“quaint, nice room, historic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

My husband, sister and brother in law stayed here for one night in November 2012. We drove in from Florence and were just amazed at this town! The hotel was so clean and accommodating, but also historic. The name means old well, and you can go into the cellar of the hotel and look at the well.
The rooms were good size. Large bathrooms. Our room overlooked a beautiful courtyard. The breakfast, which was complimentary, was great! So many options. Best we had while in Italy. Parking very close by. Would stay again.

Thank you so much Ilana01 for taking the time to let us know, as well as our future Guests, how memorable was your stay at L'Antico Pozzo.
We are happy to know you found our breakfast outstanding, I shared your comment with everybody who take care of the buffet in the morning.
I also appreciate your remark about the parking whith which I agree with: it is indeed close and convenient being also served now by an elevator. Another bonus,finally, is payment by credit card for parking which should be activated very soon!
We all look forward to see you soon in San Gimignano
Warmest regards

5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

Fantastic hotel. November 2012 was our 2nd time at the hotel. 1st stay was 2002. Both occasions were for my wife’s Birthday – and we had a fabulous time.

The staff are attentive, and are happy to do all they can to make your stay enjoyable.

The feature rooms are incredible, the prices vary - so pick one that suits you budget.

Breakfast is a treat!!

No hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Room Tip: There are a number of feature rooms - which vary in price - check the website and pick the oen that...

“Delightful small hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

My wife and I stayed at Hotel L'Antico Pozzo for two nights in early November. We arrived by car after driving from Roma Fiumicino and followed the hotel's video instructions, making the drive into San Gimignano quite easy. We had reserved space in the garage, which is located next to a major public parking lot outside the town center. Although we didn't use the car during our short time in San Gimignano, it would have been easy to retrieve it for touring the countryside.

We had reserved a Petrarca double room and were given no. 10, which looked onto a courtyard. The room was simply furnished but fairly large and comfortable. The bathroom was modern, and all the facilities were meticulously clean. The breakfast buffet is generous, with fresh fruit, cereals, breads, and everything else we would have wanted. The hotel staff is courteous, friendly, and helpful. We were even given a recommendation of a restaurant in Orvieto, where we were staying later, and that restaurant was excellent.

The location of thehotel on the picturesque Via San Matteo is excellent for walking around the town. We'd stay there again on a anotehr visit to San Gimignano.

“Perfect Place to Enjoy San Gimignano”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

I am a single person who traveled throughout Italy for 10 weeks, and I can say the Hotel L'Antico Pozzo was one the nicest hotel/Bed & Breakfast's I stayed in. The hotel is perfectly located in San Gimignano, maybe a two minute walk to the town center, and the front desk was very professional.
It was a beautiful moment when I entered my room and opened the shutters, and the Tuscan countryside in all it's beauty was the view.

“Unbeatable location, charming rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

The good:
* The hotel is in a beautiful historic building in the historic centre of town
* The rooms are furnished with nice historic furniture
* Free wifi
* Friendly reception staff
* A range of different rooms sizes/prices
* A large range of breakfast items

The bad:
* I have nothing too bad to say about this hotel.

Overall:
This is a charming old hotel in the town of San Gimignano, which is a very beautiful hill town in Tuscany. I would definitely stay here again if I was ever in this area.
