After a very bad “Hotel” experience in Florence, this hotel gave us such a GREAT and ROMANTIC experience. It is the typical Tuscany surrounding in what seemed to look like a typical Tuscany villa, but it was just so much more. Very modern rooms with extremely efficient staff. The restaurant provided the best food we ate in Italy and with... More

Villa San Paolo is an OK hotel with fantastic views of the Tuscan countryside and of San Gimignano. But what was disappointing is that the website implies some kind of contemporary boutique hotel based in a classic old Italian villa, when in reality most of the hotel is a modern block with basic rooms decorated almost 20 years ago. Despite... More

We stayed at this hotel. It was more "off the beaten path" than our Travel Agent had told us but it was a beautiful drive. Hotel was clean, the grounds beautiful and we would recommend. However, the restaurant staff seemed annoyed when waiting on our table...We ate there each night and it was the same experience each time. It's hard... More

I visited this hotel on my honeymoon for 4 nights and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful hotel in a romantic setting. The room was absolutley gorgeous with a balcony overlooking San Gimignano. The pool and spa were lovely too, and the breakfast delicious. My only criticism though is that on our last day we had to drive back... More

We spent four nights here in September. With recent adverse comments about this hotel, we had concerns, but they were unfounded. Our standard room was spacious, clean and light and with its own garden terrace. Staff were without exception friendly and helpful, and the breakfast choices were plenty and delicious. The one evening meal we had was OK, but we... More

We stayed at this hotel for a week in August with our family of 4 children. It is in a fantastic location about 10 minutes drive from San gimignano. We had 3 adjoining rooms on the ground floor of the new part of the hotel with small private terraces to each room. The rooms were spacious, very clean and well... More

Stayed here first week of august. Overall we were very pleased with hotel but it does lack any character. However that said the spa was excellent and was included with the citalia booking we had. The bar area in the evenings was very quiet and service was a bit hit and miss. San gimignano is definitely too far to walk... More

We arrived at the hotel at the entrance it seemed to be really a resort type level establishment. When parking the car our opinion got already a first hit, a very big parking lot with only 2 cars at 7PM in the evening. The old villa was nice, but the main facilities were in a new build building. At the... More

Set in the Tuscan hills this hotel has amazing views, great spacious rooms (we had a prestige deluxe), wonderful pool and a good spa. Breakfast was perfect. Nearby San Gimignano is truly one of the most beautifully unspoiled towns we've ever had the privilege to visit. More
