Great hotel in San Gimignano that is on the main road but away from the entrance most tourists come into town through. Excellent service.

One of our rooms was very pretty with Frescos. Beat cellar with old well. AC was very poor and rooms were uncomfortably warm (July trip) at night. Also, no clear instructions about arrival and we carried our luggage all the way up hill. It turns out, one can drive!

Thank you for your feedback , we are happy you enjoyed the historical caracter and original frescoes of your room. Our air conditioned system is regularly working and we regret not be promptly informed to assist you to check and set the unit in your room for a comfortable sleep. We are available 24hours and it is always disappointing when we are not given immediately the opportunity to address eventual issues to guarantee a very pleasant stay to our guests and not receive an avoidable negative comment . All our guests are allowed to drive to the front of the hotel to unload and load your luggage 24/24 , then the car must then be parked in one of the parkings just outside the walls about 300-400 meters walk: free parking are also available near by. An elevator is available from parking lot to walk back to the hotel. We recommend all our guests to read and follow detailed instructions received with confirmation email. Also, an automatic sending of an extra message with parking info is active on Expedia after received your confirmation. It is also very useful to watch our youtube video available on our web site or just googling "driving to hotel antico pozzo" We are also available 24hours over the phone and whatsapp for any assistance to get to the hotel We thank you for being our guest and look forward to welcome you at L'Antico Pozzo Emanuele

The property is quaint and quite lovely and the staff very polite. My main complaint was with the poor air conditioning during the heat wave in June. The room never really cooled off and needed to request 2 fans to sleep somewhat uncomfortably.
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019
Response from Emanuele on Jul 8, 2019
Thank you for your review, we are happy to know you enjoyed your stay and we regret for the issue. This year, due to the bad and cold weather, the scheduled seasonal switch to air conditioning was postponed to mid-June because many guests were still asking for heating ( the temperature was between 12-20 C° and it changed suddenly from one day to the next) Probably during your stay the air conditioning hadn't been activated yet and I much regret that you had to endure an uncomfortable temperature. We thank you for being our guest and look forward to welcome you again at L'Antico Pozzo

Loud ripoff; don’t stay here
We paid for a king and 2 twin beds and got a queen and 1 twin right on the Main Street and the breakfast room. When I dared to ask the owner she was very nasty.

Dear Guest, we were waiting for your review and we thank you for your precious time to share your feedback. We regret that your room was not according to your expectations, it is always disappointing when one of our guests is not satisfied with his experience at L'Antico Pozzo. I would like to inform you that we have no king-size beds in the hotel; there is no booking channel reporting that we have this type of bed since all our double beds are queen cm160x200. The quadruple room you booked has a queen bed of 160x200 + 2 singles, is 34 squared meters and is one of the most requested rooms for comfort , however, since you were in 3 people, we removed a bed to allow you to have more space with the intention that you would have appreciated. We do our best to assist our guests and it is disappointing to know that you have felt an our hostile attitude, it was surely not our intention. I hope this does not refer to our attempts to clarify to you that room was not paid in advance, as was stated in your booking documents. I would like to assure you that, unlike many hotels, we never charge the amount of the reservation in advance; the cancellation policy is 3 days and the payment is always made at check-out directly with the guest. Our sincere hope is to once again be able to serve you in the manner that you expect and that you will return to our hotel once again in the future. Best regards L'Antico Pozzo

All done well.
The staff at the hotel was extremely helpful. The room was pleasant although the view from the window was not good, but sometimes there is nothing that can be done about the view from a hotel in a very old city. Internet worked well and breakfast was good. Parking outside the walls but could drive in to unload luggage.

Lost recharger in the hotel.
The stay was fine. My wife forgot her Nikon camera recharger in the hotel. When she called the next day. First there was a denial there was anything left in the room. Only after a very long conversation on the phone, the receptionist agreed to look into it. Luckily they called later in the day at our new hotel that they found the recharger, battery and the addaptor in the room. It could have been resolved much easier, if the receptionist had agreed to look into it in the first place.

Wonderful accommodations & convenient location
Great location within city walls but San Gimignano is a small city and easy to walk around to see everything. We drove and it is easy to find the hotel, drop off bags and park just outside the walls within a short walk back to hotel. Hotel is charming with an ancient cave below that's set up like an archeological dig in a museum. Rooms are large and comfortable. Standard breakfast fare of various meats, cheeses, fruits, cereals, etc. and they will cook you eggs on order & make coffee drinks like cappuccino. If you're going to experience other local activities such as truffle hunting, cooking classes & wine tasting, this is a great place to make your home base ic you have a car. Overall, very happy with our choice and we would definitely return!

As the hotel is located at one end of San Gimignano, it was easy walking to all of the town. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was even though it was on the main street. The breakfast was substantial with great choices, the room was spacious and well furnished, and staff was very responsive. We called on them every night to make dinner reservations. Their suggestions for how to enjoy the town were perfect - if we came again, this is where we would stay.
