The views from the property were beautiful. There is a restaurant on site but we only had breakfast there and ate out the other evenings. We were there for 3 nights. It is about a 8 minute walk to the town center. The wifi was steong.

Great view and nice breakfast

Just a one night couple stay on a road trip round Italy. Firstly what a view from the balcony! Room and bathroom small but adequate as I was expecting. But the balcony made the room twice as big, if only the weather was better. Breakfast was very good lots of variety on the day there. One slight negative, we were happy to pay the parking to have the car close by but I don’t think having paid however much for a room the parking should be 15 euro but like I said we were happy to pay just to have the car closeby.

VERY nice and helpful staff! They consistently went out of their way to be helpful. My girlfriend wasn't feeling well, and they let us check in early so she could lay down....the room service lady who brought her some food went out of her way to be sympathetic and kind... The people who work there are top notch! The room and the facility are very nice and clean as well. The only reason I withheld that 5th star is that the hotel isn't inside the old castle walls of San Gimignano. It's down the hill a bit. The walk up the hill isn't bad at all, but there is that walk up the hill (which isn't clear in the listing). But that's a small ding for an otherwise wonderful hotel!

Front desk not very friendly We had a car to park instead of offering to us to park and pay They send us out of the property to park , when we realized that the signs at the parking spots said for guess only we wonder what do they call us , so I ask and she said our car was too big and it will take 2 spaces so we said ok we will like to park and pay for parking so she told us that she had to make a call to see if she could do it and she could tell is in 5 minutes, Then when we came back another person was there we asked again this time she said yes for 13e we can park and of course we said yes we had 3 rooms in that hotel Last names Martinez Acosta And Perez At the end our car fit perfectly in the spa that she told us we could not park there bc of the size Overall not a very friendly place to stay quite disappointed in this place we have been traveling since sept 15 all over Italy I think you can check our reservations and see what I mean This was the only disappointment so far all the other places have been GREAT Thank you

The room for two people is very small and you need to be strategic on how to walk around the room while also accessing two middle size pieces of luggage because there is not room to keep the luggage on the floor without tripping. The shower is very small too especially for large people. The bed is comfortable, the breakfast is good, the convenience of being located within a short walking distance of the restaurants and shops is a positive, plus they have parking which we appreciated.
