Location is exceptional (especially as a "base" for touring Tuscany), breakfast was ok, the hotel and the rooms were very clean. Staff was nice and very helpful, although we had a hard time communicating in English (at the hotel restaurant mostly). Restaurant food was great as well as their local wine. Garden and hotel grounds are well maintained and beautiful but the proximity to a busy road takes away the feeling of being in nature.

A Tempting Tuscan Sun
San Gimignano, with the Italian sun glistening intently on its 14 remaining towers, cuts a dramatic figure from its position high on a Tuscan hill overlooking vineyards. However, it is when you get up-close-and-personal with this medieval-walled city and crane your neck to the blue sky that you truly appreciate its mesmerising beauty.
If you take away the swarming summer tourists circling the piazzas of San Gimignano, then this city offers you a wonderful trip back in time. The main square, Piazza della Cisterna, is surrounded by Romanesque buildings and Piazza del Duomo features Torre Grossa, the city’s tallest tower.

A trip to Tuscany must include San Gimignano! Highly recommend for its medieval charm, spectacular views and delicious food. It really feels like stepping back in time. It’s not public transport accessible and if you have limited time, hiring a car is the best way to go. Ample public parking is available as well.
We visited around late October so it wasn’t too busy compared to summer time and the weather was perfectly warm during the day and mild around dinner time. Light jacket only. It’s a photographer’s delight as there’s always a scenic opportunity as we turn a corner.
From SG we drove to Siena, another stunning city close by and not to miss! For lunch we were lucky enough to stumble upon a small multi-Routard recommended resto and it seriously did not disappoint. It’s called Osteria Nonna Gina di Lella e Dado. Some of the best pasta we’ve had in Emilia Romagna is here.
Also don’t miss the gelato at Gelateria Dondoli, they’ve won multiple awards and offer unique gelato flavours you really have to try.

If you’re in Tuscany, you have to visit San Giminiano.
If you’re in Tuscany, you have to visit San Giminiano. The city centre has a very special architecture and a lot of small shops and wineries. It’s the perfect place to spend a few days with your spouse. We had a wine tasting at Marronaia Winery, close to the city and we enjoyed it, but next time I would also try another winery, like Tenuta Torciano, which we tried a few months earlier. We ate a fantastic meal at ristorante Fuoriluogo, which I recommend strongly. I recommend staying as close as possible to the city, it’s a nice feeling that you can walk while admiring the sights.

I can't describe it, you have to be there, you have to see this miracle.
I recommend parking lots number 3 and 4, there is always space, the price is reasonable and you only have to walk for a few minutes, and there is also an elevator.

It is one of the most unique destinations in all of Europe. San Gimignano is a must-visit when in Tuscany. Its medieval appearance whisks you back in time and one can easily transform the tourists to locals bringing their food to market. High-quality restaurants and a world-champion gelateria, what is not to fall in love with. Leave your healed shoes at home and wear comfortable footwear as the streets, side streets and shops are far from smooth, but this is just part of the experience

We stayed in late September, the weather was amazing and the city not to crowded. I would fully recommend staying in the exceptional hill top town which in the evenings as the crowds go home is the perfect place to eat and relax.

You can explore the Torre Grossa and a couple of other sites with one pass, there's excellent pasta (you will smell the ragù while you explore in the afternoon!) and aperitivi for just a few euros, plenty of places to cool off with gelato, and the view over Tuscany from the Torre and the Rocca are spectacular.
The town in miniature is also worth your time. And be sure to have a glass of Vernaccia, the local white wine!
it is close to San Gimignano! great location to travel to siena, firenze all chianti area. the panoramic view was really impressive and beautiful. i could stay there all day looking at the view. the breakfast was great. (italian breakfast with bread, cheese, ham, fruits..) all the staff was very welcoming and inviting. helped us with nearby reservations. we were a bit busy traveling siena and San Gimignano. but we wish we could stay longer to experience pools and relax and enjoy the agriturismo! everything was great and we hope to comeback.

