Our trip to San Gimingano was the perfect get away for my family because of this wonderful property. Benadetta met us on arrival and could not have been more pleasant. The property was everything advertised and more. It has the charm and comfort that really made us feel like we lived in San Gimignano.

Great Stay in San Gimignano

We just returned from a 10 day stay at this wonderful property. The apartment is located in a prime spot and close to everything in the center of town. Great views of the Tuscan hillsides from the back porch and views of the towers and main plaza from the front windows. Great internet, air conditioning and super kitchen with everything you need including fridge and washing machine. Property is just as advertised. Benedetta is an excellent host, great communicator and will go out of her way to make sure you have everything you need!

Great property next door to the Piazza del Duomo. Many, many places to eat and shop nearby. The property owner was a lifesaver when my husband developed acute bronchitis. She helped us find a doctor and even made an appointment within a short walking distance. Thanks so much Bernadetta!

San Gimignano is delightful and our VRBO couldn’t have been any better. Benedetta was so kind and helpful, the apartment was perfectly located and appointed. And she even helped us maneuver our car into town to unload and then provided a garage close by to store our rental car. We had everything we needed for a lovely stay and would highly recommend the apartment.

Benedetta was a wonderful host, from the minute we decided where we were staying in San Gimignano to the days before our arrival and throughout our stay. We had a fantastic few days in San Gimignano - the flat is centrally placed, yet is very quiet. It is beautifully furnished and with all the facilities you need for a comfortable home stay. We hope to return to San Gimignano again soon as there are so many places in Tuscany we wish to visit. This apartment is an excellent base, with easy public transport (if you don’t drive). There’s a fantastic supermarket at the bottom of the hill and an open-air market on Thursday (if you don’t want to always eat out). We visited the churches and museums around San Gimignano and thoroughly enjoyed being able to live in such an atmospheric and wonderful Tuscan town. Do visit the Casa and Torre Campatelli exhibition to get an understanding of how the medieval town of San Gimignano came about. Thanks Benedetta - ci vediamo.

A Wonderful and Memorable Stay!

The apartment was charming with original designs and furnishings and had everything we needed. Benedetta was very helpful in getting us settled in the apartment. Benedetta waited for us outside the scheduled arrival time and helped us navigate San Gimignano to the apartment. She answered every inquiry we had. The apartment was beautiful and perfectly situation in the best town in Tuscany. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A Wonderful Place

My friend and I recently spent 6 days and 5 nights at Borgo Antico and we had a terrific experience. Guiliana was the best hostess and the apartment was impeccable and as described. She was gracious and informative and made us feel welcome in San Gimignano. (And Guiliana was particularity helpful when we locked ourselves out of the apartment!) The location of the apartment could not have been better - just across from the duomo at the edge of one of the popular squares of the town. Thank you Guiliana for making our visit so enjpoyable! I highly recommend Borgo Antico to anyone!

Heart of San Gimignano

This 2-bedroom apartment is right next to the church in the center of San Gimignano. I loved walking out the door and being near the shops and restaurants. The Friday morning market set up just below our windows. We found it helpful to close the windows and shutters at night to block the early morning street noise. The king-size bed was super comfortable and the rooms had plenty of storage space. Benedetta met us at the parking lot just outside the city wall and led us to our rooms. She explained how to use everything including the washer, gas cooktop, and coffee pot. She gave us suggestions for parking in Florence and mentioned favorite wines and local restaurants. My husband and I enjoyed having extra space in both a large living room and second bedroom. The only difficult part of our stay was the narrow bathroom. It was hard for two adults to be in the small space together. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

This trip to San Gimignano was a return to the location of our first date 13 years ago. The apartment was cozy and well appointed with everything you would need. The owner is very helpful and sweet: beware there are two flights of stairs up to the apartment but we needed the exercise and it is well worth the effort. Highly recommend this rental,

Super Unterkunft, perfekte Lage, sympatische Vermieterin

Wir haben das Appartement für 3 Übernachtungen gebucht. Die Wohnung war gemütlich eingerichtet, super gelegen und bestens ausgestattet. Die Möglichkeit die Garage zu mieten können wir nur empfehlen. Preislich mit 10 Euro proTag auch vollkommen in Ordnung. Die Vermieterin Benedetta steht immer für Fragen bereit und kann einem gute Tipps für einen Restaurantbesuch etc. geben. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und waren hoffentlich nicht das letzte mal in San Gimignano.

Beautiful balcony vista apartment in the heart of town

The property was a lovely quaint old style Italian apartment with a beautiful shared balcony view to the West. The downside was the water heater/supply, and the use of converters for every European appliance. There is really only enough instant hot water for 2 very quick showers per a 2 hour time period. The location and convenience was excellent. Benedetta speaks English excellently and is a delight.
