    Great traditional home and experience of the Tuscany region

    We’ve been to many apartments and hotels but the hosts from this house made the stay one of the most memorable and beautifull experiences we’ve had so far. The room was cleaned every the day (towels were all exchanged) and also the sheets were exchanged every 3 days. The house has a very nice style to it (a certain classical style) and all facilities in the room were renewed every day (personally selected wine in the room, glasses were cleaned, crackers that go with the wine, all regular stuff like toilet paper, soap, etc.) so the whole booking was a very pleasent stay. The best part of the apartment were the hosts who recommended the great wineries of the region, tours and places to visit in Tuscany (also recommended we go to a certain wine festival in San Gimignano which is a 5min walk from the apartment), made us a breakfast-to-go when we couldn’t make it to breakfast (which was lovely, a very traditional Italian breakfast), and most importantly are great people who you can talk to about Italy in general and anything else wish to know. I would definitelly recommend this place to anyone looking for a traditional Italian home type of a vibe and who wants to have personal connection to the Italian traditions of the Tuscany region.

    Everything was perfect.

    Beautiful family home, surrounded by Roberto’s paintings. Several personal touches - crackers, water, toiletries. A very warm welcome from the Viani family. They gave us excellent recommendations for lunch and dinner and willingly shared their knowledge of places to visit in Tuscany. A short walk into San Gimignano.

    We had a wonderful stay at this location run by a very special family who will make you feel at home away from home. My husband and I traveled with my 70 year old parents and our 2 small children and the accommodation was perfect for us. We traveled by car and drove to San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, and Florence as well as a trip to the Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery. The location was extremely quiet and comfortable with a large, delicious breakfast. Absolutely wonderful stay!

    Breakfast could be a little better and the ability to control the speed of the aircon in each room would be nice.

    The location with its views were spectacular, the atmosphere and setup of the building was wonderful. Not crowded was really nice and getting to know the owners was really special.

    Locanda Viani is located in an excellent position, you can reach San Gimignano on foot in approximately 15 minutes whilst also enjoying the quiet of the countryside and the view is really breathtaking. The B&B is clean and comfortable and, whilst being a historical building, everything is new and functional. At breakfast, you can enjoy local products and fresh bread. Roberto and his wife are incredibly kind and attentive hosts. During our staying, the AC broke and they immediately arranged our staying at another lovely accomodation, so that our holiday wouldn't be disrupted by the excessive heat. Despite the AC problem, our holiday has been great and I definitely recommend Locanda Viani for your staying.

    Nothing all amazing

    The Viani Family are the warmest of hosts. They make you feel so welcome and are on hand if you need anything. The rooms are beautiful with gorgeous artwork from Roberto Viani. He is so modest that we did not know he had painted them. Mrs Viani makes the most wonderful breakfasts and cakes. We loved our time there. Thank you all so much x

    Licanda Viani is a very special place. The family are so welcoming and kind, it's rare to meet such people. The location is wonderful, a short stroll into the very heart of San Gimignano, yet it's peaceful and quiet with extraordinary views. A truly wonderful experience

    There are lots of up and down stairs which is expected in beautiful century old buildings.

    The location was terrific with a short walk into the walled town of San Gimignano. Having a car park close and easy drives getting around the region visiting other beautiful Tuscan towns was great. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We liked the Tuscan breakfasts and enjoyed the evenings on our balcony overlooking San Gimignano and the countryside.

    I have been to Tuscany many times and I dare to say that Roberto Viani and his charming family are one of the best hosts in Tuscany. They are kind and helpful, Paola prepares a delicious breakfast. The only reason I don't write more good things is because next time we won't get accommodation because of the crowd :) Values, tradition, Art and good wine.
