Find Family-Friendly Hotels in Val d'Elsa

"Very beautiful spot in the heart of San Gimignano. Room was clean with all comforts. Staff has been very friendly and accommodating. To get here was a challenge and a bit difficult (use Google maps - Waze wouldn’t get us here) but it’s a lovely place to stay. "

"Our suite was BEAUTIFUL! Decorated to a very high standard. We had our own terrace which was perfect. The restaurant was super accommodating as we had two fussy eaters with us (our children) they made them something that they would eat! Super grateful and the food was delish. Would recommend this beautiful hotel to everyone! Next time we stay we will make sure to try the pool! "

"Our stay at Poderi Arcangelo in the rolling hills of San Gimignano was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the views were the kind that stop you in your tracks – especially at sunset when the Tuscan hills glow gold. The food was exceptional every day, with authentic local flavours that made each meal a highlight. The staff were warm, welcoming and always tried their best to help, adding to the charm of the place. The location is perfect for exploring nearby treasures such as San Gimignano itself, Certaldo, and Volterra. One thing to note – a hire car is essential. Public transport is virtually non-existent here; we couldn’t get a bus at all and taxis, while available, were scarce and very expensive – we spent €400 on just three journeys. This isn’t the hotel’s fault, though it would have been helpful to know in advance. Also, while the property is beautiful, there’s no real indoor bar area for relaxing before or after dinner. There is an outdoor bar, but it only opens on weekends and closes at 18:00, so an early evening drink isn’t always possible. Despite this, we had seven days of bliss and would return in a heartbeat – next time with a hire car, ready to explore every corner of this stunning part of Tuscany. "

"Beautiful hidden gem in the Tuscan hills. Spectacular views, beautiful rooms. Can’t wait to be back and stay longer"

"We loved the area and everything about this hotel, food to the cleanest pool I’ve been in. All staff were so pleasant. Perhaps the bed needs updating as we had to add blankets under the mattress to stop rolling off either side🙂"

"Its really great for relaxing .."

"We loved our stay. The hotel had really nice breakfasts included and the pool was fantastic after a hot day walking around the old city. We had a standard room and we were expecting it to be small. It was very small - it was difficult to find space for our cases and the shower was so small that it was hard to use it without banging your elbows. The room did include a nice outdoor balcony which made up for the super small room. The hotel was an easy walk into the old city."

"Very nice, terrific views, a/c wasnt perfect, but they brought us a fan."

"Golden hills bathed in soft sunlight, cypress-lined avenues leading to hidden resort- A serene escape at Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany, where timeless elegance meets Tuscan charm. Service is great and truffle hunting is a definitely recommend experience！"
