Good value for money right in the main street of San Gimignano. Giovanna does not speak a word of English and the breakfast is rather light...other than that the room was clean, Giovanna is friendly and its right in the main street of SG (was a bit noisy the first night but then very quiet the second). If you want... More

La Casa di Giovanna was better than I expected. My husband and I spent four nights there. We could breath the atmosphere of the medieval town, since we were in one of the old buildings of San Gimignamo. Our room had a view of the little main street, it was noise sometimes during the night, but it didn´t bother us.... More

But for the lack of parking; the bedroom, service and location deserve the maximum rating. My partner and I found La Casa di Giovanna, extremely comfortable, spacious, inviting, and clean. The high wood beams ceilings, the slightly crooked floor, the tall windows with shutters overlooking the main road; helped me to experience, in tiny part, how life must have been... More

The room was nice, clean, not too many stairs. The bed was comfortable, water was hot and there was a selection of books to read. The person that greeted us was nice but does not talk english. The room had a nice terrace and it was very pleasant to sit outside and have a drink and visit. Breakfast was okay... More

Me and my husband had booked a room at "La casa di Giovanna" a month before our visit to San Gimignano. When we arrived there, the man who was responsible (I think he was Giovanna's son) took us to another room of another nearby holiday rental and he claimed that he was fixing the baths (and he didn't me email...

This was our second stay at La Casa di Giovanna, the last time we stayed was 5 years ago, we reminded the owner of our disaster with the car parking disc (a long story) and she remembered us. This house is in a stunning location, right on the main street, can be a little noisy if you have a room... More

Stayed here for one night in the winter. There weren't a lot of open places, and we were lucky that we walked up to this place just when the proprietor was walking up. There was a definite language barrier, but we were able to communicate well enough, and were provided with a nice sized room. The room felt like you... More

We have stayed 2 nights in this hotel which is in the main street of San Gimignano. Rooms are clean and you can live the old histrocial town from your window. If you really want to live in the centre of San Gimignano it's ok for 2-3 night stays. But you can also find hotels with swimming pools and nature... More

Beautiful clean rooms in a great location. It is in the main street not far from the entrance to the old town- but it is very quiet. Giovanna is lovely- I had a very nice stay for just one night- unfortunately! More
