Hotel Vecchio Asilo in San Gimignano, open June–November.
Perched in the heart of San Gimignano's medieval hilltop, Hotel Vecchio Asilo commands sweeping views across the Tuscan countryside and the town's iconic 14 towers.
Stone walls and terracotta rooftops frame ceremonies and receptions with centuries-old backdrop.
The property combines intimate spaces with accommodation for guests within its restored historic structure.
Stayed here two nights in September. The good- Nice rooms, with good a/c, stunning views, big shower, good, typical breakfast, clean, friendly staff. The bad, If you are mobility limited, do not stay here, everywhere are stairs without hand rails or ramps , and I mean they are everywhere. They sell sodas and wine at the hotel, but no beer. Not everyone can drink wine. The staff said that since the are associated with the winery, the beer would be competition. Also, to get into your room, or the front door, you have to use a nine digit code! This is a bit excessive if you ask me, I only use a 4 digit code to get into my bank vault! Although, it is a nice hotel, I will not stay here again due to the difficulty walking through the hotel.
