The Leon Bianco is truly at the heart of San Gimignano, occupying an ancient palazzo in the buzzing Piazza Cisterna and surrounded by the town's famous mediaeval towers. The hotel itself is plain on the outside, like many of Tuscany's mediaeval buildings, but the inside is light and attractive with some nice architectural features. Our top floor room was spacious...

Stayed here for 2 nights and had a lovely room on the 3rd floor with a view of the main square as well as the beautiful countryside. The room was large and comfortable. There was a good choice for breakfast on the lovely terrace. The location of the hotel is perfect and it was wonderful to spend the evenings in... More

Loved the location of this hotel on the square where there are plenty of places to watch the world go by ensconced in the beauty of San G. We had an inward facing room which was lovely and quiet. Having seen the views from those rooms which face out onto the stunning tuscan scenery we would request one of these... More

My husband and I stayed at this lovely hotel in April 2012. We had a great time, the hotel has the best location right in the middle of town. We had an amazing view over the beautiful Tuscany hills filled with vineyards!! Wish the staff were are little more helpful with other local sightseeing places/ activities.

We stayed in this lovely hotel in June, 2011, and were extremely satisfied. The location, besides being in the center of town, was also beautiful. Try to get a front room overlooking the Piazza della Cisterna. The room was large and comfortable, and the proprietors were very friendly and helpful. We had difficulty finding the place in our car, so... More

Well located overlooking the main square of San Gimignano. Decent hotel and decent breakfast. To enjoy a fantastic view of Tuscany beauty, look out for panaroma viewing platform very near to the square. Best equip with a glass of Tuscany wine and cookies. Also, from the front door of the hotel, look to the right and find the best gelato... More

What a fab hotel. The rooms are nice, so are the staff. We were recommended the Leon Bianco by a freinds, and have recommended to others since. Great value for money. We sat in the window over looking the piazza before wondering the streets. A clean, simple hotel with character.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, elevator if you're disable, and in the center of everything in San Gimignano. The room was great, had a vaulted ceiling and made us feel like we were in a castle. Located at the main piazza, it was easy to stroll around town at any given time. Don't forget to get your gellatto early in the... More

The hotel is on the main square. Said that, no better place to stay. Comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast and the best gelatto in the world just a few meters away. Best choice in the village.
