Beautiful hotel quaint town with plenty to see. Very helpful staff, nice delicious breakfast. We had a lovely time. The beds and pillows are very firm which takes getting used to but overall we were very impressed.
We had a wonderful stay in San Gimignano. Our host Andrea was very helpful and offered advice and information on what to see and do in the town. The apartment was spacious and clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The view from the window was spectacular. It was a bonus to have breakfast included. The location was perfect for exploring the town. We hope to return and highly recommend the apartment to family and friends.
Arrived early, but clearly not very welcome and no possibility of early checkin. I had called both contact numbers to discuss checkin time but no reply and no opportunity to leave a message. We found the host sharp and business like.
The room is up a lot of stairs and very spartan, no tea or coffee making facilities and plastic cups for water. It was noisy from guests above regularly moving furniture across solid floor at night and early morning.
Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast (only available after 8:30), so cannot comment on it.
The toilet was difficult to flush and the seat was damaged and unsightly.
A rather incongruous portable air-con unit spoils the authentic look of the room.
The location was great, and the room has a great view of the Tuscan countryside, but wouldn't suit anyone with significant luggage.
This hotel is not family or vacation friendly. This is for a local tourist that’s traveling with a backpack. There are about 80 stairs to get to your room, so take that into consideration for every time you have to go back to your room. There is also no air conditioning and the owner told us just keep your windows open. That was also not doable with the noise outside and all the birds that would fly inside bc there are no curtains or nets on windows. We went in may-June and it was cool outside but very very hot in the room so I can’t imagine staying here when hot outside. There is also parking but about a mile away and all uphill to go to this hotel. It was torture staying here with kids and when we asked to change room the person in charge was very rude.
San Gimignano is beautiful and we are so glad we stayed here as the room is right in the historic city. We were lucky as our room was only up about 8 stairs (other rooms were another flight up). We didn’t read the check in procedures which require you to notify the owner 24 hours in advance. We just showed up and called the contact. Lucky for us he was on site to check in other guests. He was able to meet us at the public parking lot and we followed him with our car into the historic center in order to drop our bags. We then had to return the car to the parking lot and paid about 15 euros to leave our car over night. The room was authentic and beautiful but we didn’t have any glasses or a full roll of toilet paper (and ran out!). It may have been because they didn’t really expect us as we just showed up. Our host was incredibly kind.

Ottima posizione. Stanza, servizi ed accoglienza nella norma.
Mitt i smeten med bästa läget. Bra kommunikation med värden. Lite hård säng och ingen bra AC. Annars ett trevligt boende i historiska miljöer med trevlig frukost.
Eine wunderschöne und historische Unterkunft mitten in San Gimignano. Zentraler geht es nicht. Super netter Vermieter. Wir haben bei ihm kostenfrei geparkt und er hat uns bis vor die Tür gefahren und dort wieder abgeholt.
Sehr empfehlenswert!!!
Posizione eccezionale. La stanza nella foto dà sulla piazza principale, e sembra di stare in un castello. Quella adiacente si affaccia su una bellissima campagna.
Servizi essenziali (ovviamente non è un hotel) ma grande pulizia e gentilezza.
Hospitality is the key with this property: We walked down the hillside from San Gimignano to check in at the B&B's farmhouse, a 15-minute walk down a lovely country road, providing the most amazing views of San Gimignano from outside the walls. There, we arrived just as the proprietors were bottling their vin santo -- to our luck! We enjoyed a glass (or two!) with biscotti, alongside Andrea, Francesco, Carla and another couple staying at the farm. What a welcome! We welcomed a ride to our B&B, right on the Piazza delle Cisterna. We walked up a few flights, and when our host flung open the shutters, we had the most idyllic view of the Tuscan valley. We woke each morning in that room to a beautiful sunrise, then enjoyed baked goods, fruit and cappucinos each morning in the common breakfast area (thanks, Antonella!). We loved our first day so much, we added two more nights, on our third night moving to a room that overlooked the piazza. Both rooms were spectacular, with antique furniture and furnishings that hinted at its palazzo past. Take note of the placard in the foyer - notable citizens lived in this palazzo for a century! On Mondays and Thursdays, dinner is offered at the farm, which was a lovely change from dinners we'd enjoyed within the walls. We loved feeling so welcomed by Francesco, Andrea and Carla, and recommend staying with them! We hope to return.
Everything was beyond incredible. A little piece of heaven on earth. That good.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Pros are the location, room size, and view of valley. As for the location, there are two other hotels on the main square that both have onsite staff, I would advise to choose one of them instead of this B&B. Cons are everything else. The checkin was difficult. There is no onsite staff and the door is unmarked and hard to locate. We had to walk bags up the hill and call and wait for someone to check us in. There was no coffee pot in the room, no AC, 4 floor walk up, and the few staff we spoke with didn’t understand English very well and were hard to talk with. There is only public parking at 10-15 euros per day (no in out privileges) which is very limited from 10-6 each day.

The flat was not anything like was pictured, and though it was ok and very well located, I wouldn't have booked it at this price if I'd seen an accurate depiction. In order to park the car, it was necessary to park at their farmhouse, which is a 20 minute walk.
Vi hadde et veldig hyggelig opphold på B&B Palazzo Tortoli midt i San Gimignano. Inngangsdøren var litt vanskelig å finne, men vert Andrea fikk geleidet oss trygt inn etter at vi ringte han. Han var utrolig serviceinnstilt og kjørte oss også hjem etter middag på B&B Ponte A Nappo. Middagen der var vel verdt å få med seg selv om det også er mange restauranter innenfor murene.
