Hi Terri! We've stayed at Relais Santa Chiara and Hotel San Michele. Totally different worlds. Santa Chiara is more resort-like and VERY close to town; San Michele is an average 3-star and a bit farther away. What time of year, and what are you looking for? <BR> <BR>Ciao, Jan.

Hi Terry, <BR>In my experience Albergo Le Colline is better than Hotel Vecchio Asilo, but it is difficult to find a room.If you need an help there is a girl Catherina who has worked there and has helped me. E-mail [email protected]

Dear Terry, <BR>We stayed at a beautiful place about 5 minutes away from San Gimignano (if you have a car). It was beutiful! If I remember correctly we paid around 100 dollars. I think it was called Hotel Pescile. I could look it up if you are interested. Let me know on this thread. <BR>Donna

Did you try L'Antico Pozzo in town? We stayed there and it is a beautiful hotel on the main street. <BR> <BR>http://www.anticopozzo.com/

None of the hotels in San Gim are available - this is for September - this is what I'm finding available: <BR>Hotel Santa Chiara <BR>Hotel Da Graziano <BR>Hotel Le Colline <BR>I guess the first 2 are within walking distance to town which is nice - but I can't tell how nice Da Graziano is (cheaper than Santa Chiara)

We also stayed at the Hotel Pescille a few years ago, liked it very much. Found it after it was featured on CN Traveler magazine's Room with a View page -- our terrace had a wonderful view across vineyards to the towers of San Gimignano, a short drive away. It was quiet and comfortable, with good service. Price was reasonable as I recall -- had a lovely garden with pool, set amongst vineyards. There was also a very nice restaurant. We would definitely stay there again.

The Santa Chiara is right outside one of the town's medieval gates; a few minutes walk. I don't think you can get any closer without being inside the town; it's not necessary in this case because SG is not a very big town; much smaller than Siena and more like Montepulciano. Very nice place with friendly staff and a view overlooking a valley; front driveway at night looked like a Mercedes showroom.
