San Gimignano Hotels

The location is central for touring Firenze, Siena, Montalcino, Pisa, etc. The central part of San Gimignano is minutes away. The view is spectacular!!! and owners Paola and Roberta are warm, friendly and offer good directions and dining advice. Breakfast selections are plentiful and offer choices typical of European breakfasts. Would definitely return and recommend this tuscan hotel.

Not one complaint.

Nice hotel with beautiful view. Great breakfast and nice staff. Free parking but have to walk to old town around 1 km.

No free wifi.

Poderi Arcangelo is an old olive farm and vineyard whose stone buildings are renovated for "agritourism." It is set in the beautiful Tuscan landscape, with a modern swimming pool overlooking the fields of grapes. The pool softens the rustic lifestyle and was so enjoyable on the hot summer days. We stayed in a former hayloft, which meant our bed was upstairs from the ground floor where our children stayed. We were travelling with another family and they had the adjacent suite.

None of the guest rooms have refrigerators, although a small one is available for shared use in a nearby building. Air conditioners are installed in the rooms but turning them on costs an additional 6 euros per day (like having a pay toilet in your room). The alternative is to sleep with windows open and be eaten by mosquitoes. The evening meals were OK in quality and variety but quite expensive and had to be ordered ahead of time. The poderi does not sell drinks during th...

Only the location is ok.

Services are very poor, in fact we had to wait even for check-out. Also breakfast couldn't be called a breakfast, tablecloth was very dirty, room very poor, definitely can't be called a four star villa.

location , restaurant , breakfast

great garden with swimming pool , good breakfast , nicely decorated

diner was average

The hotel was lovely and staff very pleasant and welcoming. Dedicated parking was available, first come first serve, near the street for free, which was great! Location was good - a little far from town, but still walking distance. Location was very quiet, tranquil country setting. Pool looked beautiful and inviting. Lovely breakfast room overlooking garden and pool.

Room was tiniest and most expensive of the 9 European hotels we stayed at. The bathroom was the most compact I have ever seen. I didn't even attempt to shower. The terrace was bigger than the room and bathroom combined, but was too windy and chilly to use it. I recommend this hotel because it was the easiest way to access the town and avoid the parking issues. Also, the hotel was very nice and the room was fine - just small.

The view from the bedroom window was spectacular. The location near town was most ideal.

Everything was great

the reception staff were very helpfull, our room was lovely and the view amazing

I was dissapointed that towels were not provided at the pool. The lighting in the restaurant was too harsh in the evening and the atmosphere was spoilt by this. i also found one of the waiters quite bolshy and not a credit to the rest of your staff

We liked the location with splendid views of the surrounding countryside.The garden area and pool side area were pleasant for relaxing and the pool side lunches were very good

We were disappointed by the lack of staff to attend to us as guests . No porter to take our bags to our room . Not accompanied to the room to show us where it was or show the facilities . No staff except a receptionist to get us drinks in the evening . Untrained staff in the restaurant . Delay in service in the restaurant in the evening .

fabulous room,fabulous staff and fantastic location

Restaurant a bit sterile-to be fair staff very good but it was a bit quiet

Facilities at the hotel were good.

The hotel was deserted and as a result the atmosphere was very poor.

The location was the best possible place to be in S.G. Every part of the stay was wonderful, even considering that much of the town was closed for low season.

The location is good, in a central square.But S Gimignano is so small that is not important.

It´s a expensive hotel for what offers. Bad value for money.Noisy rooms and poor breakfast.

very very beautiful place to stay; nice rooms; nice people; breakfast included; tasty wine

we did not know that we could have nice dinner (but it is problem of informations from booking.com?) and we had eat before come - that is little bit pitty

Fabulous localisation and views.

More like a hostel than agritourism accommodation. Beware of dinners - based on our experience it's much better to add another 10 EUR and dine in San Gimignano than take a canteen-like offer in Fattoria Voltrona.

The setting couldn't be any more beautiful. If you're looking for a vacation in Tuscany, you won't be disappointed. The property is very old but beautifully maintained.

Disappointed we couldn't stay another night!

Alessandro the manager was very pleasant and the room was beautiful and very clean.

It is superbly located but you will need a car to get into San Gimignano.

Visit date- Apr 28-30,2012. temp cool. Charming, old-world culture.Location was perfect for leisurely strolls through the town. The attached restaurant offered a beautiful vista over the surrounding countryside. Lots of ambience for evening dining. Very substantial breakfasts were served here as well. staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were small but adequate. We found the shops in San Gimignano offered the best variety of leather goods and prices were more reasonable than anywhere else as we travelled throughout Tuscany to Rome. We regretted not purchasing our handbags, belts and leather jackets there. All our accommodations were booked through booking.com. Every location met our expectations, and all reservations were as described on booking.com website.

Know where you are going! Be sure you are at the right gate for entrance to the city.The streets are narrow and you really do not want to take a car into the city even to drop off luggage. ...

It is in the best area of Toscany, San Gimingano - great food, great location, great small family business...

size of the room, but it is good for several days

Surroundings and the village, friendly staff, reasonable dinner:good in comparison with restaurants in the village.

The best view over the valley. A true Tuscan scene. Good swimming pool,breakfast was ok. Very quite location a few klm out of town San Giminano which has a castle theme. Great to explore and shop and eat.

Room was small for a triple

Good pool and stunning views of San Gimignano. Rooms comfortable and very clean.

