to work unfortunately. Overall loved the village and would choose Scilla again, especially if the rooms were freshened up.
