The location of this hotel is very convenient. The veiw is great (if you are lucky enough to get a room with a view, we were not... which we had requested.) The hotel was very clean, but from reception to departure the staff was anything but friendly.( with the exception of Monica ). Any request was met with disdain, from... more

This was our second stay at the Relais Santa Chiara hotel. We last stayed 11 years ago and fortunately the hotel lived up to our expectations second time around. The location overlooking the Tuscan countryside is idyllic. The small garden and pool area are very relaxing and peaceful. Despite the hotel being busy we never felt crowded in by fellow... more

The service was excellent - all the staff are pleasant and keen to please - nothing is too much trouble for them. The airconditioned rooms are large and well sound-proofed and the facilities are of high quality finish and well maintained. The uninterrupted views are across the hotel garden and pool, towards the distant hills. The hotel is located just... more

We spent five night here and found the hotel ideal for our needs. We wanted a place outside the walled town of San Gimignano but within an easy walk of the town's amenities. The hotel is spotless and well staffed. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the bar snacks. The lack of a restaurant for evening meals is not a... more

The rooms although spotlessly clean are very tired and in need of refurbishment. The hotel lets itself down by charging extra for just about everything including $3 euro per 30 min charges to use the internet in the foyer.... more

The hotel has a unique family feel with top quality rooms, service... more

Lovely hotel, although the rooms are a bit dated. Nice view of the Tuscan countryside, and great location right near San Gimignano. Lovely to have breakfast outside by the pool. Good road access to all the sights of Tuscany. more

Forget the poor reviews about this hotel. It was wonderful! All of the staff were lovely, but especially the reception staff. They really couldn't do enough to help. They organised taxis for us, gave us advice for buses and day trips and local shops and all with a big smile and a promise that they'd do whatever they could to... more

First of all the location of the hotel could not be bettered. The views of the Tuscan countryside from our rear facing bedroom, the terrace and pool were quite simply stunning. The hotel is spotless and the staff are friendly, professional, attentive but unobtrusive. The room was very clean and cosy with linen and towels changed daily. The pool area... more
