“This family-run hotel, nestled in the Tuscan hills near San Gimignano, struck me as a place where genuine hospitality meets immaculate upkeep. The location, though a short distance from town, provides striking views and a peaceful atmosphere, which I consider a real advantage. The exceptional breakfast, with its homemade gluten-free options and fresh juices, stands out-a detail that reflects a true commitment to guest satisfaction.”
