Podere Sant'Elena is true gem in a wonderful part of Italy. It is situated across a valley from the old village of San Gimignano, in a completely revamped farm building. Our room was comfortable, well laid out, with a nice bathroom with shower. Our hostess, Barbara, and her assistants, Irene and Fabio went to great lengths to make our stay... More

Our hosts Barbara, Irene and Fabio were super friendly. Excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms, nice swimmingpool. We liked our stay here and can recommend this place to anyone. You can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view on the city, read a book or take a glass of wine. Great !

We had a feeling that this place is striving to be the most perfect place in Tuscany or it just simply was. It's just that you feel that attention is given to each detail, even the corridor in the main building smelled like soft perfume. All so tidy, cute and orderly that we even were kindly asked to hide our... More

This quaint bed and breakfast is on a hill across a valley from San Gimignano. The view of the city is fantastic. The location is very quiet, in the farms, with no traffic. Our room was spacious and very clean. The breakfast was very good, better than most Italian hotels. Our only problem, and it was a little problem, was... More

If you don't want to stay in a city or town, but want to be close to them, this is the place to stay in San Gimignano. Fantastic rooms overlooking the pool or the vineyards towards the town, great breakfasts with wide variety especially of pastries from the owner's bakery. The hosts were helpful and spoke good English. The pool... More

We loved Podere Sant'Elena!! It was quiet... it was peaceful... and had a great view to San Gimigniano!!! The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. Our room had a great view but I'm not sure that all rooms were all equal in matters of the view... The pool was marvellous and a great break from all day excursions around... More

Within a few minutes drive-time of San Gimignano's several public parking areas, is Podere Sant'Elena - surrounded by vines and unspoiled countryside. These converted farm buildings atop a hill with the unique San Gimignano gracing the horizon, capture the very essence of Tuscany. To add to the visitor's pleasure is a magnificent pool. Parking is a two minute walk away... More
