Hotel Sovestro

THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THE REALITY OF ITALY. I RECOMMEND

酒店地理位置非常優越，駕車去很好找，也很靠近San Gimignano城，走在去老城的小路上，風景非常美麗，充分體現託斯卡納風光獨特的自然環境。

酒店在基安蒂，周圍都是葡萄園，秋季風光應該更美麗。周圍幾十公里有許多村子風景也不錯。早餐還不錯，咖啡好喝，甜點比較多，奶酪很多種。歐式早餐。

We were lucky enough to stay for 4 nights at the end of August. What a find, our third trip to San Gimignano although we loved the other places we’ve stayed this hotel has gone straight to No.1 It is a little out of town but don’t let that put you off, we’d never walked down the Via Vecchia on previous trips. … wow ! What a photo opportunity of San Gimignano. The hotel provides a shuttle, a quick 5 min drive up to the town, as most have mentioned in other reviews it is easier to walk back.. the via Vecchia is a great Road / path to walk with photo opportunities along the way, need a torch in the evenings but very little traffic and feels safe. The Hotel, I echo the reviews that it is immaculate, the maids clean everyday, rooms and all parts of the hotel until early afternoon. Also groundsman and pool man. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, this family owned hotel has got the right balance of a medium size hotel whilst maintaining a welcoming, personal service. Restaurant- we’re lucky to visit Italy at least once a year, in 15 years this is the best breakfast in Italy, buffet is plentiful, the best coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. I’m gluten free and didn’t miss out, they make their own gluten free bread rolls which were the best I’ve tasted. We ate in the restaurant one night, delicious home cooked Tuscan cuisine, again my gluten free needs were accommodated without question. The grounds, a little mini oasis amongst the olive and cypress trees, two lovely pool areas. We had room 55 on the countryside side of the hotel and it was stunning come rain or shine. Finally we arranged through the hotel for my husband to have a guided cycle ride through Chianti with ex professional cyclist, Daniele Righi. If you’re a keen cyclist book him, my husband loved it, best experience. When we’re next in San Gimignano we will be booking Hotel Sovestro.

Having waited since before lockdown to experience Tuscany, we were not disappointed with our chosen hotel. Hotel Sovestro is a hidden gem and one we can't wait to return to. We had a magical 10 days. Even before we arrived we knew we had made a good choice as response to emails was prompt and made us feel really looked after. On arrival and throughout our holiday, every member of staff was extremely friendly and eager to please; nothing was too much of a problem and we were always greeted with a warm 'Buongiorno!' What we loved: ...the hotel's calm and relaxing atmosphere. There is a gentle hum of busyness throughout the day with quiet chatter (in lots of different languages) and the *****ing of glasses - but nothing to disturb our peace. ...the hotel's facilities, they are spot-on. The two pools have different features that give you the impression that you are in two different hotels. The poolside bar/snacks service was perfect and always delivered with a smile. The secure car park is large so we never struggled to park the car. The free shuttle bus was great - with 5 runs a day, (really helpful when faced with a hill in the heat!) ... Ristorante da Pode. We ate in the restaurant twice and were so impressed with our meals - all home-cooked Tuscan food that was perfectly presented and - again - served with a smile. We particularly loved the 'sheep's cheese pudding' and the tomato bruschetta. I think we could easily eaten there every night if we hadn't wanted to also eat out in neighbouring towns. A wonderful touch came on our 25th Wedding Anniversary, when the hotel staff gave us a treat with our meal. A lovely surprise. ...our room, it was a triple with patio, (me, my husband and our 16 year old). It was plenty big enough as the patio gave us extra space. The beds were so comfy, with crisp white linen and perfect pillows. The air-conditioning was a dream as temperatures reached 34 degrees outside. We hadn't expected a fridge and safe but both were welcome additions! ...the hotel's breakfast! What can we say! All carefully prepared with a wide variety of options from scrambled egg to hams & cheeses, from fruit and muesli to freshly baked pasties and cakes. Not forgetting the freshly squeezed orange juice (oh how we are missing it!) and coffee that hit the spot. It was a highlight of our day to sit on the sunny terrace in the morning, planning our trips whilst filling our tummies. Just perfect. ...the hotel is immaculately kept. All areas of the hotel are spotless without any signs of wear and tear. The Failli family and their team obviously work very hard to maintain high standards for their guests. ... the hotel's location. Wow. San Gimignano is now a firm favourite, with its tall towers and rustic squares. Unforgettable. Climb the Torre Grossa - what a view! There's plenty of parking around the edges of the town but getting there before 10.30am makes this easier - it takes 5 mins to drive. The town is linked to the hotel by a gravel farm tra

We had a great experience at the Sovestro. The rooms were very nice and the hotel staff was so helpful with any questions or requests. We walked to town our first night because it was too late to take the shuttle. It was quite a walk there, but much easier walk back! The breakfast served each morning was extensive and delicious….especially the orange juice….so fresh and good! Great way to start the day! This was a great home base for visiting Tuscany but really requires having a car as it is somewhat remote, which is what makes it so charming. 2 of our 3 days here were rainy so we could not take advantage of the lovely terraces and pools, but would 100% stay here again!

The best experience. An amazing location. You feel at home. The room is spacious and clean. The owners are all a family and they take care of everything. They are always welcoming, helpful and very friendly. The breakfast was great with a wide choice of food for all tastes. Definitely a recommendation.

Very peaceful. Excellent location - easy access to San Gimignano and perfect for trips to some wonderful Tuscan villages and towns. Friendly and helpful staff, good quality buffet breakfast, comfortable rooms and great shower (with soap etc. provided). The restaurant serves very good food.
