This was a beautiful little b&b but without the breakfast. Everything was perfect. Checking in was a little difficult, but worth the effort. The room was a dream and the location fabulous. Next to wine tasting and very close to the awesome town of San Gimignano. Stay here!
The hotel is 10 min drive from San Giminiano . It is a good choice of you are driving a car. It is a beautiful old and rĂșstic construction with great views of Tuscany. Comfortable room for our family of 5. We asked for breakfast but the lady said it was too late , so we ate next door in a beautiful place fur just 7euros Per adult. We recomend This place .
The hotel is situated in an unspoiled 'borgo' or hamlet about three miles out of San Gimignano on the Volterra road. Stone buildings situated against a backdrop of rolling vineyards, woods and fields. Across the road, a church, and next door a farm house where the farm's Chianti can be tasted - also some fine whites. I bought a bottle of the Riserva which was full and round, well structured and lacked the back-of-the-pallet acidity associated with lesser wines from the region.
The hotel itself was beautiful inside and out - stone walls, comfortable traditional furniture and a large fireplace in the kitchen-dining area which in the winter would make the place very cosy indeed. My bedroom boasted a copy of Botticelli's Venus painted onto the wall above the bedstead. I slept well; no traffic top disturb me, and the bed was comfortable.
The young woman who looks after the hotel did a remarkable job, and was friendly and polite. She also produced a magnificent breakfast. Understandably, it is best to arrive after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, as she spends all her time between the end of breakfast and 3 pm cleaning the whole building to a very high standard.
First of all the hotel IS NOT in San Gimiganao as advertised it is 4 km away. The place is nice but we were greeted by one person who was only interested in taking our payment. We were not told about breakfast (where it was) or how to contact someone if there was a problem. We were then abandoned through our stay. The add also said there were kitchen facilities but large signs said if we touched anything we would be charged an extra 30 Euros. Pleasant enough surroundings but horrid service.
Nobody were in the hotel. We have to make several telephone calls, till we got instuction where to find the keys for the hotel. In the morning someone came to collect the payment. Breakfast is not served - it was not clear in the reservation terms.
