Beautiful property .. I found it a bit creepy at night , it is isolated from town. My biggest issue is there is no staff at night and no manager on site when we stayed . It was a young girl on the front desk and a few waiters at night until 11 pm. If there is any issue they do not even have a manager or supervisor they can call on the weekends . Not sure I would stay there again .

This property is absolutely gorgeous. Incredible tuscan valley views. Beautiful grounds. The staff was phenominal. Thanks to Michaele, Mel and the chef the experience was exponentially better. The head chef not only prepared incredible meals but he came out and grated each guest with a smile and a handshake. The drive to San Gimignano was easy and quick. Our only drawback was we paid extra for the Tower Suite so we can use the giant jacuzzi at the top of the tower but it only pumped out cold water so we didn't get to use what we paid for. I'm giving them 5 stars despite that because everything else was over the top good.

We had to book this hotel last minute due to issues with our villa. The staff were excellent and could not be more helpful, it was lovely to speak to them and also learn a bit more about the history of the building. They were aware of our situation and ready to help further if needed.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning and the breakfast (food, setting, service) was top notch. If you have the opportunity to stay here - definitely go for it!

Beautiful property and friendly staff. We stayed here for 6 nights with our 3 month old. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was great but the same options for 6 days got a little boring after some time. Also for food after hours you have to drive to town. One suggestion I would make is to add a coffee or tea maker in the room. It was advertised as the rooms have one but they don’t. A lot of early mornings I would have loved to enjoy some coffee/espresso on my balcony but did not have the option. And the Restaurant doesn’t open till 8am. Overall still great stay.

Property is highly recommended. We were very pleased as it provided a real country Tuscany feel about it. Very well appointed and 'historical'. Staying facing the garden in the summer had a drawback of mosquitos getting into the room. Hotel did not seem to relate this problem, not offer any solutions, so that was just a bit disappointing. Otherwise, this is highly recommended.

The grounds are amazing and the view out front to the Tuscan Hills will make you forget all of your worries. Clean room, great bathrooms. The place has that old century feel while still feeling modern enough. Make sure you pay before through Expedia or check out and not leave like other hotels in the US, I got an angry call from the front desk woman who’s thought I wasn’t paying and threatened to call the police even though there was a card on file that was used to hold the room. Besides that one interaction which I didn’t love everything else was amazing.

Beautiful grounds and exterior of the property, but the interior was very tired, service was definitely lacking relative to the other hotels we stayed in Tuscany and there was almost a “stale” vibe there (i.e. it was weirdly quiet and dimly lite). We booked the nice room with the jacuzzi at the top but we couldn’t get in the jacuzzi as i) first you had to request them to fill the tub 1 hour prior (you’d think they’d fill it automatically when you get in) and ii) once it was filled, we tried to get in but the temperature was so hot you could almost boil a lobster... we waited for 2 hours to see if it cooled down but to no avail. As this was one of the most expensive places we stayed in Tuscany, while it does have remedying qualities, it was honestly a let down relative to the other hotels (particularly considering this was the most expensive).

Great hotel near to the beautiful San Gimigiano

A very nice hotel, which has been very well restored from an old monastery. We had a lovely large room, with air conditioning, a very comfy bed, and a lovely bathroom. Although out of the centre of San Gimigiano, it is within walking distance of the town (20 mins), and we walked in almost every day during our stay.
All of the staff were very friendly and professional.
The breakfast is very good with an excellent selection of breads, cakes, fruit, cereals, yoghurts, meats, cheeses, jams, etc, and you can also have freshly made omlettes/eggs of your choice.
We ate in the hotel restaurant one evening, and the food and service was very good.
The pool area is very relaxing.

Beautiful location, unhelpful rude staff.

The location with a view over the town was lovely and so was the pool area. Unfortunately the service was not good and the hotel smelt musty. The reception staff were abrupt and management were rude and unaccommodating. Upon check-in we said that we had some Italian friends (a couple, no kids) in the area and we booked lunch for 4 at the terrace restaurant for 2 days later. The next day a manager told us that the restaurant would not be open but that our friends could join us by the pool and have a light lunch there, but that they could not swim in the pool as they were not insured. We said OK. We went out for lunch instead with our friends and then all came back to the pool, with the intention of spending an hour relaxing before they had to drive home. As soon as we had ordered drinks a staff member came out to us and said our friends were not allowed to be by the pool at all and they had to leave. This was incredibly embarrassing. If the hotel had said this policy in the beginning we would not have brought our friends in, but we did the right thing and asked in advance. To have the hotel tell us OK and and then have our friends turfed out (they were not even allowed to finish their drinks) was appalling. We were not noisy and they had been there only 10 minutes before they were asked to leave. We felt lied to and let down and were very unhappy about it. Do not offer one thing then take it back, especially not loudly in public and in front of our guests!

Simply dreadful service

Beautiful location, ruined by indifferent, rude and aggressive staff. when we arrived. we asked for an early breakfast (7 AM) on our departure day. We were told it was impossible to have any food before 8 AM (4* hotel, really?) and if we were leaving early we should settle our bill the night before. Charming welcome! Later we were enjoying a quiet drink in the lounge when a receptionist walked in and without acknowledging us switched on a huge TV to a blaring football channel. The bar was unstaffed and we had to wander around looking for someone to serve. The same receptionist dismissively waved us away, Stating 'go to the garden, Someone will serve you'. The hotel was taken over by a wedding to whom the staff devoted all the attention. They removed breakfast tables as guests left, to set up for the wedding. We were banish to the pool for lunch as the wedding party took over all the eating area. At dinner we were sat at an outside table 5m from the wedding party and live band. When we told the waiter we have decided to go into town to dinner he angrily cleared our table whilst we sat at it. At midnight, When the loud wedding disco music was still blaring, we rang to ask when it would finish. The receptionist shouted down the phone 'Will finish soon, what's your problem?' Simply dreadful. And we can't complain to the hotel as reception staff twice told us they didn't know who the manager was or who ran the hotel. It beggars belief.

Beauty and serenity in Tuscany

We loved La Collegiate! This former convent is lovely and peaceful. The buildings and grounds (gardens, pool, patios) are beautiful and beautifully maintained. There's even a small open chapel with a fresco of St Francis of Assisi in it. The decor is the right blend of antique furnishings and modern comforts. Our room and bath were spacious. The views from our room stunning. Breakfast was amazing - with a broad array of fruits, yogurts, eggs (even scrambled), meats, cereals, breads and juices. Finally, the staff was warm and helpful while not being intrusive. It really felt a bit like being in a convent. Lovely and peaceful. The hotel is several km from San Gimignano, but the town is easy to get to and parking was plentiful (in October). It also became our base for exploring other towns in Tuscany.

Get a deal - or its not worth it.

For the price we paid - there was a little bit of disappointment. this is a very high end establishment, and the cost reflects that. Thus I would assume that doors would close and positively lock without looking like I could lean on them and they would open... or that the air conditioning would work - even after the hotel staff said that they fixed it.

All in all no a bad hotel - just did not live up to the price.

Daily breakfast had huge variety of delicious hot and cold foods and a great view of San Gimignano. You will need a rental car to stay here and take advantage of the surrounding wineries and fantastic restaurants. Getting around was easy. The hotel offers tours, but we were able to do it all ourselves with a rental car, including visits to Sienna and Florence.
