“A Great Place to Stay in Tuscany”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We chose this hotel based on a recommendation from a friend, which I owe a big thank you for it. The hotel is located on a hill near the main road from Colle Val D'Elsa to Volterra, about 15 minutes drive from each. It’s about 30 minutes drive to Siena and 10 minutes to San Gimignano. The room was specious and had air condition which we didn’t use because there was a nice cool breeze blowing. The hotel has a decent size pool and provides free Wi-Fi. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast. Big variety of tasty item prepare mostly by the family that own the place. We enjoyed our stay and we wish we had time to stay more days there.

“Great place to stay in Tuscany”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011

We stayed at this hotel for 4 days in July with my parents and 2 young kids. The hotel is located right between San Gimignano and Volterra - about 15 km from either place, and about half an hour from Colle Val D'Elsa. The hotel is right next to a winery in the quaint town of San Gimignano; the rooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean - the breakfast is delicious as others have noted. The pool is beautifully maintained and the hosts Luca and Anna went out of their way to make it comfortable for us; there is a gym next to the pool. Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone travelling in Tuscany.

The hotel doesn't have an attached restaurant outside of the breakfast buffet but there are a couple of nice restaurants nearby - Tre Archi the only one within walking distance.

The hotel has a beautiful website and would recommend booking directly with them - we used hotels.com and they charged us almost an extra $500 in service charges for the booking (2 rooms for 4 days)

“Wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2011

My husband and I were celebrating both our 60th birthdays and 30yrs together and, after advising the hotel, they kindly upgraded us and surprised us with champagne and strawberries awaiting in our room. The location was perfect for us and wished we had stayed longer. The breakfast was the best we had in our month long travel throughout Italy. We definitely would recommend this hotel for anyone travelling in Tuscany.

“beware of the beds”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

a nice hotel in rural Tucany, within esy travelling distance of St Gimignano

but why metal grills over all windows and doors and panic alarms in the bedrooms which made us feel quite wary.

We booked a large room which was near the pool , the bed was very hard and uncomfy.

The hotel served great breakfasts and large cups of coffee in the evening, but one evening meal was disappointing.
