Clean and friendly but TERRIBLE beds / bedding

Great location and excellent communication about where to park, breakfast was delicious, the rooms are very quiet and the terrace was a nice treat but the beds are so firm that we struggled to sleep, additionally the pillows are not great and very little in the way of blankets, a sheet and a very thin, rough bed cover. While the hotel is great, the lack of comfort would prevent us from returning

Beautiful hotel in San Gimignano

Beautiful hotel right in the main square. Conveniently located so you are able to walk anywhere. Parking is outside the walled city but easy to get too. We had a valley view hotel and I highly recommend. Breakfast was on a beautiful indoor outdoor terrace.

Great location and staff

Great location, right in the central piazza. Do Not attempt to drive to drop off luggage - park in one of the car parks just outside the city walls. We arrived on a Saturday in the middle of a wine festival so it was noisy (even with ear plugs) as we were in a first floor room overlooking the piazza. We asked to be moved for the second night and had a lovely, quiet room at the back. The whole staff, in particular Lisa were fabulous- highly recommend!

We stayed one night while walking the Via Francigena trail. The hotel is located in a perfect spot right in the middle of the main square in beautiful San Gimignano. You are near all.the restaurants, shops and attractions bu it was still very quiet at night. The staff were very friendly and professional. The breakfast was great offering lots of variety. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. Right in the main square of beautiful San Gimignano. Walk right out your door to all the action. We were there during a big festival and couldn’t hear anything from our room that had a valley view. Breakfast was also excellent. Bringing your car into the city to drop off your luggage is challenging for people not used to driving in ancient walled cities! Stop at the red lights in the city even if you don’t see a reason to. After dropping off your luggage you will need to park just outside the city walls. We had a good time having drinks in the square at the bar next to the hotel entrance.
