This hotel is not family or vacation friendly. This is for a local tourist that’s traveling with a backpack. There are about 80 stairs to get to your room, so take that into consideration for every time you have to go back to your room. There is also no air conditioning and the owner told us just keep your windows open. That was also not doable with the noise outside and all the birds that would fly inside bc there are no curtains or nets on windows. We went in may-June and it was cool outside but very very hot in the room so I can’t imagine staying here when hot outside. There is also parking but about a mile away and all uphill to go to this hotel. It was torture staying here with kids and when we asked to change room the person in charge was very rude.

We had a wonderful stay in San Gimignano. Our host Andrea was very helpful and offered advice and information on what to see and do in the town. The apartment was spacious and clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The view from the window was spectacular. It was a bonus to have breakfast included. The location was perfect for exploring the town. We hope to return and highly recommend the apartment to family and friends.

Truly Authentic

San Gimignano is beautiful and we are so glad we stayed here as the room is right in the historic city. We were lucky as our room was only up about 8 stairs (other rooms were another flight up). We didn’t read the check in procedures which require you to notify the owner 24 hours in advance. We just showed up and called the contact. Lucky for us he was on site to check in other guests. He was able to meet us at the public parking lot and we followed him with our car into the historic center in order to drop our bags. We then had to return the car to the parking lot and paid about 15 euros to leave our car over night. The room was authentic and beautiful but we didn’t have any glasses or a full roll of toilet paper (and ran out!). It may have been because they didn’t really expect us as we just showed up. Our host was incredibly kind.

Posizione eccezionale. La stanza nella foto dà sulla piazza principale, e sembra di stare in un castello. Quella adiacente si affaccia su una bellissima campagna. Servizi essenziali (ovviamente non è un hotel) ma grande pulizia e gentilezza.

Hospitality is the key with this property: We walked down the hillside from San Gimignano to check in at the B&B's farmhouse, a 15-minute walk down a lovely country road, providing the most amazing views of San Gimignano from outside the walls. There, we arrived just as the proprietors were bottling their vin santo -- to our luck! We enjoyed a glass (or two!) with biscotti, alongside Andrea, Francesco, Carla and another couple staying at the farm. What a welcome! We welcomed a ride to our B&B, right on the Piazza delle Cisterna. We walked up a few flights, and when our host flung open the shutters, we had the most idyllic view of the Tuscan valley. We woke each morning in that room to a beautiful sunrise, then enjoyed baked goods, fruit and cappucinos each morning in the common breakfast area (thanks, Antonella!). We loved our first day so much, we added two more nights, on our third night moving to a room that overlooked the piazza. Both rooms were spectacular, with antique furniture and furnishings that hinted at its palazzo past. Take note of the placard in the foyer - notable citizens lived in this palazzo for a century! On Mondays and Thursdays, dinner is offered at the farm, which was a lovely change from dinners we'd enjoyed within the walls. We loved feeling so welcomed by Francesco, Andrea and Carla, and recommend staying with them! We hope to return.

Pros are the location, room size, and view of valley. As for the location, there are two other hotels on the main square that both have onsite staff, I would advise to choose one of them instead of this B&B. Cons are everything else. The checkin was difficult. There is no onsite staff and the door is unmarked and hard to locate. We had to walk bags up the hill and call and wait for someone to check us in. There was no coffee pot in the room, no AC, 4 floor walk up, and the few staff we spoke with didn’t understand English very well and were hard to talk with. There is only public parking at 10-15 euros per day (no in out privileges) which is very limited from 10-6 each day.

The flat was not anything like was pictured, and though it was ok and very well located, I wouldn't have booked it at this price if I'd seen an accurate depiction. In order to park the car, it was necessary to park at their farmhouse, which is a 20 minute walk.

Hyggelig opphold i september

Vi hadde et veldig hyggelig opphold på B&B Palazzo Tortoli midt i San Gimignano. Inngangsdøren var litt vanskelig å finne, men vert Andrea fikk geleidet oss trygt inn etter at vi ringte han. Han var utrolig serviceinnstilt og kjørte oss også hjem etter middag på B&B Ponte A Nappo. Middagen der var vel verdt å få med seg selv om det også er mange restauranter innenfor murene.

Great Location, but be aware of what that brings.

The location makes this room fantastic and also led to the negatives. We had a city side room overlooking the city square. The view was amazing, people watching great, and every evening, we listened to live musicians playing in the square. As with many of these old buildings, there is no air conditioning, so sleeping with the windows open is a must in the summer. Just be aware that the street sweeping truck comes through at 7 AM. On Thursday morning at 5 or 6 AM, a group of about 12 trailers come in and set up a market in the square which is VERY noisy. In the spring and fall, these would not be an issue. Overall, we would stay here again due to the location and beauty of the building.
