San Gimignano hotel accommodation, Tuscany, Italy

Relais Santa Chiara Hotel, San Gimignano

Set in beautifully tended private grounds with views over the Tuscan countryside, the four-star Relais Santa Chiara Hotel offers supremely comfortable four-star accommodation close to the extraordinary medieval city of San Gimignano. Sometimes described as 'the medieval Manhattan', San Gimignano has a spectacular skyline pierced by 14 high towers which were built by rival nobles ... each trying to outdo the others by building the tallest one. The countryside all around is rolling and green and the cultural and artistic centres of Siena and Florence are just a short distance away, making this an ideal base for a visit to Tuscany.

This attractive hotel near San Gimignano has 41 splendid rooms, each with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, direct-dial telephone, cable/satellite TV, radio/alarm clock and a generous minibar. A fine buffet breakfast is included in the price of your room. Amenities include a delightful lounge/bar with a wide range of drinks, which guests are welcome to enjoy on the hotel's sunny terrace or in the wonderful shady garden. The garden includes a pretty outdoor play area for families to use and a lovely open-air pool with a heated hydro-massage tub. A range of massages and beauty treatments are available in the health spa and dozens of hiking and rambling trails can be found in the nearby hills. There is a 24-hour service on reception at this San Gimignano hotel, where guests can find a dry-cleaning and laundry service and safety-deposit boxes. There is a meeting room with internet access and photocopying facilities and parking is available.
