Villasanpaolo

Superb and very attractive hotel. A junior suite gave us a lot of lounging space and the patio area was excellent. Pool beautifully situated with lunch facilities on hand. Restaurant served very good food but overall hotel was very quiet in the evenings so we tended to eat in San Gigimagno - only 10 min drive. Recommend the Vecche Mura restaurant - beautiful views from the garden terrace. Hotel is magnificently sited and totally lived up to expectations

The hotel is wonderful and the setting is spectacular. My family was asked me already if we can return ! The spa was one of the unexpected highlights. We weren't planning on using the area, but the inside pool and beautiful design were hard to decline. There is no charge to use the fitness center but a charge to use the inside pool area. Not sure if that should be the case, but it was. Important to note. The restaurant at the hotel for dinner is very overpriced and the meals we ordered were not good at all. The breakfast however is outstanding and is included in the room charge. I think it is worth it compared to other hotels we stayed in. Also, the hotel doesn't let you use money to pay for anything. Everything is charged to the room which I don't like. I like to have the OPTION TO PAY if I wish to but the answer is clearly no. When I asked to see the bill at dinner (the one I do not recommend), the waiter first said no, that the total would be charged to the room. I insisted on seeing the manager so that I could at least SEE what the charge was. Beware of that. The waiter staff was no polite, however the concierge and all other staff were kind and helpful. One last thing: I really liked the location of the hotel. We had no problems parking the car at San Gimignano when we went into town.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel which offerred everything we needed . It provided top class service if a touch stuffy but delivered peace and quiet with top class facilities . Overall prices were in the highest bracket particularly the restaurant and the range of facilities in the wellness centre - little used by ourselves by choice - were as good as any we've experienced. if you've deep pockets and are looking for something different with emphasis on peace then this is the place for you . Not recommended however for children which fortunately were not in evidence during our stay which was for two weeks in early September 2008. We would certainly go back.
