DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!

I messaged the property after not receiving any information for check in or even confirmation of the stay. They never responded. I am now trying to get a refund for the amount I paid of a hotel I didn’t even get to stay in due to the property not even doing the minimum to confirm or send instructions. TERRIBLE.

I would 100% recommend this little piece of heaven if you are visiting San Gimignano! Just a couple minutes from the town centre, it is idyllic and just the right place to restore after a long day of sightseeing. The owner Alessandro was so welcoming and takes the comfort of his guests very seriously. The rooms were so clean and comfortable and the gardens are spectacular. You cannot go wrong staying here. Beautiful pool and the views are breathtaking.

This place is amazing! The views are spectacular. The room was perfect and the grounds are exactly what you’d expect for Tuscany. The owner is on hand at all times and is very friendly and accommodating. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get in until midnight. He stayed up for us and talked us through the directions there. You do need a car if you’re staying here since there is no public transportation.

Great location

Beautiful view, nice pool, good breakfast. Room was decent size with no view. Bed was a bit hard, shower was small but great water pressure n good towels. You need a car to get to town but nice that property was high up on mountain with a beautiful view. Great location if u want to drive to Siena or Florence both are about 45-60 min away. We enjoyed our stay.

The property was nice with great views of the Tuscan hills and of the town. Breakfast was average, the pool was quite nice, there was no WiFi reception in the rooms. It’s a 40 minute walk into town to get dinner cause they don’t serve any at the villa. So make sure you have a car. San Gimignano is lovely.

Gorgeous location. Alessandro’s expertise shines throughout il Casale del Cotone. The grounds and interior and exterior are kept immaculate. Area and location provide panoramic Tuscan views and close proximity to San Gimignano. Strongly recommend vehicle for convenient transport to nearby points of interest.

Great apartments

This property has two apartments as well as rooms. We hired both apartments for Grandparents and family with a baby. They worked very well for us. Breakfast was provided. It's within view of St Gimignano. There are many restaurants around the area and it's close to wineries and other beautiful towns. The grounds are lovely. It could be improved with nice wine glasses and good tea!

I would give this propert a 4.5 out of 5. The only turn-off was the cost of the dinner. Upon arrival we were offered to stay for dinner the following night. It was positioned as an invitation and were not told that it would cost us $70 euro. Had we known, we would have declined. It’s quite steep for what you can get at restaurants in the immediate area. We had a bit of a shock when we checked out a few days later and were given the dinner bill. We felt it was a bit sly, which is unfortunate given we had such a great time and enjoyed everything while we were there. Otherwise it’s a great location within quick driving distance to Towns and vineyards. The property itself has stunning views and a (cold) refreshing pool. Breakfast is the same basic options you get at any other hotel. Just ask them to disclose the cost of dinner and what it includes before agreeing to such a charming disceptive “invitation “.
