“Lovely Surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

We had a fabulous stay at here for two nights in the middle of November. We were a little uncertain about whether or not we'd chosen the right town for a transition spot between our travels in southern Tuscany and our ultimate departure from Pisa airport, but we were delighted with both the town and the hotel. Our room was spacious, modern and very comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic. Reception was warm and hepful, and the sitting area in the lobby nice and comfortable. We treated ourselves to the spa -- a massage for me and just the wellness path option for my husband -- and it was probably the best relaxing massage I've ever had. Very close to San Gimignano, where we went for dinner one evening.

The town itself is beautiful, with the upper and lower historical town centers. It's an easy walk from the hotel (which is right by the beautiful, rounded old city gates) to the crystal elevator which takes you to the lower town.

We also found the hotel very reasonably priced, as it was low season and we prepaid for the room. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

“A gem of a hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012 via mobile

Palazzo San Lorenzo was one of the nicest hotel we've stayed in! Quiet, excellent location, lovely service.
Great value. We wish we could have stayed longer. After a full day of traveling around the Tuscany region it was wonderful to come back to the hotel, parking was a pleasure - they have a little lot walking distance from the hotel. Wonderful restaurants also walking distance and a lovely breakfast buffet in the hotel. A wonderful experience!

“Wonderful experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

Hotel Palazzo San Lorenzo is an absolutely beautiful, sleekly-modern, spotless facility! Great breakfast buffet is included with the room. The town is lovely and it is also in a particularly beautiful part of Tuscany. it is very close to many other charming hilltop towns as well. We would love to stay there again.

“We loved staying in this Palazzo!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

The way between San Gimignano and this amazing Hotel is one of that things that you think "how is good being alive to see how awesome is the world". And I have no words to describe the staff, the room, the medieval atmosphere, everything, I´m sure we´ll return to this fantastic place. Nowadays, I would book this Hotel with my eyes closed.

“Smart comfortable hotel, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

We had a short stay here in October, and would happily recommend this hotel as a place to stay when touring the area.

The hotel is located on a narrow road in the upper part of the old town. There is room outside to briefly park a car to unload, then the car park is round the corner, outside the old town wall, a very short walk away.

The hotel has been fitted out in an elegant contemporary style, that is quite smart. I personally enjoy and feel comfortable with this style, but if you are looking for a rustic Tuscan style, this isn't the place for you.

The room was certainly spacious enough for us and our 2 small children (we booked a triple room) and the main bed was very large. There was adequate wardrobe and storage space, and the bathroom was spotless and well appointed.

From the window, we had a view over charming adjoining houses built into the town wall, over their lovely tiled roofs, with San Giminiano framed beautifully in the distance (only a few kilometres drive away).

Colle Val d'Elsa is a small pretty unspoilt town, surrounded by stunning countryside. It is a convenient base to tour Florence, Sienna and the surrounding region.
