I absolutely adored my stay at this charming hotel. The back rooms offer a breathtaking view over the countryside, complete with delightful coffee table books about Italy and Tuscany. The spacious room had a cozy bed where I could enjoy the picturesque sight of the Tuscan hills. The only downside was that the room faced a small street, but overall, it was a wonderful experience.

The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were always there when needed and very helpful. The only slight drawback was the lack of clarity on how to access the parking area, especially challenging given the hotel's central location.

The hotel's location right on a main square in the old town was both convenient and picturesque. Although not the best for views, being in the town center offered easy access to exploring San Gimignano and nearby bus stops. The staff also provided excellent assistance with luggage and recommendations for dining.

The hotel offers lovely rooms with a great view, although facing the square can be noisy in the morning with market setup. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of the vibrant medieval town. The dining experience is great with a variety of choices, and service is friendly and helpful. However, the rooms could have been quieter for a more relaxing stay.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spacious, very clean, and had a charming old-world feel that I loved. While the shower could have been better, I appreciated the fridge in the room, although it was disappointing not to have tea or coffee facilities for a cozy drink in the morning or before bed. The view from the room was simply lovely.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were surprisingly spacious, offering peace and quiet despite the busy square location. The service was outstanding, with knowledgeable and hospitable staff who even provided a delightful breakfast. The hotel's prime location right in the center of the main square couldn't be faulted, with plenty of nearby restaurants and bars. The dining experience was top-notch, among the best I've experienced in Europe, especially with the hot and cold options and delicious homemade cakes. Overall, a fantastic choice for a memorable stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with spacious, newly renovated rooms that were perfectly clean and offered a beautiful view over the countryside. The service was top-notch, with very helpful and friendly staff who were always there when needed. The location was as good as it can get for exploring San Gimingnano, and the dining experience offered a great choice of options. However, the view from my room was onto a small street, which was a bit disappointing, and the dining area didn't have hot food, which was a minor drawback.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel in the heart of the main piazza, with a stunning view of the Tuscan countryside from my spacious and clean room. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating; however, it was a bit challenging to reach them at times. The dining experience offered a good variety, but nothing really extraordinary. The location was perfect for exploring the town and beyond, but being outside the city wall had its drawbacks.
