We only stayed two nights, but it felt like we were in a movie!
The room is spacious and very comfortable. The entire property is wonderful and very tasteful. However, the Hotel has enormous potential yet to be explored...
The weather wasn't fantastic, but we managed to stretch out on the pool chairs during the afternoon and it was really nice.
We felt at home! A very familiar environment and ideal for those who want to experience a "family home"!

A Tempting Tuscan Sun
San Gimignano, with the Italian sun glistening intently on its 14 remaining towers, cuts a dramatic figure from its position high on a Tuscan hill overlooking vineyards. However, it is when you get up-close-and-personal with this medieval-walled city and crane your neck to the blue sky that you truly appreciate its mesmerising beauty.
If you take away the swarming summer tourists circling the piazzas of San Gimignano, then this city offers you a wonderful trip back in time. The main square, Piazza della Cisterna, is surrounded by Romanesque buildings and Piazza del Duomo features Torre Grossa, the city’s tallest tower.
San Gimignano, originally an Entruscan village, was part of the ancient pilgrim route Via Francigena joining France to Rome. Its name was derived from the Bishop of Modena and is well known today as the Town of Fine Towers.

A trip to Tuscany must include San Gimignano! Highly recommend for its medieval charm, spectacular views and delicious food. It really feels like stepping back in time. It’s not public transport accessible and if you have limited time, hiring a car is the best way to go. Ample public parking is available as well.
We visited around late October so it wasn’t too busy compared to summer time and the weather was perfectly warm during the day and mild around dinner time. Light jacket only. It’s a photographer’s delight as there’s always a scenic opportunity as we turn a corner.
From SG we drove to Siena, another stunning city close by and not to miss! For lunch we were lucky enough to stumble upon a small multi-Routard recommended resto and it seriously did not disappoint. It’s called Osteria Nonna Gina di Lella e Dado. Some of the best pasta we’ve had in Emilia Romagna is here.
Also don’t miss the gelato at Gelateria Dondoli, they’ve won multiple awards and offer unique gelato flavours you really have to try.

If you’re in Tuscany, you have to visit San Giminiano.
If you’re in Tuscany, you have to visit San Giminiano. The city centre has a very special architecture and a lot of small shops and wineries. It’s the perfect place to spend a few days with your spouse. We had a wine tasting at Marronaia Winery, close to the city and we enjoyed it, but next time I would also try another winery, like Tenuta Torciano, which we tried a few months earlier. We ate a fantastic meal at ristorante Fuoriluogo, which I recommend strongly. I recommend staying as close as possible to the city, it’s a nice feeling that you can walk while admiring the sights.

I can't describe it, you have to be there, you have to see this miracle.
I recommend parking lots number 3 and 4, there is always space, the price is reasonable and you only have to walk for a few minutes, and there is also an elevator.

It is one of the most unique destinations in all of Europe.
It is one of the most unique destinations in all of Europe. San Gimignano is a must-visit when in Tuscany. Its medieval appearance whisks you back in time and one can easily transform the tourists to locals bringing their food to market. High-quality restaurants and a world-champion gelateria, what is not to fall in love with. Leave your healed shoes at home and wear comfortable footwear as the streets, side streets and shops are far from smooth, but this is just part of the experience

We stayed in late September, the weather was amazing and the city not to crowded. I would fully recommend staying in the exceptional hill top town which in the evenings as the crowds go home is the perfect place to eat and relax.

