It was an absolute delight. Blanca, was particularity helpful and accommodating. This is the best place to stay"

"Martina was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel facilities and breakfast were amazing. The property is located just a few minutes from the town of San Gimignano, making it a perfect base for exploring the area."

We loved the feel of the place...light and contemporary decor. Stunning views and lovely pool to lounge by.
Fantastic location and we visited Vinci and San Miniato (lovely restaurants) really close by. Of course went to San Gimignano and visited Lucca which we loved!
Hotel highlights...breakfast and pool. The dining room is beautiful and I would have quite liked to have part of it as a lounge to grab an evening drink and relax whilst enjoying to view.
Light lunches available in the daytime...

Amazing place to stay. Simple and unpretentious. Clean, comfortable and modern. Great views (room and bar terrace) and nice staff.
Glamping pods are separate from the main house and feel very private and secluded. Beautiful setting overlooking the hills and vineyards.
Room (Olive suite) had a coffee machine and mini fridge with complimentary drinks/snacks. Large outdoor wrap-around terrace which got sun all day and late into the evening. Views overlooking the vineyards and rolling hills....

The whole family loved our spacious and well equipped apartment in a beautiful setting with far reaching views. The generous welcome box of essentials was a lovely surprise, as was the delicious bottle of wine. Enjoyed al fresco dining in our own garden area and the kiddies play equipment was much appreciated - as was the fabulous swimming pool. Drive into San Gimignano took just 8 minutes along delightful country road.

After the drive from Pisa airport, the drive up the 4km track led to a most stunning property. We were immediately welcomed by Stefano (and two cold beers!) and the hospitality continued throughout our stay. The five course Tuscan dinner every evening was worth every cent and how amazing were the team in making sure everything was perfect?! The pool was beautiful with stunning views. Truly an incredible location, breakfast, hosts, staff and home-grown, home-made food and drink. Thank you for...

Staying at Hotel Il Castello was a step back into history - a beautiful appointed historic building that had been sympathetically made over into a hotel/bar/restaurant, with panoramic views over Lower Certaldo. The bedrooms very clean, with rustic charm and furnishings. Modern functioning shower, TV, and AIRCON unit which was very welcome in the intensive 30+ degree heat of the day and night. The background music in the restaurant/bar always playing Jazz music - which, whilst not my favourite...

Such a wonderful long weekend at the belvedere. The property is absolutely beautiful, the location, grounds and view are something to be seen, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. We had not rented a car, and they went above and beyond to assist us with getting around and enjoying events planned on site. Everything felt luxurious, and my partner and I felt more relaxed than we have on any other holiday this year! Recommend to any couple looking for a quiet, romantic trip!

This was a fantastic find. Our hosts Allessandro and Anna made us so welcome and provided the best breakfast we have ever had, ( along with Anna’s freshly baked cake) that along with the beautiful views and closeness to the centre made it just perfect.

This is a lovely horel in a quiet area of the old historic area. This staff were very welcoming and gave us a map and gave us advice on restaurants and attractions. A very comfortable bed with lovely linen and fluffy towels. Grat breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel and stay again.
