Lodging in Tuscany: 3 star hotel San Gimignano

Situated in a delightful position just 2 km from the towers of the historical town of San Gimignano, the HOTEL SOVESTRO complex stretches horizontally across a vast park of pine trees, coasted by vineyards, olive trees and luxuriant Tuscan and Mediterranean vegetation.

The hospitality proposed by HOTEL SOVESTRO is the refined and characteristic hospitality of local tradition, with a vocation for art, nature and participation of the whole family in the running of the hotel, which is so apparent in the history, the people and profile of these hills.

Here - thanks to the industrious professionalism of the staff and the constant presence of the proprietors, Alfredo, Sergio and Lucia Failli, with their daughters - your stay will be characterised by the very best in terms of relaxation.

All the flavour and colour of a territory which has been generous with humanity since the time of the Etruscans, the great medieval pilgrimages and the Renaissance remains unchanged...

This part of the province of Sienna is a welcoming land, to which HOTEL SOVESTRO, with its comforts and top level hotel facilities, adds a special touch which combines, modern and functional settings with respect for traditional living, with plain but elegant furnishings.

The building materials used include open brickwork, tiles, valuable woods and curtain fabrics and evoke the warm atmosphere of the farmhouses of yesteryear! Everything here is visibly oriented towards satisfying the various needs of guests, at whatever time of year they choose to stay here.

Meeting halls
The indoor spaces for common use, such as the conciergerie, the hall, corridors, cocktail-bar and breakfast room, are all flooded brightly with natural light thanks to the presence of large windows, and are integrated with a secluded and evocatively furnished room used for meetings or banquets, which has a large terrace-garden which overlooks an incomparably beautiful view.

Swimming pools
An indispensable component of any relaxing holiday is the aquatic element. This is available in the HOTEL SOVESTRO complex in the form of two fair sized swimming pools set in a reserved and sunny position.

The facilities of HOTEL SOVESTRO are an appreciable aspect of the treatment reserved for guests and also guaranteed to disabled guests thanks to the residential structure which is free from architectonic barriers. These facilities range from the spacious parking area, shaded by the foliage of pine trees, easy access to the swimming pools and the practical laundry room, to the most intangible, courteous and discreet attention of all our staff, prepared to supply any kind of assistance and information on the facilities available in the neighbourhood.

Both the amenities of the surrounding hilly countryside and the proximity to cities of art of the calibre of San Gimignano, Sienna, Certaldo or Volterra strongly encourage walking excursions and cultural trips of all kinds. In the vicinity of HOTEL SOVESTRO, it is also possible to perform the following activities: trekking, mountain-bike and motorcycle hire, tennis, golf, horse-riding...