You can explore the Torre Grossa and a couple of other sites with one pass, there's excellent pasta (you will smell the ragù while you explore in the afternoon!) and aperitivi for just a few euros, plenty of places to cool off with gelato, and the view over Tuscany from the Torre and the Rocca are spectacular.
The town in miniature is also worth your time. And be sure to have a glass of Vernaccia, the local white wine!
We arrived at an amazing, quiet place with a stunning view. Virginia welcomed us with glasses of wine in the view of San Gimignano and the olive groves. The room was stunning (better than the pictures), cozy, and clean. Hotel area is amazing, you can hang out in the hammock among the trees and enjoy the peace. The pool was too cold for me, but its area is lovely, clean, and stunning. We had a great breakfast. This is definitely a place we'll go back to, and we'll recommend it to everyone.
This hotel is beautifully run! The staff are so helpful
And cudgels! From the moment Emanuele picked me up at the train station to the time I checked in with Massimo! Massimo arranged my dinner reservations and took excellent care of me. I come to Italy every year for a month and the bed is one of the most comfortable I have slept in! The location is incredible! I’m only sorry I didn’t stay 1 or 2 days more! They make you just feel special!
If you stay in this villa, you will get a perfectly authentich Tuscan feeling. Quiet location, one minute drive from the main road.
The villa has a nice pool where we stayed every day after our trips to different towns.
The owner, Roberto adds a lot to the nice experience. He helped us find good restaurants and wineries near San Gimignano and served a nice breakfast every morning in baskets.
The villa has a nice view to the Tuscan hills.
You will not find a better location and comfortable apartment than this in the most beautiful village in Italy. The host Clara gave us just the most amazing welcome and the room is spacious with a very comfortable bed. We were there in February and had the whole medieval village to ourselves (it felt like it😁). This will be an unforgettable stay in Casa Irene and hope we can return one day.
I like everything here - the view, the location, the room, the bed, Gabriella and her husband, and Kika! It’s so serene and tranquil here. The garden is so well managed. Gabriella is so kind and helpful and she gave a lot of good suggestions on spending the time here. It has made my best memories in Italy so far. Will definitely come back again.
This lovely hotel is set amid a Tuscan vinyard and is serene, beautiful and comfortable. In the evening, we watched the dinner drinking local wine. The hotel organized a fabulous picnic breakfast for us in the vineyard the next morning. I’d highly recommend this to travelers looking for a respite from the crowds in Florence and San Gimignano!
The palace is a gorgeous and well maintained hotel/historic jewel located conveniently in the city center. The hotelier Marzia is professional and knowledgeable. Marzia provides 5 star hotel concierge services for her guests. Her knowledge of the town and the Tuscany region is helpful to tourists seeking additional help.
The apartment is located out of town on a farm and has a wonderful view of San Gimignano. It is very peaceful and quiet. The rooms are a moderate size but the bathroom/shower is separate. There are no food preparation facilities in the room although there is a bar fridge. There is access to kitchen facilities nearby.
Location very nice - close to the town.
Swimming pool was a welcome relief during the hot weather in June/July (Heat wave in Italy). Kids loved it.
Wish we could have stayed longer! Will most definitely recommend if you want to explore the Tuscany Countryside. The town of San Gimignano is awesome.
We have been in Italy for about 2 weeks and this is the best property we have stayed at since coming. The property is beautiful, the service was exceptional and the wine is excellent. We ordered a case to be shipped to our home. If you are ever in the Florence area, staying here is a must.,
I don't know a better place in Italy! It is so beautiful place that I would prefer not to share it with anyone! :))) Great location for daily trips!
Serena is amazing, explains everything, gives good advice. We are very much looking forward to our next vacation in this wonderful place.
The best lookation in San Gimignano and an exceptional boutique hotel with breathtaking views from the room and the breakfast area. The staff was super nice and helpful and the room was very well. The dacore all over the hotel add the extra mile to the experience
Antica Dimora is totally beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. The location is charming in this lovely small town. The bed was easily the most comfortable bed we’ve slept in in all of Italy. Clio could not have been more hospitable. It was great.
This was the best place we stayed during our 2 week Italy trip! The rooms are super cosy and clean. The location is perfect, right in the middle of the old time. What really made us love this place was the kindnesses and friendly demeanor of the owner.
Brilliant hotel just inside the city walls. The shower was excellent and San Gimignano is fantastic town. The staff were great, really helpful in advising us where to visit in town and the food in the restaurant was excellent.
What an amazing spot! Minutes away from San Gimignano city centre! The staff was so helpful and responsive with booking tastings at nearby vineyards. The hotel was beautiful, great selection for breakfast!
If you are visiting Italy and Turkey want to immerse yourself in Tuscany this hotel is IT! Such a beautiful location! View of San Gimignano was perfect from the deck. Nice pool and gardens as well.
If you are looking for a clean, budget friendly hotel to stay near San Gimignano, this is a good choice.
The rooms are basic, but efficient.
The pool was open and people were enjoying it.
.
The location was excellent, and Manfredi was a perfect host. His two cats were an added treat, as we are cat people. The breakfast was the best we had during our stay in Italy.
Great staff. Beautiful, and peaceful hotel. Perfect location just outside San Gimignano. This was our second year in a row at La Collegiata and we will be coming back for sure.
