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!

A very beautiful property and grounds. Pool area lovely. Limited food options and no prices on the drinks. Felt the staff could have been a bit more friendly and welcoming. We arrived slightly early and were told we could not use the facilities until our room has been assigned. Never had that before. Not terribly helpful on a hot day.

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).

Location ++. We have seen some negative reviews about this place but our experience was superb with a very helpful team onsite. The view from the grounds is fantastic and chilling by the pool on a hot Tuscan day was wonderful. This is a converted monetary so people expecting a modern plush room should consider something else - but you will be missing out on something truly beautiful. The service was excellent.

An amazing property in a handy location if you have a car. Just a short 5 minute drive in to the n town. The pool was a bonus in the heat.

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.

Avoid the restaurant at all cost.

The hotel and setting are beautiful, but our stay was ruined by an inedible meal and the rude behavior of the hotel staff. Our filet was a miserable cut of meat, and quite possibly not beef. When we complained we were met with rude responses and told that we were wrong about the quality of the cut of meat. Enjoy the hotel, but don't eat at the on-site restaurant.

The air condition was turned off for the season so we had the windows open. Then it was quite noisey with the kitchen below the room....definitely ask for a room that is not above the kitchen. The restaurant was \"fancy\" but the food was just \"OK\" for the price paid. The dessert was horrible.

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.

The hotel is gorgeous and we have no complaints about the cleanliness, the staff, or the food (restaurant is superb). The only reason we didn't rate it 5 stars all the way is that the air conditioning is not very strong and we didn't sleep well the first night due to the high temp in the room. We asked the staff to leave the AC on during turn down service the next few days and it did cool down after tentative.

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.

This hotel was amazing! Perfect romantic setting in the most picturesque Tuscan town. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and spoke terrific English. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Simple but well-decorated. The grounds are beautiful, and the surrounding scenery is amazing. 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. We have visited many beautiful countries, but this was one of the most beautiful, picturesque hotels that we have ever stayed at.

Un lieu enchanteur, terni par un manque de discernement

Je voyage seul et suis arrivé tard à l’hôtel, vers 18h. L’endroit est tout simplement sublime : les jardins, l’architecture, la vue… un véritable rêve toscan. En arrivant, le premier mot que j’ai prononcé à la réception, avant même de dire bonjour, a été « Wow ».

Il faisait près de 40 degrés. Comme je fais un long road trip de trois semaines, j’avais choisi cet hôtel en partie pour sa piscine. Mon rythme est simple : repos l’après-midi, découverte des villages en soirée. J’ai donc demandé, très poliment, s’il était possible de payer pour un départ tardif afin de profiter un peu de la piscine le lendemain. La réponse fut un non catégorique. J’ai alors proposé, toujours aussi gentiment, de simplement pouvoir rester quelques heures au bord de la piscine, en offrant bien sûr de payer ce service. Nouveau refus net.

Le lendemain matin, plusieurs chaises longues étaient inoccupées. Je comprends qu’il y ait des règles, mais un peu de jugement aurait suffi. Ce manque total de souplesse m’a laissé un goût amer. Quand la réceptionniste m’a accompagnée à la chambre, elle m’a dit : « Pour toute demande, n’hésitez pas à appeler la réception. » Phrase sans doute apprise par cœur… dommage qu’aucune des deux premières demandes n’ait été accueillie avec ouverture.

Un cadre magnifique, mais une hospitalité rigide. Je ne me suis pas senti le bienvenu.
