It is difficult to relate how charming Vecchio Asilo is. Originally we had intended to stay at a farm B&B but, as they were booked out, they recommended Vecchio Asilo nearby. Starting with the immediate help with our luggage, to the friendly assistance with connecting my laptop to the hotel's wifi, to the coziness of our room, this small wayside hotel did not cease to amaze us. The greatest surprise, however, was the breakfast they served the next day: a finely sliced carpaccio of fresh fruit, as well as a large selection of goodies were served directly to our table. We were only there for one night but I would not hesitate to return to spend more time using this excellent small, reasonably-priced hotel as a base for San Gimignano, Siena and beyond.

No need to repeat the amazing reviews that Guido has garnered - they're all true. The cakes for breakfast are exceptional (including the recipes), the fresh fruit is beautifully done and he gives fabulous restaurant recommendations. We decided to do our whole Tuscany trip on the trains, which worked fine, but Ulignano isn't on a train line; so we had to jump in a couple of taxis and also took the bus from the stop outside the hotel into San Gim one afternoon. Then the next morning the bus in the other direction didn't come and we started trying to hitch; 15 minutes later Guido's brother came out of the hotel and took us down to the train. We didn't check out the bar down the road in Ulignano. All in all No 1 spot.

My wife and I (and our two friends) stayed at this wonderful Hotel for five nights on a three week holiday in Italy. We relied on Trip Advisor for most of our accommodation and found this place to be the highlight of our trip. Our Host, Guido, was friendly and went to extreme lengths to ensure our stay in Tuscany was memorable. The reviews of this place are accurate and my wife and I intend to return some day. The location is picturesque, and ideal for day trips to the surrounding towns and cities. Highly recommended.

By far, the best little B&B we have stayed at in the San Gimignano area. Guido was a wonderful host providing us with beautifully presented and delicious breakfasts each morning. Our room was immaculate and comfortable. Guido recommended a local restaurant (Antico Desco) which we enjoyed so much that we ate there all three nights. Would definitely return.
