A rambling farmhouse has been transformed into a handsome hotel with understated contemporary furniture in the bedrooms and country-classic motifs such as farm implements hanging on the walls in the bar. From this charming spot you get a splendid view of San Gimignano's towers. Pros: Splendid views, quiet atmosphere, 10-minute walk to town. Cons: Furnishings a bit austere, there's an elevator for luggage but not for guests.
