Baglioni <BR>San Gimignano - Leon Bianco <BR>Venice - Luna Baglioni or Giorgione <BR> <BR>Thanks. <BR> <BR>

We haven't stayed at the Leon Bianco but it has an excellent location--right on the main square and if my memory serves me right, it has a parking garage which is an incredible plus (assuming you have a car, of course!!!) I would not worry at all about noise in SG--after the daytrippers leave it is quite quiet. <BR> <BR>We have stayed at La Cisterna and Antico Pozzo in SG and were very happy at both.

Here are some comments: <BR> <BR>- Rome: hotel Savoy. I spent quite a few sleepless nights (or early wake-ups) at this hotel as it is very noisy (street noise and internal noise). Unless they refurbished the place and made it really sound-proof... <BR> <BR>- Venice : Giorgione is a nice hotel (Italian 4 star, i.e. regular first class)and is located 5 mn from Rialto bridge (their garden is a plus in summer), while the Luna Baglioni is more a Luxury hotel located just next to San Marco. Prices should be quite different too. <BR> <BR>- Florence : I went to the Grand Hotel Baglioni just for a business lunch and their restaurant offers a wonderful view over the Duomo (food was good too), but I cannot advise about rooms. Anyway the location is very good.

We stayed at the Leon Bianco in SG, and liked it very much. The garage was indeed a plus, but it was funny as the man would have to go out and juggle all the cars each day. It has a narrow entrance which is blocked by the last couple of cars which have to be backed out into the square --maybe sometimes as many as 5 or 6 cars total to get to yours, but they do it with a smile, and they handle the parking for you. The room and service was wonderful there.
