10 Top-Rated Farmhouses in San Gimignano, Tuscany

April 27, 2023 Marlin Saiz

San Gimignano, known as the "city of beautiful towers," had 72 towers in its heyday. Now 14 remain, and, rising above Tuscany's Elsa Valley, they make the town look like a medieval dreamscape. Take in the fresco-covered Collegiate Church, the Civic Museum and the views from atop 177-foot Torre Grossa. Daytrippers from Florence tend to fill up the streets during the day, so for a more up-close-and-personal look at the town, spend the night.

Agriturismo Il Casolare di Bucciano

Great views, clean and simple

Reviewed By Velvetgemini

This is a small and simple Agritourism located a short drive from the main town. The rooms are rustic and not fussy but clean. The views are really excellent, making it very suitable for a warm weather stay when you can sit inside outside. It’s surrounded by vineyards and olive Groves. They were unfortunately not serving dinner when I stayed there because they said that there were not enough guests at the time to justify running the kitchen — which was a disappointment. Nonetheless, we went to the agriturismo down the street and ended up having a nice meal there, so that turned out fine. Breakfast was decent, with some homemade cakes, etc. Good place to go if you’re looking for a simple place with no frills away from the tourist crowds.

Beautiful

Reviewed By 247katarinah

Beautiful...people, country. Breathtaking views. Very good accesibility to all "must see" places. Rent a small car, streets are narrow :-) Book tickets online. Prepare yourself for many stairs...especially spiral stairs :-) There are so many towers (not only in Pisa), you will want to climb. Enjoy Dondoli icecream, it' s the best :-)

Amazing hotel located in beautiful vineyard surroundings

Reviewed By katebM8661LH

Highlight of our trip. The service was impeccable; the staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean, and the views from the terraces are just breathtaking. Wine + food were amazing ( we really appreciated the hotel being flexible for vegetarians at dinner). The staff were also very helpful when we asked to ship back a few bottles to the UK. Great location as well - lots of hikes straight from the hotel and very close to San Gimgnano. Can't wait to come back.

Heaven in earth

Reviewed By josequiroscr

This place is a piece of heaven in the earth. Besides the place is exactly as the pictures, the reality is way much better. The place is surrounded by trees and pines, with n amazing view of San Gimignano. However thats just physical enhancements to the experience. Carmela, the owner made me feel at home. I told to her I was learning and practicing Italian so she did speak just italian to me, show me and corrected me. (Very appreciate). She did recommendations, made phone calls. She was always looking forward on my itinerary to give inputs and suggestions. Besides the great person she is, she produce Olive oil and cook “home made” everything, even the yogurt. Food is amazing!!! Local tuscany flavors! This place was just amazing. The only thing I regret was not to stay longer. 6 days at Toscana is not good enough! Ohh I almost forgot, the breakfast are just amazing. Besides eggs, jams, salamis, cheeses, fruits, tea, coffee, granola, cereal and all that usually you find in breakfast, she did every single day, a different cake. Always so fresh and warm.. mmm, I’m going to miss it. Carmela, thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. I love to met people as you and hopefully we will see you again!!!

Agriturismo Casa alle Vacche

Immerse yourself in real Tuscany

Reviewed By MABris

No better way to experience the region than staying at a family run Winery. Comfortable clean spacious accommodation. Relaxing in the grounds over looking the vineyards to the sights of San Gimignano and Certaldo in the surrounding hills says Tuscany! The background sounds of this working winery never disturb you - only add to the experience. The on-site restaurant is open on selected days and the amazing local food is not to be missed . Based here most of Tuscany is well within 1 - 1/2 hours drive. Ohh and it's a winery! Valentina's personal winery tour gives you a real insight and the a great selection of wines to tempt you - with a most surprising Sangiovese Bianco. Thanks for an amazing experience.

Reviewed By sushdog

We had such a wonderful stay at Agriturismo Macinatico in June this year! The house was lovely, the airconditioning in the rooms was very much needed in the Italian Summer and the pool was sparkling clean. We had lovely dinners sitting outside on our patio, my toddler loved the kids play area and each room had its own en-suite bathroom. The host even went above and beyond to organise a doctor to come do a house-visit when my toddler got sick. Great value for money and so easy to do day trips around the Tuscany area. Highly, highly recommended!
