Volterra stands on a rocky hill some 1770 feet above the sea level, located between the Bra and Cecina rivers, and is surrounded by strong walls. The district is rich in alabaster, the working of which was an important industry of the city, and in mineral waters, such as those of S. Felice and the Moie, or salt springs. Still more important are the Soffoni of Larderello, from which boric acid is extracted, the sulphur lake of Monterotondo, the copper springs of Caporciano, and the baths of Montecatini Val di Cecina. The area is not only rich in natural beauty but the accommodation, vacation rental, condo rental, apartment rental and villa rental options are unrivaled.
