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.

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.

We have had a really lovely stay at Il Borghetto. The contact with the owners was good also before our stay. They were quick in responding mails and questions. So nice people, who gave us a warm and happy welcoming. Our appartment was amasing !!! The view also The dinnernights at Il Bourghetto was a nice experience we will never forget. The food was so nice. All our 3 children loved it as well. The pool was very nice too. I haven't anything bad to say about the place at all.

Great Place where to live the experience of a holiday in a real farmholidays in Tuscany San Gimignano Poderi Arcangelo is an authentic farmhouse in Tuscany located in top of a hill in the countryside of Chianti, halfway between Florence and Siena and strategically placed to visit theTuscan cities: Certaldo, Volterra, Monteriggioni, Pisa, Lucca, Arezzo, Pienza and Montalcino.
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 :-)

She even prepared breakfast and fruit for our 1 year old daughter. Great breakfast with a beautifull view at San Giminano.

Locanda dei Logi is a wine relais located in the antique village of San Donato, few kilometres away from the San Gimignano centre and it’s a relaxing corner place in the middle of vineyards and woods. Locanda has been built in the Romanesque San Donato parish’s vicarage. Thanks to the back hug of Riserva di Castelvecchio with its mediterranean scrub and oak forest it is the best place to have a relixing holiday in the middle of the countryside Our agriturismo has 6 rooms, a living room, a bar area, a wine tasting room and a private outdoor terrace with an amazing view over the all Tuscan countryside. During the riforbishment, it has been used cotto tile, wood and stone that speak to our guests about the past and the history of our place. Warm meditteranean color, the marble used in the bathrooms and the brass details are well harmonized with the surrounding contryside. The owner family is wine maker in San Gimignano; that’s why a Locanda is the best place also the have a wanderful wine tasting and tour experience.
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.

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!!!

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.

Agriturismo da Antonella is an authentic Tuscan farmhouse situated in the surroundings of San Gimignano. Here you can get in touch with the lush nature and the animals of the farm, in the relaxing setting of the rolling hills of the Chianti region. Experience the peaceful and suggestive views, along with the delicious specialties of the traditional Tuscan cuisine.
We really enjoyed our stay at this place. We got the appartment so we had a lot of space and a own kitchen. Airco en wifi works good. Bed was nice. Swimming pool and garden are lovely, romantic views! Good located to visit San Gimignano, Siena, Florance, but you will really need a car!

The Agriturism Macinatico1 is on a sweet hill at 5km in the north of San Gimignano, in country all around between vineyards and olive treeswhere is possible to look at from the Chianti's hills landscape to the far Apennines mountains of Toscany.The farm consists of 6 complete and independent apartments2 apartments for 4 people (Olivo and Vite)2 apartments for 6 people (Alloro and Timo)1 apartment for 8 people (Salvia)1 apartment for 10 people (Rosmarino)Is possible to ask also for only a double room and in this case the kitchen of the apartment will be shared between the rooms of the apartment,for groups of 4, 6 or more people you can choose a complete apartment
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!
