Villa Sonnino in San Miniato, open June–September.
Perched on the rolling hills of Tuscany near San Miniato, Villa Sonnino commands views across cypress-lined valleys and medieval town rooftops from its Renaissance estate.
The villa's stone façade and manicured grounds sit at elevation, offering sweeping panoramas of the Arno Valley that shift with golden hour light.
This 4-star hotel venue marries historic architecture with contemporary hospitality on 8 hectares of Tuscan countryside.
Very well located. You can go around Tuscany and be based in Villa Sonnino. The people are just amazing. The hotel is family run and everyone is lovely. The restaurant is very good. The breakfast was a little disappointing, and no pool with the 40 plus degrees in August. The family rooms are spacious and with AC.
