The hosts (cats and human) have just been wonderful. The owner is very kind, knows a lot about the region, can give you many recommendations, and makes an excellence cappuccino. The view to the countryside side is exceptional and you can enjoy it every day while having a great balanced (continental) breakfast. It is a quiet little paradise not only for the cats living there but also for its human guests :) We enjoyed our stay very much! Thank you for an amazing time Manfredi, Macchia and Ginger :)

We are both tall people, so the bed was a bit short for us. But other than that still very comfortable :)

Manfredi was a very kind, polite and helpful host. He was also kind enough to give us recommendations on the area. The location is great, very close to San Gimignano, quiet and the view just incredible. The building is very beautiful and charming from looking at it from the outside. The room was clean and we were offered a daily cleaning. Very relaxing to sit outside and enjoy your coffee while looking at the nature. The WiFi was working sufficiently.

Some suggestions from our side would be a mosquito net (at least at the window) so that you can let the fresh air come in. Otherwise flies and insects come inside the room. A trash can in the room, apart from the bathroom, would be also handy. A nice to have option for some guests would be a small TV. A second towel hanger in the bathroom would be much appreciated, as there was not enough space to hang a second one. Hand soap and shampoo were provided but unfortunately no shower gel. Lastly, an extra pair of pillows with pillowcases would make our sleep even better

It was situated beautifully in the hills just outside of San Gimignano with lush olive and grape trees surrounding it. The terrace outside offered a stunning view of the Tuscan countryside. We loved the fact that the estate carried so much history, dating back some 250 years, while belonging to the same family all these years. It is clear that they treat this place with love, since it’s oozing of it.

That we didn’t stay longer!

Very nice and helpful host. He gave us a lot of advises about destinations where to go. Very nice breakfast - by nice weather you can eat outside with a beautiful view. We liked our stay Very much. The hotel has a good location to make different trip around Chianti area.

In the room there was too high bed. It was difficult - the high of matraze was about 1 meter what is not so convinient.

Manfredi was an exceptionally welcoming host - professionally attentive and balanced with warmth and enthusiasm. Stunning views - true 360-degree Tuscany - high up on the hill and but 5 minutes drive from San Gimignano. Well kept grounds - olive trees abounding and wild board snuffling around at night in the groves. Ably supported by the brother and sister pairing of cats - as they say dogs have owners but cats have staff and we all became their staff during the stay.

We found this place last minute before visiting San Gimignano itself and absolutely love it. It has a great Tuscany feeling, the rooms are spacious, clean, luxurious... and the host is very welcoming and professional. Don't forget to buy their home made olive oil as a souvenir. The views around the rooms into the Tuscany hills are breathtaking. We stayed for one night but we would have stayed longer if we had the time, we'll book here again in the future for sure.

Nothing to report, it was all superb.

Beautiful place nestled in a quiet and breathtaking setting, close to our favorite San Gimignano, making it a perfect base for exploring Tuscany. The area is peaceful, but still right in the heart of everything worth seeing. The host was incredibly helpful, offering excellent recommendations for local spots and restaurants.

Everything perfect

First of all I have to say that when we arrived the owner offered us a superior room at no additional cost, really nice! The hotel is perfectly located in the outskirts of San Gimignano (you need to drive, but its only 2-3km away). The rooms are big, clean and comfortable and the breakfast is fantastic, it's not a buffet but the quality of the food is so much better and the quantity and variety is no problem at all (that day I did not have lunch).

Nothing important, if I have to make constructive critic I would say the bathrooms are a bit dated, but they are really, really clean and work as expected (for example the shower has really hot water and enough water pressure), so nothing to complain.

Manfredi was an exceptional host going way beyond what I would expect to make our stay enjoyable. The room was perfect, he gave us a choice of two rooms, and we took a very comfortable private room away from other guests. Would highly recommend this stay to any body wanting to stay in Sam Gimignano.

The house and the scenery are absolutely spectacular. To wake up in this house and have breakfast overlooking the Tuscan countryside, among vineyards and olive trees is truly a dream. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The parking is free and ample. It is a 7 minute drive from San Gimignano. It was my favorite place in Tuscany. I will definitely come back.

We mistakenly entered the hotel in the car at the wrong entrance and the host was a bit rude. However, the next day he was very nice showing us around the property and helping us with anything we needed. I think he was just having a bad day.
