"Phenomenal location at the heart of San Gimignano"

"A lovely hotel next to their own vineyard and a 20/25 min straightforward walk into beautiful San Gimignano with the most stunning views on the way. Rooms spacious and cleaned every day, lovely breakfast buffet and friendly and helpful staff. The pools were wonderful and quiet and the food and wine in the restaurant was delicious. We also did the wine tour and tasting which was interesting and used the gym which was nice to have. Easy parking and perfect position to explore Tuscany. We will definately be back the next chance we get!"

"This property was beautiful! Highly recommended. "

"Our suite was BEAUTIFUL! Decorated to a very high standard. We had our own terrace which was perfect. The restaurant was super accommodating as we had two fussy eaters with us (our children) they made them something that they would eat! Super grateful and the food was delish. Would recommend this beautiful hotel to everyone! Next time we stay we will make sure to try the pool! "

"Our stay at Poderi Arcangelo in the rolling hills of San Gimignano was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the views were the kind that stop you in your tracks – especially at sunset when the Tuscan hills glow gold. The food was exceptional every day, with authentic local flavours that made each meal a highlight. The staff were warm, welcoming and always tried their best to help, adding to the charm of the place. The location is perfect for exploring nearby treasures such as San Gimignano itself, Certaldo, and Volterra. One thing to note – a hire car is essential. Public transport is virtually non-existent here; we couldn’t get a bus at all and taxis, while available, were scarce and very expensive – we spent €400 on just three journeys. This isn’t the hotel’s fault, though it would have been helpful to know in advance. Also, while the property is beautiful, there’s no real indoor bar area for relaxing before or after dinner. There is an outdoor bar, but it only opens on weekends and closes at 18:00, so an early evening drink isn’t always possible. Despite this, we had seven days of bliss and would return in a heartbeat – next time with a hire car, ready to explore every corner of this stunning part of Tuscany. "
