Hotel La Collegiata, San Gimignano

Hotel La Collegiata, San Gimignano - named after the ancient city's most important church, this San Gimignano hotel lies about a few kilometres north west of the town itself. It's a magnificent setting for your vacation in Tuscany - originally a Franciscan convent, and built in 1587, this superb structure overlooks the heart of Chianti wine country. A beautiful and very stylish building and setting.

And the delights continue within, with rooms furnished in a style reflecting the Renaissance palazzi of Siena. The bedrooms are located in the old cloister and the top floor rooms look upon the towers of San Gimignano itself. But if suffused with antique charm, this San Gimignano hotel has all the modern comforts too. There is a lovely swimming pool, set alongside the Italianate garden opposite the old building. Created in the sober yet warm tones of pietra serena stone, this garden beautifully reflects the proportions and shapes of the Tuscan Renaissance building. And nearby San Gimignano, with its superb churches, towers, galleries, defensive walls - and the sheer beauty of the town itself - is within easy reach.

There are 20 rooms and a suite at this San Gimignano hotel, all quite unique, all in individual colours. Rooms feature minibar, bathroom, safe, satellite TV, telephone, air conditioning, work desk and hairdryer. Services at the hotel include currency exchange, WiFi internet access, cycle hire, and jacuzzi and massage services. There is a buffet breakfast served each morning (in the garden during the summertime), and of fresh local produce.
