Thanks to its central position, Hotel Nazionale is only steps away from many of Volterra's major attractions, including the Etruscan Museum, Roman Theatre, Civic Museum, showcasing artwork by Italian Mannerist painter Rosso Fiorentino, and the famous Porta all'Arco. Opened as a hotel in 1890, the four-storey property offers its guests incomparable views, friendly service and understated elegance. A restaurant and a lounge bar with TV are also featured at the hotel. Its many illustrious visitors of the past include English writer D.H. Lawrence, Gabriele D'Annunzio, and the film crew of Luchino Visconti's famous 1960's film Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa, including a young Claudia Cardinale and charming Jean Sorel.
