Authentic 13th century building with so much character and charm. The room was very unique and opened to a lovely courtyard. The location was great, and very close to the gate. A full Italian breakfast buffet was offered at a reasonable cost. Laundry service was also available. And the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Our room was just wonderful. Very nicely situated within a courtyard, a quiet respite from the hordes of shoppers outside. The bathroom was a bit dangerous. For one the door is very short and the shower is not safe nor practical. The concierge and staff are exceptional and the breakfast was great. Parking was a challenge as we explore a lot and come back to find it difficult to find a space. The restaurants are wonderful and exploring outside of the shopping area is very nice. We loved going up to the top of the tower to see the view.

Thank you for sharing your detailed review. We are delighted to hear that your apartment felt simply wonderful and that its location inside our peaceful courtyard offered a quiet retreat from the lively surroundings.
We are also very pleased that you found our concierge and staff exceptional and that you enjoyed our excellent breakfast.
We’re happy made your stay memorable.
We inform the readers that we have one living room just for the buffet breakfast international, with eggs, mixed cold cuts, brushette, Fresh fruit salad and much more, this is on request extra service.
Regarding the bathroom, we are sorry maybe we not give you all informations, the shower is in the floor, but is big and safe. Daily cleaning service is included, much appreciated by our guests who, when they return from tours, find the apartment tidied and clean.
We understand that parking in San Gimignano can sometimes be challenging, especially after a full day of exploring, when you come back tired. Our team is always happy to provide guidance on the closest available options, they are a lot of free area parking near 5/10 minuts.
It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the excellent restaurants nearby and the pleasure of visiting the surrounding shopping area. San Gimignano is really famous also for the beautiful shops, and for the artisan shop, all is very close our Historical Palace.
Thank you again for choosing us.
Warm regards,

Unique accommodations with great hosts.
Charming apartment in a walled fortress city. After a bit of searching for parking we really enjoyed our stay. Luigi and Marzia are great hosts. The property has been in the family for generations. It was nice to hear the history of the estate and explore this charming city. Clean well kept with free wifi. So many good restaurants within a short walk and a bakery nearby. Wish we had more time to spend there.

Thank you so much Logan for the 5 star review! We are pleased to know you enjoyed your stay and that you liked your accommodation. As stated in our services, we don't provide AC, but each room has a fan inside during summer. The walls of the building are thick and prevent the heat from entering. We're glad our advice was appreciated and that it helped you have a wonderful stay in San Gimignano. Parking is located at only 5/10 minutes away on foot.
We would be glad to host you again, it was a pleasure to meet you. Best regards, Marzia
I didn’t expect to be needy, but I got rather sick while I was there. As I was traveling solo, so it was comforting to know I was cared for. Marzia, her husband, Bianca, and their sweet maid really did watch out for me. Thank you so much!!The accommodation was exactly as they listed it and I adore staying at historical properties like this one. And…it’s in the historic ZTL zone. So the parking was about 5-10 minutes away but dropping off/picking up your luggage is only a 2-minute walk (you get 15 minutes, then have to move your car)). I highly recommend this place. They are marvelous people!

This property was everything we were looking for and more! From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. Marisa and Bianca were more than helpful and never made us feel like we were a bother and believe me we had many questions. They went out of there way to help us and arranged transportation for us and also to a wine tasting. They even offered to make dinner reservations for us. They are truly the best!
