Al Pozzo dei Desideri

A hidden gem in a stunning location! San Gimignano is beautiful, would highly recommend a trip. This small hotel opens out onto the prettiest little square on one side, with the rolling hills of Tuscany on the other. Immaculate room, is even better than it looks in the photos! Would definitely stay here again.

Very good hotel wonderful location and design

We loved the place. It's a pity they claim to have non-existent facilities (no 'shower/tub combination', toiletries, minibar, or tea/coffee maker - there were even no water or wine glasses) because the rooms and the location are excellent and great value.

This is a minimalist experience, in all aspects. A great location and tasteful refurb is spoilt by lack of comfort and attention to detail.

Best shower I have seen looking over the roofs to the Tuscan countryside.

This is one of these small Italian places that's not exactly a hotel and not exactly an apartment. It has only 3 rooms and they're right on piazza d. Cisterna. Perfect for off-season, but it could get noisy in high season. As it was, our room looked out on the piazza, very picture-esque. There isn't 24 hour service, so you are given keys to let yourself in an out. We were with our two children, 14 and 9, and they had two pull out beds, which took up most of the space in the room. For a double, it would have been perfect, and good for 3, but too small for 4. But the price was right at 115 euros, although this didn't include breakfast. Add 5E per person for that. Since there is no elevator, you need to walk up several flights of stairs. Not a problem for us, but could be for others. A big plus was the bathroom, which was big for Italian hotels and had a wonderful shower. The room itself and the hallways were tastefully decorated, with vaulted brick ceilings. All in all, we had a very good stay.

San Gimignano is uniquely wonderful. To stay in a 13th century building with only 3 VERY tastefully designed bedrooms is also uniquely wonderful. We should have stayed longer!

This 3-room 'hotel' has only been open since June 2012 and it is beautifully restored, spacious, charming, luxurious and located in the true heart of San Gimignano, surrounded by towers & with wonderful views - ours was of the town & the Tuscan countryside. The hosts were friendly and helpful, as were the other guests! It is in a stone building built hundreds of years ago but retains that charm while being completely modern with heat, refrigerator, upscale bathroom, free wi-fi, and comfortable beds. We had 2 teenage sons with us and we all loved it. You get to drive in to drop off your luggage, park your car outside the walls for €15/night, then drive back in to load up to leave. It's a 5-10 minute charming walk through town from the parking to the hotel. We found it easier to walk with our luggage to the car at the end, as we got lost trying to drive to it the first night - the map print was very small.

We absolutely loved this hotel - its location is excellent, right in the middle of the town. There are only 3 rooms in the whole hotel, and we were the only guests staying so we had the whole place to oursleves (inc the front door key!!). The views from our room were amazing and i can image they'd be fantastic in the Summer! Unfortunately we visited on a Sunday in November (low season) which meant not a lot was open in the evening - we wish we'd have known this before going, but by no means the fault of the hotel at all. We did manage to find one restaurant, but the food was mediocre. We'll definitely visit again but perhaps when it's busier :-)

Rooms are gorgeous and the hotel is in the centre of the main square in San Gimigniano. Highly recommended.
