Antica Dimora in San Gimignano, open June–November.
Antica Dimora stands apart as a working farmstead hotel that operates its own vineyard and olive groves, giving guests genuine access to Tuscan agricultural life rather than theatrical recreations.
This 4-star property in San Gimignano's countryside offers 40 individually decorated rooms within stone buildings dating to the 16th century, where wedding celebrations unfold against genuine rural landscapes.
The venue's dual focus—functioning as both a functional farm and hospitality destination—creates an authentic backdrop unavailable at purpose-built event spaces.
Absolutely loved our stay at Antica Dimora. Francesca was the most wonderful host, giving us a plethora of recommendations over the few days we were there. Booking us into a cooking class and organising breakfast for us too. Couldn’t recommend enough!
