This was our first B&B in Italy, and wow, it was lovely! The hosts, although limited in English, tried so hard to accommodate us and be helpful. The bath was huge, the room just right and the view was magnificent! Roberto's paintings were amazing and added so much to the house. It was so easy to walk into town and... More

I loved this place. It may not be for everyone as a car is most definitely necessary. It is conveniently within nice walking distance of the town center. I appreciated being able to wake with the lovely view of town from my window, which you obviously can't enjoy if you stay in town. Locanda Viani felt very homey with comfortable... More

Stayed at Locanda Viani for three nights in Sept 2010. Roberto was a warm, charming host who greeted us every evening upon returning from our siteseeing. Paola prepared the once/week guest dinner that was fit for a Michelin star restaurant. Their son, Cesare, helped Roberto to serve dinner. English is spoken, but Italian too to help learn it. Felt like... More

We were spoiled with a romantic & spotless room, with a private terrace offering 360 views of tuscan hillside. This alone would earns close to 5 stars. In addition, we experienced a culinary adventure from a personal gourmet chef Paola, plus guided by a travel expert, and immersed ourselves in daily tuscan life with daily history lessons from Roberto.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this B&B. Roof top terrace attached to our room afforded wonderful views of the Tuscan hills and it is an easy walk into San Gimignano. More

Nice, Spacious rooms with amazing views of San G and the surrounding picturesque Tuscan countryside. Friendly family owners who spoke only Italian, and putting mine to the test. They are a chef, a former artist and a cute bambino and give the B+B personality. It is a bit pricey but worth it for its many attributes. More

We stayed at Locanda Viani for four nights during our honeymoon trip to Italy. Roberto, Paola and their adorable son Cesare were wonderful hosts! Our room was beautiful and we had a private terrace with a view overlooking San Gimignano. On our second night, Paola cooked a private dinner for us, and we shared a bottle of Roberto's homemade wine-... More

I've recently spent a lovely tuscan vacation with some friends at Locanda Viani and we were incredibly impressed; it exceeded our expectations! We were welcomed by the owner and painter Roberto Viani, a great host, that gave us countless useful tips for our visit. The rooms are very elegant and comfortable, the beds are gorgeous, we slept wonderfully. The location... More

Roberto Paola and "simpatico" son Cesare are the most gracious of hosts. The Locanda Viani is an absolutley fabulous location for anyone staying in Tuscany. Roberto and Paolo exude passion for their work and region complimenting one another and rendering your stay an experience you will never forget. The view from the Locanda Viani is stunning overlooking San Gimignano and... More

My husband and I stayed in San Gimignano for three nights and were lucky enough to discover Locanda Viani on Trip Advisor. As we first rolled up to the B&B, I was instantly thrilled to discover how peaceful and quiet the location is. We were immediately greeted by the adorable Cesare (words can't describe how adorable he is!) and were... More