Big room, quiet and one of the best views we’ve ever had from a hotel room. Perfect view of the San Gimignano skyline with the vineyards in the foreground. Unforgettable. Breakfast and dinner excellent too especially with the Mormoraia wine! Staff very friendly and helpful. Something as simple as bring your bags to your room and parking your car for you goes such a long way after a long journey. Grazie Mile!
Leon Bianco is an extremely nice, clean and a most comfortable hotel perfectly located facing Piazza della Cisterna, the main central square of San Gimignano. It has friendly and helpful staff and is very nicely appointed and decorated in a modern, yet traditional, style. Abundant restaurants, cafes and bars are all located just short walks from the hotel, as are numerous shops. Great value-for-money!
Absolutely gorgeous choice for Tuscany and nearby San Gimignano. The family and their puppy were lovely to us and we enjoyed the winery tour and tasting. Breakfast each morning was quaint with stunning views. The apartment was gorgeous with roses leading up to the door, and the master bedroom had incredible views. Better if you have a rental car here to explore nearby towns-which luckily we did.
The place ist not far away from the city.
The host ist really fantastico. We came a little late, but he was still awaiting us. in the morning we had an tasty breakfast with best Italian cappuccino.
we got a lot of interesting hints, witch place to visit what’s around. perfect
our host alway looks how to let us feel good.
one of the best stays in Italy, full recommendation.
thank you!
Best experience during our vacation in Italy! Unfortunately we only spent one night here, but we will definitely come back. We liked the clean rooms, terrace with a view, gym, spa, tennis court, outdoor pool and exceptional service. Special thanks goes to Juri our waiter during dinner and lunch. Special diets were considered well.
A wonderful location with a beautiful view of San gimigano. Barbara was so lovely and welcoming. The pool has the best view. A traditional, delicious Italian breakfast each morning and chatting with other guests was wonderful. Spotlessly clean. If I'm ever back in Italy, I'm definitely coming back to Barbara's!
Everything about this place is special (e.g., location, breakfast, yard, etc.). But what makes this establishment truly extraordinary is the warmth and kindness of the hosts: Mauro, Almerinta, and the immensely charming Francesca. Hospitality unmatched in my month-long travel throughout Italy.
The property is in an idyllic location set in the countryside of Tuscany near San Gimignano (10 min drive). The property was lovely! The apartment was immaculate and charming. The kitchen had all the essentials for our group of 4 adults, and the bathroom was modern and shower very nice!
Beautiful setting, great pool and friendly, helpful staff. Spacious family room with 2 shower rooms. Free shuttle bus to San Gimignano. Lovely dinner in the courtyard. The lady at the bar (I think her name is Giusy) makes the best Aperol Spritz in Italy!!
The owners are the most friendly people we've met in whole Italy and the room was very big, nice, clean and the view from the apartment was absolutely amazing. Breakfast was delicous and better than in most hotels. We would reccomend it to everyone.
Stunning setting close to San Gimignano, overlooking the property vineyards in picturesque township. Rooms were modern luxury with asthetic finish out. The staff was excellent, especially our host Silvia. Great small town to explore.
We liked the views, the size of the apartment, the location near San Gimignano and the hills, the decoration and the kids liked the pool a lot. The host is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very nice.
Great place to stay for a visit to San Gimignano. 10 minutes walk from the old town. The Villa has a nice surrounding, with pool, tables , chairs etc. The view is great. Breakfast was ok. Big parking place.
Great location (beautiful walk into San Gimignano), beautiful pool, decent workout room, and exceptional staff. A nice surprise was the restaurant, where we had the best meal of our entire trip to Italy!
Staff was very hospitable and welcoming, always smiling. The property is well located near San Gimignano however you must take transportation to move around the area. It is a nice place.
Everything was way above our expectations. Staying at Fattoria San Donato was the highlight of our trip in Italy. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends.
The views are amazing and the staff is wonderful. The breakfast is the best I’ve had in Italy, and the wine tour/tasting was great. Would definitely come back.
