We loved it! The location couldn't have been better. San Gimignano is a walled city, with parking lots outside the city. Our location was an easy walk to the lots, and a very easy stroll throughout the city. The room was comfortable and had an amazing view from the terrace in the back. The staff were so helpful to us and it was appreciated since we were on our first trip to Italy.
Amazing stay and fantastic hotel. Private balcony room was amazing. Location of the hotel was perfect. Had Italian charm but with all the modern conveniences. Staff was very helpful. One of the main highlights of our honeymoon stay! THANK YOU. We will return!
Everything was PERFECT! The whole package from breakfast, dinner, rooms, area, just like a dream. Exceptional I would say. I know I am coming back to this hotel. Thank you for the perfect stay.
Very nice hotel, clean and comfortable, the dinner we had at the hotel restaurant was delicious and the view from our balcony was amazing. I would absolutely recommend staying there.

This was the best hotel. The nicest people, great rooms with great views, and a wonderful breakfast.
Everything about this hotel was excellent. Great location, beautiful room and excellent breakfast. the view from the balcony was nothing short of breathtaking!
Hotel and room are good for one or two nice day. Balcony room had a nice view..
My only negative and caution is regarding the on-site restaurant. Although, in it by itself, it could be considered a decent restaurant, but considering all the really excellent restaurants around it’s quite subpar for this town. With a group of 11 persons that have been traveling in Italy for a week the l general consensus was that the restaurant was OK, but nothing memorable or exceptional. And that situations could be normally fine, but the problem is that eating the Cisterna restaurant results in missing out on an excellent meal at one of a dozen restaurants within five minute walk. In summary, a stay at the hotel is nice but I would avoid the restaurant unless you just need to fill your stomach quickly
Wonderful single room with balcony. Great breakfast, polite and friendly staff, and a breakfast room with the most amazing views. Would definitely stay here again.
