We felt like the property wasn’t exactly upfront about our room. We paid extra to stay in the main house based on reviews. While it was nice to walk to breakfast, we were put in a converted barn below the main building. It was “eco-friendly” and we found it to be very basic, cramped, humid, and not comfortable for a four night stay. It was not on the examples of pictures of rooms. We do think the property needs to show the difference between the rooms because we met many people that loved their stay in the main house. It was much more comfortable. The floor was also extremely dirty and we had to have them fix this (they were very quick and accommodating about this). Had we known this ahead of time, we likely would have chosen to stay somewhere else due to the price of this room vs what we got. WiFi was also a challenge (believe it’s the area) so don’t expect super fast streaming. The property doesn’t allow drinks or food in rooms which we were also annoyed with given we are paying guests.

We loved the property overall. There was a fantastic view, the on-site restaurant was great to have, and everyone was insanely friendly. We really loved the cooking class we took. It was fantastic.

My stay in San Gimignano was nothing short of spectacular. The property was set against the picturesque Tuscan landscape, offering breathtaking views of the rolling hills and vineyards. The pool was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring the historic town. The service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. As for the food, it was an absolute highlight. Dinner was traditional tuscan dishes and their wine was equally impressive, all made on the property. Overall, Poderi Arcangelo in San Gimignano was the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and authentic Italian charm. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with top-notch service and food!

Rooms are traditional and therefore basic, they charge double the cost for their own bottles of wine in the restaurant when ordered with dinner when you can buy them for half the cost in the shop. This wasn't properly explained to us until check out and we were still charged double the price.

Location is ideal, in the middle of Tuscan Italy surrounded by vineyards.Cooking class was fantastic and a definite must as it was educational and fun. Learning how to make pasta was the highlight of the stay. The food served and prepared in the restaurant for dinner is a culinary delight, it felt like eating with the family.

Some of the fittings in our room were a little dated.

Beautiful location set amongst olive groves and vineyards with gorgeous views. The pool was amazing and the breakfasts were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I just wish there would be more fruit available by the breakfast.

The staff is very nice, especially at the reception. The estate is in a great location with a beautiful view. The continental breakfast and the dinner is delicious. They also produce and offer very good wine.

No glasses in the room. However, we were told to go get our own in the kitchen area. If you want to go into the San Gimignano town at night and don’t like driving in the dark… come back before sunset

Beautiful view. Swimming area. Quiet. Welcoming.

The only thing that was tricky was the stairs going in and out of the bathroom , at night you had to be careful.

The staff were excellent at helping with suggestions of where to eat and go and super friendly. Nice breakfast, gorgeous views and a beautiful infinity pool. We liked our room , it was spacious and very clean. Super relaxing stay.

The views are breathtaking!

Great facilities and excellent value for money. The pool was incredible.

The fact that one has to walk quite some distance from the building with the rooms to the restaurant area was a bit annoying.

Breakfast was great, amazing view and wonderful pool area.

Food was average, both at breakfast and dinner. Nice room, but would benefit from a renovation.

Beautiful view on the Tuscan hills and good location, very close to San Gimignano and Siena. Nice pool.

The bed in our room (Francesca) was very hard and we were only provided with one pillow each, although more were quickly provided when we asked for them. I asked if an extra blanket, topper or duvet could be added to the mattress to make it more comfortable and although this was quickly provided, the bed wasn’t re-made by housekeeping - I had to do this myself, removing all the covers and sheets - and the blanket was too small and thin to make any difference. So I had to re-make the whole bed using another blanket I found in the bottom of a wardrobe. A proper mattress topper, and some assistance from housekeeping to remake the bed would really have helped. There were also some issues with the water in the bathroom - on two mornings we were unable to have showers or flush the toilet for several hours. Breakfast was very nice but there wasn’t any variety each day and this could have improved it a little. The wonderful lady serving us at breakfast didn’t speak a word of English so we were unable to communicate about simple requests for boiled/poached eggs etc for our children. And although we loved the walk up to the main house for breakfast, we hadn’t realised it would be quite such a walk. The pool where we were was also much smaller than at the main house so I would recommend booking there instead.

Spectacular location and views and such a beautiful walk up to the main house each morning for breakfast. We also loved the infinity pool and the wine tasting and this was the perfect base for exploring the local area. What a special place and we will certainly recommend!

Uncomfortable bed downstairs in the annex but we stayed an extra night in the main house and the bed was better however the room was noisy and could hear neighbouring guests. Overall very good stay

Very good breakfast and evening meal on the terrace. Lovely pool with a view. Good wine tasting organised at the accommodation.

We had a room with attic accessed via shared (thus unusable) kitchen and living room. One night during our stay it was occupied by other guests, and we could hear all sounds coming from there, conversations, footsteps, etc. It was uncomfortable. Also because of the attic construction part of the room had low ceiling and was cramped.

Spectacular views from form the main restaurant on top of the hill on surrounding area. Good quality breakfast. Nice infinity pool. Close to San Gimignano. Helpful staff.

Dinner was cancelled during our 3 day stay due to the lack of guests. Not a big problem, as the town of Certaldo was 5km away.

Nice hotel on beautiful grounds, great breakfast on the veranda with spectecular views. Staff was very helpful.

Irene was super helpful and welcoming! The location was great as it was very close to San Gimignano as well as Certaldo and several hikes.

The room was ok, but the bathroom had a bit of a weird smell.

The accommodation was in a beautiful location, they had their own vineyards, olive trees and tastings. The staff was really friendly, lovely and helpful. The location of the accommodation was also really good for traveling and driving in Tuscany. The breakfast was also good.
