We stayed at the Villa Belvedere in June 2004 and returned in June 2005. The hotel has a very convenient location. It is situated just outside the walls of San Gimignano and has a car park, a swimming pool and lovely views over the Tuscan hills. During the day, we explored Siena, Florence, Pisa and other locations (by car). In the evenings, a ten-minute walk (uphill) through the streets brings you to the walls of San G. which is a lovely place to explore and has lots of good restaurants. We ended each evening with a drink in one of the cafes on the main square watching the world go by!
The hotel itself is clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly. It was very hot when we were there and we very much appreciated the air-conditioning. Breakfasts were ok. There were sufficient loungers and umbrellas around the pool and the hotel has small but attractive gardens. Overall a pleasant place to stay and good value for money.
