WoW! What a magnificent three days we spent in this beautiful apartment in centre of San Gimignano. Our host Benedetta was so wonderful. She thought of everything and made us feel very welcomed. We could not have imagined a better experience in this medieval town and breathtaking countryside in the middle of Tuscany!

Great property next door to the Piazza del Duomo. Many, many places to eat and shop nearby. The property owner was a lifesaver when my husband developed acute bronchitis. She helped us find a doctor and even made an appointment within a short walking distance. Thanks so much Bernadetta!

Thorough enjoyed our stay. Apartment is perfect for long weekends. We stayed four nights and were quite pleased. The location is right in the square so close to everything. The apartment is clean and nicely done. Benedetta met us on arrival and explained everything, she is one of the nicest hosts we’ve encountered. We highly recommend her apartment.

Charming!
San Gimignano is delightful and our VRBO couldn’t have been any better. Benedetta was so kind and helpful, the apartment was perfectly located and appointed. And she even helped us maneuver our car into town to unload and then provided a garage close by to store our rental car. We had everything we needed for a lovely stay and would highly recommend the apartment.

Heart of San Gimignano
This 2-bedroom apartment is right next to the church in the center of San Gimignano. I loved walking out the door and being near the shops and restaurants. The Friday morning market set up just below our windows. We found it helpful to close the windows and shutters at night to block the early morning street noise. The king-size bed was super comfortable and the rooms had plenty of storage space. Benedetta met us at the parking lot just outside the city wall and led us to our rooms. She explained how to use everything including the washer, gas cooktop, and coffee pot. She gave us suggestions for parking in Florence and mentioned favorite wines and local restaurants. My husband and I enjoyed having extra space in both a large living room and second bedroom. The only difficult part of our stay was the narrow bathroom. It was hard for two adults to be in the small space together. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful return to our first date!!
This trip to San Gimignano was a return to the location of our first date 13 years ago. The apartment was cozy and well appointed with everything you would need. The owner is very helpful and sweet: beware there are two flights of stairs up to the apartment but we needed the exercise and it is well worth the effort. Highly recommend this rental,

Beautiful balcony vista apartment in the heart of town
The property was a lovely quaint old style Italian apartment with a beautiful shared balcony view to the West. The downside was the water heater/supply, and the use of converters for every European appliance. There is really only enough instant hot water for 2 very quick showers per a 2 hour time period. The location and convenience was excellent. Benedetta speaks English excellently and is a delight.

Fabulous location and wonderful host!
We stayed for 2 weeks. The accommodations were wonderful. Beautiful views from the rear and front of apartment. The apartment is located in the center of the town. Lots of shops and wonderful restaurants. Our host was helpful with recommendations and for translating our wish for taxi's to the train station. The train is wonderful. Trips to Florence, Cinque Terre and Venice were easy. The bus is also right outside the walled city. The apartment has a washing machine which was very helpful on our long stay. I hung clothes out on the line which I hadn't done since I was a little girl helping my grandmother! The apartment also has an oven and a 4 burner cooktop if you are so inclined. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location and great host
We had stayed in San Gimignano 20 years ago and wanted to see if it was as beautiful as we remembered. It was. The Vernacchia wine, pecorino cheeses, and meats were still fantastic. The town has gotten extremely crowded, especially about 10:00 when many people arrive by buses and the streets are jammed. This place was nice as it was just off the main square and it was easy to get up and enjoy the town in the mornings and late at evening when there were far less people around. Our host was very nice and quick to respond to all communications. She met us at the property and also at another bed and breakfast her family owns. She is very professional and apartment was clean and neat.

Amazing. Beautiful city. Wonderful host. Incredible location. We loved it!
My wife and I and our two teenage children spent a week in this beautiful apartment in the heart of San Gimignano - you couldn’t ask for a better location. The host is super kind, responsive and helpful. The apartment was clean and more than we had expected. There’s a lovely balcony with a view of the Tuscan hillsides. The kitchen was extremely convenient for those days when we wanted to try our hand at cooking with local ingredients. On Thursday there was an amazing food and goods market right outside the apartment. Fresh everything! After a week, we really felt like we experienced “life in Tuscany”. The food, wine, culture - everything was wonderful. Highly recommend this apartment and this city. Thanks to you Benedetta for all your help and travel recommendations!

Right where you want to be!
We could not have been happier with our stay! Location ...location...location in the best area in Tuscany. Benedetta was a wonderful host with patience as we were a bit delayed getting out of Rome airport. San Gimignano was such a great place to walk, shop, and the restaurants recommended by Benedetta were great! It took a bit to learn the access points to drive in to the location and back out but that became part of the fun! We will be back! Jim - Connecticut

A Wonderful and Memorable Stay!
The apartment was charming with original designs and furnishings and had everything we needed. Benedetta was very helpful in getting us settled in the apartment. Benedetta waited for us outside the scheduled arrival time and helped us navigate San Gimignano to the apartment. She answered every inquiry we had. The apartment was beautiful and perfectly situation in the best town in Tuscany. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A Wonderful Place
My friend and I recently spent 6 days and 5 nights at Borgo Antico and we had a terrific experience. Guiliana was the best hostess and the apartment was impeccable and as described. She was gracious and informative and made us feel welcome in San Gimignano. (And Guiliana was particularity helpful when we locked ourselves out of the apartment!) The location of the apartment could not have been better - just across from the duomo at the edge of one of the popular squares of the town. Thank you Guiliana for making our visit so enjpoyable! I highly recommend Borgo Antico to anyone!

Excellent!
This house completely covers all your day to day needs. Clean, great furniture, appliances, beautifully decorated. The scenery is just beautiful, great restaurants, stores within walking distance. Mrs. Guilliana is a great owner, she immediately responded to any question or needs we may have had. We felt like if we were at our own home. And she also gave us advice on where to go. If any one wants to have a great stay in Tuscany, this house is perfect. Personally I want to thank Guilliana for making our stay in Borgo Antico so great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay in this charming apartment. The location was perfectly central to the town. A little noisy because of concerts on the square, but so convenient to enjoying everything else that San Gimignano has to offer. Benedetta was so kind, and helpful in getting us settled in the apartment. Would thoroughly recommend this flat as a home base for exploring this region of Tuscany.

Super Unterkunft, perfekte Lage, sympatische Vermieterin
Wir haben das Appartement für 3 Übernachtungen gebucht. Die Wohnung war gemütlich eingerichtet, super gelegen und bestens ausgestattet. Die Möglichkeit die Garage zu mieten können wir nur empfehlen. Preislich mit 10 Euro proTag auch vollkommen in Ordnung. Die Vermieterin Benedetta steht immer für Fragen bereit und kann einem gute Tipps für einen Restaurantbesuch etc. geben. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und waren hoffentlich nicht das letzte mal in San Gimignano.