The views from the roof terrace and their fabulous, inexpensive restaurant (in town)

Staff weren't always there, otherwise, nothing.

charming rooms, nice decor, nice location

there is no one available at the front desk- after you check in; they give you a key for the front door, and disappear. we only saw the guy at breakfast time which, by the way, is only an hour ( 8:30- 9:30am). there is no wake up call service. there is not an alarm clock in the room, no electric kettle or safe either.

Very clean and comfortable. Close to San Gimanginao and easy day trip to Florence.

location, room size, front desk staff was so courrteousc countryside was beautiful

The Fattoria San Donato was right in the heart of Tuscany. It was a good feel of how a winery works and the beauty of Tuscany could be seen from this location.

No

The environment and the apartman was amazing. the whole fattoria was build in Toscan style.

howeverthe apartman was very nice, it was alittle bit cold and wet.

We found your place to be a peaceful relief coming from the hustle of Rome . The views were breathtaking and everything good about Tuscany. The food was wonderful .

The coffee. Please get rid of that machine and make proper coffee

Excellent location, stunning view from Swimming Pool of San Gimignano and yes shuttle service is operating!

Cannot get anything to eat (not even a snack by the pool) once the kitchen is closed which is inconvenient given that the hotel is 1.5km from town. Small shower even for a small person.

During my 15 days trips around Tuscany, this was the best accomodation I've stayed! The house is amazing, very rustic, cosy. The rooms are big and very comfortable.

Becouse it was autumn, I think the quantity of guest is less, so there was no breakfast available. I saw there was estrutucture for breakfast (kitchen, table, space), but it was not working. It was a little bad for us, cause the hotel was 10 km from San Gimignano, and we had to go there to have breakfast. It was not a real problem, but we felt sorry for not using the kind breafast room and the marvellous garden. But, ok.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They catered to our every whim at breakfast and even drew maps for us to get around Tuscany. The location was perfect as well.

Nice hotel in lovely area within easy driving distance of several lovely tourist towns. Very good cooking in the evening. On site parking and nice grounds / pool area.

Not brilliant value for money. Breakfast not up to the gourmet standard of the evening meals. Dining room closed for evening meals on one of our two days (Tuesdays - we did know this in advance). Charge for internet access.

Excellent location in a beautiful part of Tuscany. Restaurant is first class with home cooked Tuscan food using local, top quality ingredients. Staff very friendly giving the hotel it's family run appeal.

Really only thing I would improve upon is having fresh fruit juice at breakfast and fresh coffee - both were from a machine. Not sure why.

We had a wonderful view from our room out over the valley in two directions. The room was fairly large with a nice bathroom. The restaurant/breakfast room was pleasant, with good food.

Although we were able to unload our luggage in the piazza by the hotel, parking overnight was some distance away.

Location is perfect in centre of town and the view (if you get a superior room) is super.

Hotel is a bit shabby and needs a facelift badly and a good deep clean but our room itself was clean and grand for the price.We had a countryside view. San Gim is very touristy and expensive to eat compared to other Tuscan towns.

We were very pleased with the Casanova di Pescille. The location was perfect for us - close to San Gimingnano but far enough away to enjoy the picturesque beauty of the countryside and the solitude.

Very clean, great setting and quaint. We would stay there again.

The room was small and very poorly lit. Internet speed was very very slow. The car park was 300 mtrs. from the hotel and you had to drag your bags through pebbles. Breakfast had a very very limited choice.

The views of Tuscany were breathtaking! On top of a huge hill overlooking the vinyards and olive trees. The "farmhouse" was rustic with beautiful furnishings and updated bathrooms. The pool and gardens were lovingly tended.

The road leading to the farmhouse was steep and unpaved.

The apartment is very clean and well laid out, the grounds are immaculate, and although it was too cold to go swimming, the pool looked fantastic. The food in the restaurant was wonderful. The views across Tuscany were faultless, and it is well placed for visiting lots of towns, the nearest being Certaldo (alto), San Gimignano and Volterra.

The kitchen could have done with more storage space for food items as this is a self catering apartment, and perhaps a supply of the basics (eg salt, sugar, coffee, olive oil) would really have helped, especially if only staying for a few days. The final mile or so of road is what is known as a 'white road', a loose association of potholes which have to be negotiated carefully - but this adds to the charm and secluded feel of the place...the one thing to note is that the restaurant (only open on certain days out of season) is about half a kilometer away from the apartments, along an unlit 'white road'. (So take a t...

We had a lovely, comfortable, well proportioned rustic room with a wonderful view. Excellent (home made) continental breakfast, with evening meals in San Gimigniano; good recommendations were provided. A perfect quiet location for exploring the region.

Not the easiest place to find .. but as it is away from the main road - that is an advantage as it is quiet and relaxing!!

I liked friendly staff, nice and comfortable rooms, food and countryside.

Great atmosphere, authentic design

San Gimignano is only accessible by car

Charming building and room.

There was an odor from the bathroom. There was no staff on location. If you do not travel with a cell or call in advance, there is no way to reach them without going to the neighboring business -- who do not appreciate you asking to use the phone (and I don't blame them for that, they must get tired of this). Also there is not a view from the building nor the village (ie just a cluster of a few buildings) of San Gimiangno....

The food was exceptyionallhygood and was good value.

That there was no internet connectio0n s from the hotel.

pretty.excellent pool.good food.

Great breakfast, clean rooms and great location to visit San Gimignano. Pool would have been a nice and relaxing place in summer.

Room was very nice, well decorated and owner was very friendly. Location great -- you feel like you're in the countryside, but the town is only a 5 min. drive away.

Room was a bit cold and couldn't turn up the heat.
