THE IDEAL LOCATION OF A 3 STAR HOTEL IN SAN GIMIGNANO TUSCANY
San Gimignano is a World Heritage site and is accessible to everyone.
On any given day one can find, beneath the towers and in its streets a true reflection of the wider world, in the faces and the voices you will encounter here.
Hotel L’Antico Pozzo is centrally located along via San Matteo, within the ancient walls of the medieval old town, in the less congested part of town, away from the daily crowd.
The hotel affords you a front row seat from which to enjoy the architecture of San Gimignano with immediate access to its streets, piazzas and churches.
After the hustle and bustle of the day, evenings in San Gimignano are quieter, more grown up, and its wonderful restaurants are more accessible. After dinner you can stroll among the centuries old stones, imagining a quieter, less pressured time, immersed in the changing light and evening air.
Returning to the hotel and your beautiful room, you can sink into bed and drift off to sleep, dreaming of the wonderful, new experiences of the day, and the promise of discovery to follow. The very best of San Gimignano memories.
A MAGICAL BALANCE
Hotel L’Antico Pozzo has 18 charateristic rooms, giving guests a wonderful harmony of authentic, historic, Tuscan interiors and modern necessity.
Sitting comfortably in the elegant, conservative soul of San Gimignano, which gradually releases its charm and treasures. A distant soul, of merchants and commerce, but with familiar piazzas, towers, fortified walls and distinct churches.
Thanks to skilled restoration many of the original features, including some important frescoes, of this palazzo have been saved – protected by the Sovrindenza delle Belle Arti, the Italian equivalent of English Heritage. You are entering into the charm and elegance of a stately home, not only a hotel.
There are further steps down to forgotten passages and cellars where you can still discover ancient fragments of pottery, all providing excitement and mystery for an unforgettable and romantic getaway in historic San Gimignano.
