I will dream of this property forever. It has the most magnificent view of San Gimignano and the countryside, and is literally a 5 minute drive into town. It was the perfect escape for our honeymoon this summer. The only thing I wish we had, was more time to enjoy the hotel. The breakfast was super tasty!

Great place outside of San Gimignano

Spent a week at Villa Ducci and enjoyed every minute. Just a quick 5 minute drive to San Gimignano. We headed out early and returned in the afternoon for a swim. The staff was wonderful. Swimming pool great! (3€ each to rent a pool towel(s) for your stay) Restaurant was very good. It serves traditional Tuscan food. We ate dinner 3 times there. Breakfast was in the traditional Europien style, delicious pastries and a nice meat selection. Be aware, if you arrive at the end of the service many items will be gone. But not the coffee! We definitely will come back!

San Gimignano paradise!

An incredible experience in Tuscany. A beautiful setting with a warm welcome from Elisa and Villa Ducci chef. Excellent menu with great taste and view from the dining room.

October at Villa Ducci.

A room with a view over the hills and vineyards. The staff were all helpful and chatty but I do speak enough italian for a two way conversation and they were good with families of various nationalities. A good base or the walks I had planned and a scenic view of San Gimignano (about a mile away) every morning while I had my breakfast. I did get a bit of road noise with my window open but not with it closed and I could only get CNN on the telly which didn't matter because the weather (Oct) was warm and sunny so I was out and about all day, I even had 3 sessions in the outdoor swimming pool (very refreshing). I did not order any meals other than breakfast and I would certainly stay at Villa Ducci again.

Go for the View

Villa Ducci is 5 minutes from San Gimignano and has beautiful views of it. The staff are wonderful and helpful, we needed to change rooms and this was done with charm. The food was a real surprise, the chef makes brilliant meals, four star cooking in a three star hotel, he's good. Easy parking, pool available though we didn't use it. A very pleasant stay, apart from the ubiquitous mosquitos.

Lovely location, beautiful views of San Gimignano, rooms rather basic. Pool area lovely. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful except a old bald restaurant manager who was miserable and rude. We only ate here one evening because of him, he was bad enough every breakfast!! Never once got our order correct in 7 days. Shame as the hotel had a good vibe, rooms very clean, just needed a upgrade!

Clean hotel with beautiful views.

Clean hotel with beautiful views of the vineyards. The room and the bathroom are very spacious. The mattress is not adequate but manageable. No grounds to walk or lounge around the hotel, except for the pool area. Staff is not too friendly. Regrettable dinner in the hotel. Close to town, walking on the road is a bit dengerous.

Tuscan villa in beautiful surroundings

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely hotel.
It is 20 minutes walk to the town of San Gemignano. Friendly staff and nice views to the village from the dining area. Also a pool in a pretty setting.

Charming villa overlooking San Gimignano

I was very happy with our stay at Villa Ducci. The view of San Gimignano at breakfast alone was breathtaking. There's a lovely little garden to stroll around and enjoy the view. Unfortunately, it was too late in the year to enjoy the pool, but the view from the pool deck is also stunning. The rooms were clean and comfortable, except that the double beds weren't held together in any way, so they tended to slide apart. The bathroom was also nice, with good water pressure in the shower. Breakfast had a nice selection of foods and freshly prepared cappuccino. The front desk stays open until 10pm for check-in, so don't worry about arriving after 8pm. The hotel is built with lots of different levels, so I'm not sure how accessible it would be. I think there were stairs at every entrance and to most of the rooms.

Beautiful setting in Tuscany

Beautiful setting in mid Tuscany with views over a valley. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast good for basic Europe standards. Dinner quality was very average. Free wifi. Will recommend the stay but eat somewhere else.

Beautiful views of Tuscany, good locaton

We only stayed for one night. The room was clean and adequate. We ate dinner at the restaurant. The food was satisfactory, but not exceptional. The view from our room was amazing! The staff was attentive and very helpful. It was a short drive to the town of San Gimignano. I would recommend this hotel to others who are traveling through the region.

A Lovely Place in the Vinyards

This place looks like an old villa (read romantic quaint charm) recently converted into a hotel (read modern fixtures and finishes - often hard to find in the Italian countryside). My boyfriend and I booked one night and ended up staying 2. Here are the pluses... (1) A perfect setting on a hillside outside of San Gimignano. Many of the rooms actually have a view of the towers. And all the rooms seem to have fabulous views of the surrounding vineyards. (2) The reception desk was staffed by the friendly Elisa who speaks English wonderfully and helped us to plan our Tuscan itinerary. She even booked our next accommodations in Cinque Terre. (3) The grounds are gorgeous and include a pool. A few minuses, which were not significant for us... (1) The walls were a little thin, but good thing for us, the other guests were mellow and respectfully quiet. We rarely saw other people accept at meal times. (2) The restaurant within the hotel is convenient but uninspired. It offered a nice alternative to going into town after a full day of driving. The good far outweighs the few minor flaws. I would love to plan an event here - it's that lovely. Can't wait to be back.

Great Location

Excelente localização perto da porta de entrada da muralha de Siena. O dono é muito legal. Recomendo, deixe o carro no hotel, e visite tudo a pé.
