Right on the piazza and a room with valley view and room was sound proof and quiet. Updated room looks new. Breakfast available for fee. Hotel staff are nice. Parking wasn’t too far. Parked in P2. The trick is get in a line at the entry gates and wait for an opening , green light, then press button to get ticket. You pay on way out next day at the machine which takes tap before you get into your car, then you insert the ticket at the gate when you leave.

Hotel was in a great area. Friendly staff. Our room was on the bottom floor and was very musty smelling. We didn’t ask to change rooms because we were just exhausted and assumed maybe they were all the same.

We loved our corner room and the patio overlooking the medieval village and Tuscan countryside, a million dollar view! The breakfast was nice, however, getting our car up to the hotel was challenging. Also, there was unpleasant smell coming from toliet, we notified staff, but it continued through our stay. Overall, we would stay there again!

You couldn’t find a more beautiful location! Only downside is when taking luggage it’s a long haul of up and down hills with great inclines. The elevator from the parking lot was out of service……climbing over 40 stairs straight up carrying luggage was quite the job. Then another 10 minute walk up hill to the hotel. Once there it was well worth it! Views stunning choices of restaurants and stores were amazing and the views unreal

This hotel is a fabulous place to stay right in San Gimignano. The room had a spectacular view out over the Tuscan countryside. As it was right inside the walls everything was right there and it was particularly nice early in the morning and in the evening when the crowds have thinned.

Great location. Comfortable and clean.

A comfortable, clean room in a great location. The shower was the only thing not so comfortable. Very small and a rain shower straight down or a powerful wand shower which was difficult to manoeuvre in the small space. But, lots of hot water was good.
