After touring around Italy, Venice, Rome and Florence we stayed at the Hotel & Restaurant Casolare Le Terre Rosse for some much needed down time. The pool and grounds were fabulous and the staff were great. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and had some bar meals during the day, both were very good and a fair price. We treated ourselves to the 'Tasting Menu' one evening with the matched wines and it was great we would definitely recommend.

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.
The 12th-century Collegiate Church of San Gimignano is a worth a visit with its wonderful collection of frescoes, and it also includes the Religious Art Museum.
Whether it is sitting on a restaurant terrace sipping some local Vernaccia wine or attending the lively Thursday Market, Booking.com has a range of San Gimignano hotels, guest houses and apartments for your stay. And just out of the city are options such as farm stays and country houses in the Tuscan countryside.
VERY popular with tourists, and well-deserved! You can easily chew up a solid day trying to cover all the interesting sights. There's no shortage of expected tourist shops along the clean quaint walks with buildings towering either side. A pleasant add is all the good quality clothing, food/drinks stops and art stores, as well. My wife could not decide on two light summer dresses, but were reasonably enough priced I got her both. And then quite nice sandals at another shop. And surprisingly inexpensive very good wines of the region's bespoke grapes. Definitely get the full tour ticket when doing the Tower Grosso climb and Collegiata cathedral tour. There's 5 attractions total included, and DO NOT MISS the contemporary art, medieval medicinal glass & glazedware works, and performing artists photo portraits exhibition all together at Museo Etrusco at the outskirts of the area. It's hidden gem, and conveniently on the way to the lower carpark. Car parking is a bear, and you must get there even before mid morning.

The stay was way too short, wish could have lasted longer, the room with the balcony view was a pleasant surprise, fantastic panorama couldn't ask for more, the breakfast had a lot of variety to suit everyone's choice . The staff are very helpful and friendly , a special mention for the lady who cleans the rooms, not easy but she did the work with care and a smile on her face , would recommend to anyone who has the chance to visit😊

It was wonderfully located for our other side trips to Florence, Siena, and Chianti.
There was a lovely art store and shop for kitchen aprons, linens and oven mitts which can be custom embroidered where we made purchases.
And an interesting paper museum all within a short walk of each other.

Gorgeous little town, amazing food and really nice to walk around. It is clearly designed for tourists which has both positives and negatives. There is clear signage everywhere and the parking facilities are excellent (and cheap!) However it does get really crowded in the afternoon as there are a lot of tours in big groups walking around so would advise going early morning or evening. The evening time was great, very few tourists around and lots of nice restaurants and gelaterie to get dinner/ice cream.

A trip to Tuscany must include San Gimignano!
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.
- Very friendly, helpful and uncomplicated staff!
- The location is FANTASTIC! 2 mins from the center of San Gimignano and all restaurants and an amazing bakery is "right next door".
- Very clean bed sheets and towels. Better than many hotels.
- The windows had mosquito nets installed. (Very needed, bc there are nasty mosquitoes in the summer)
- Parking right infront of the house.
- We were allowed to use the pool at the main office building (3min drive by car).
Beautiful agriturismo (more 4* material than 3), unbeatable and gorgeous views from garden, pool and restaurant areas, wonderful and accomodating staff and delicious food and wines! We recommend booking the winetasting with tour of the cellars:) Breakfast was the best we have seen in Italy (so many choices and delicious food) and the room was beautiful, modern and very clean. Location close to San Gimignano and Volterra (must sees)!
Fattoria is the most gorgeous property we stayed at in Italy! the whole area is so scenic & the accomodation is absolutely perfect with the best outlook over San Gim. the staff were incredible, the breakfast & hospitality was outstanding! also we dined there & had wine by the pool on 2 out of three nights, highly recommend the chef is amazing, mixing local ingredients with delicious combinations. we wished we stayed longer!
After a hectic week in Rome, Country House Tenuta Fornacelle was just the right place for us to relax in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Roberta is a wonderful host, very welcoming and attentive to any of your needs. Make sure to try some of their white and red wines and olive oil produced on site!
Roberta gave us a tip for a nearby restaurant that turned out to be one of the best dining experience we had in Italy.
Breakfast was served on the terrace overlooking the idyllic hills full of olive trees and vines. You can also enjoy the swimming pool (very nice and clean). The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is not a luxury property but you can feel the spirit of Tuscany, relax and enjoy the fact that you are remote. For dinner, we used to drive to San Gimignano, where there are many nice restaurants.
The hotel located not far from San Gimignano old town, only few minutes by car and surrounded by beautiful vineyard and olive garden. Just perfect as a sanctuary and to explore San Gimignano. The hotel have private parking space, swimming pool, beautiful garden and delicious breakfast. All facilities are clean and shiny.
One other thing, the staff very helpfull, 5 star for their services👍.
Beautiful accommodation! We absolutely loved this place. From the great staff to the amazing views, this was it. This was the Italy we'd been dreaming of. I practically had to drag my wife away kicking and screaming! The restaurant was great with exceptional views and the pool was nice and refreshing. Definitely give this place a shot when you're visiting Tuscany!
The apartment was beautiful and in a wonderful location central to the heart of San Gimignano. A few doors down there is a shop that sells wonderful meats, cheeses, wine, etc. We had dinner one evening on the back patio overlooking the countryside. I would highly recommend this place to stay while in town. It is worth more than an afternoon trip!
Everything! Picturesque property with the nicest staff and unbelievable food. Pedro and Diego have created something special in the hills just outside San Gimignano. Our stay here was easily the best part of our 2 weeks in Italy, topped off by a cooking class with Andrea on the terrace. It was a truly magical experience.
Exceptional location and beautiful scenery , Paola, the host was always available and always helpful in any questions we had. The pool is always clean, Breakfast was excellent and a good choice before heading out to explore more of Italy.
Nice country side hotel 15 minutes from San Gimignano, the environment of the hotel was incredible and staff were friendly and welcoming.
Parking , restaurants , swimming pool available, good wifi and super comfy rooms and facilities
This was the best place we stayed at during our trip through Italy. Everything was fantastic and they were incredible hosts. My partner is a coeliac and they prepared separate gluten free food for her breakfast and dinner.
The lady is friendly. The scenery is magnificent. It is very near to San Gimignano, a beautoful Midieval town. There are several great wineries around the area. Our stay was very pleasant. I will definitely go back.
Il Rosolaccio is an excellent choice for staying near San Gimignano and Certaldo. The location is very convenient and the rooms offer wonderful views of the beautiful rural landscape. It couldn't have been better.
Staff was very hospitable and welcoming, always smiling. The property is well located near San Gimignano however you must take transportation to move around the area. It is a nice place.
Friendly staff, very good location and comfortable room. The main location of the hotel, which is outside of San Gimignano has lovely surroundings and you can taste great wine.
