We stayed three nights as a break between Venice and Rome. Recently renovated, but very relaxed, the most popular feature of this B&B is the open, terraced yard with a modest swimming pool overlooking the Tuscan hills. A very international crowd hangs out, breakfast, noon and night, eating, drinking, reading and chatting.
The host, Emilio, is very accommodating, and the place is spotless. Note, however, that he does not speak English, and there is no Internet access. You can order dinner as long as you request it by the morning of the same day. We did for our last night, and it was like being part of the family.

“What a pleasant surprise!”
A 16m2 squeaky-clean room in the heart of Tuscany - 5 min away from the world heritage town of San Gimignano - , the best breakfast I ever ate in a hotel (variety and quality wise), a decent pool, pleasant decoration, somewhat weird but very attentive hosting and the added bonus: a refrigerator filled with bottles of water at your disposal. At 80 eur a night, it's a treat!

“Lovely countryside retreat”
2
people found this review helpful
We found this B&B just outside San Gimignano and really enjoyed our 2 night stay there. It's a recently renovated farmhouse, very nicely done, with swimming pool in beautiful surroundings (although only a limited view of the towers of San Gimignano). The people running it were very helpful and very nice. Great place for a peaceful stay in the countryside but still only 5 minutes drive to San Gimignano. We'll definitely be back!
- Liked — Friendliness of the owners, overall atmosphere, wood-beamed ceiling!
- Disliked — No air conditioning but they did have a fan in the room which worked well
