If you are going to stay in the Tuscan countryside for several days and tour the hills and valleys, San Gimignano should be your base. If you stay in San Gimignano, the Relais Santa Chiara is an excellent choice - in a great location with wonderful views. While the hotel does not have some of the amenities of a 5-Star... More

The hotel was nice enough, but the clear highlight of our stay was the view of the Tuscan hillside from our room. Watching the sunrise over Tuscany was one of the most memorable things of our very memorable trip to Italy. The walk to San Gimignano was easy, and we enjoyed exploring that wonderful walled medieval city of towers. There... More

We were pleasantly surprised by the Relais Santa Chiara Hotel in San Gimignano. It was physically a lovely hotel with great views and a great pool. The breakfast was very nice with many selections. And to top this all the staff were all helpful and friendly. We have been to Italy many times but have never stayed in San Gimignano... More

This is a beautiful property with outstanding views over the Tuscan countryside. It should be a great hotel but it isn't. The greeting at reception was cold, verging on rude and the general service was indifferent. The rooms are of a good size but badly designed. It was impossible to see the TV from the sofa. They skimp on toiletries... More

We had an amazing view of the rolling Tuscan hills and sat out on our balcony every night with wine and cheese. It is a perfect... More

The hotel was an easy walk to historic San Gimignano and was easy to find. It was very clean and quiet with beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. I hope to be able to stay again on another trip.

We stayed here for 1 night. The hotel was beautiful, great views of the rolling hills and pool, very clean, good breakfast, and everyone we interacted with was friendly. The small double room was nice, but tiny, and we didn't sleep well cause of the size of the bed, so unless you're both small or don't need a lot of... More

We arrived at the easy to find hotel by rental car where parking was also easy and very ample. We had booked our room on line and Monica suggested we up grade to the view suite and boy was she right the room had a spectacular view of the country side just could not been better with a large patio...

We spent two nights in October and thoroughly enjoyed it. Rooms were very nice and location was excellent to walk to the walled city of San Gimignano. Wish we could have spent more time there! I left some items in my room safe and was in another city checking into another hotel when I realized it. We called and talked... More
