Looking down over the medieval towers of San Gimignano from the top of a picturesque hilltop is recently renovated Antico Borgo Il Cardino, a characteristic Tuscan villa. The hotel has both rooms and apartments, all furnished in a traditional style, with charming decor and furniture. Some rooms also have their own terraces. Views can be fully appreciated from the gardens where you can relax in the swimming pool or stroll around the hotel’s considerable gardens, complete with lake and children’s play area. Antico Borgo Il Cardino is 9 km from San Gimignano, 30 km from Siena and 40 km from Florence. In summer, a rich buffet breakfast is served in beautiful natural surroundings in the outdoor terrace area.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

    The property and the facilities are fantastic. The location, near San Gimignano old town centre is perfect. The breakfast, served on your own terrace, was delicious. Nico was a very friendly host.
