Excellent place to stay. The staff are wonderful and helpful and the whole hotel is very clean and well kept and well thought out. I would totally recommend staying here. It is a great location being very near to San Gimignano. If you have a hire car there are many beautiful places within a reasonable drive. They offer a shuttle service for free to take you up to the entrance of San Gimignano which is very good and it is a short walk down a quiet path bath to the hotel (all downhill thankfully!) The two pools are kept very clean and they are very chilled and peaceful, and there is bar service between 12-18:00. The buffet breakfast is very good and has pretty much everything, the quality id excellent with superb local produce. The restaurant is also excellent as you would expect, but I would recommend booking as it is open to everyone not just the people staying at the hotel. The restaurant has a tree covered courtyard which is lovely and cool and offers a view over the vineyards. If you like a classy, peaceful stay the I recommend hotel Sovestro very much. Great location, excellent staff and perfect centre for exploring Tuscany.

The hotel is a hidden gem that perfectly blends a historic farm setting with its own vineyard. Although the estate is large, it retains an incredibly intimate and cozy atmosphere. Access is convenient due to its location just off the main road, and there is ample parking space available.The culinary offerings are a major highlight of the stay. The restaurant serves excellent dishes made from high-quality ingredients, perfectly complemented by the hotel's own estate wine. Mornings are equally impressive, featuring a generous and varied breakfast selection.

Our favorite hotel in Italy! Hotel Sovestro has been, without a doubt, our favorite hotel of our trip through Italy. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The hotel is surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan countryside, just outside San Gimignano, creating the perfect combination of peace, nature and convenience. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the swimming pool is fantastic, and our room was spacious, spotless, extremely comfortable and much better than we could have expected from a three-star hotel. Breakfast was excellent, with fresh, high-quality products and everything needed to start the day perfectly. The restaurant deserves a special mention. We had some truly memorable meals here, including the best beef tartare I have ever tasted. Sergio was incredibly kind and even shared his recipe with us — a wonderful gesture that says a lot about the warmth and generosity we experienced during our stay. But what really makes Hotel Sovestro exceptional is its people. The service is warm, genuine and personal. We felt welcomed and cared for throughout our entire stay, with the kind of hospitality that makes a place feel special rather than simply luxurious. After staying in several excellent four-star hotels during our trip through Italy, we can honestly say that Sovestro surpassed many of them in comfort, service and overall experience. The three-star classification simply does not reflect how good this hotel really is. Beautiful surroundings, excellent rooms, a wonderful pool, delicious food and truly outstanding hospitality. We arrived as guests and left with very special memories of this place. Absolutely recommended. We would return without hesitation.

Wonderful stay at this friendly hotel. So peaceful and such beautiful surroundings. The staff on hand were so friendly and welcoming. They made sure we found our rooms and had help with our luggage without us asking. |The food was very nice and the rooms were spacious and very clean. All the staff there were very polite and friendly. |It was very close to the town, which was beautiful and well worth a good look around! They have a free little shuttle bus that can take you into the town and pick you up and bring you back. Last shuttle back at 5.20 so if you stay into the evening for food and drinks there is a 1.5 km walk back. The swimming pool was lovely and clean and big enough to get some lengths in! Air conditioned rooms. The WiFi was also good. |Thank you for a lovely stay! Would happily return again!

Wonderful family owned hotel in the Tuscan countryside! Everyone was kind and very helpful. There was a fantastic restaurant on site. We ate there every night (except Thursday when they were closed. They did have a breakfast buffet every day with plenty of choices which was great before we went out to explore. We did the wine tasting at the Tenuta Sovestro across the street. The hotel was very quiet and the beds were comfortable. Would recommend to family and friends. We did side trips to Siena, Pisa, Cinque Terre and Bologna which were easy day trips.

A bit uphill going there but easy coming back a special mention of Michael the lovely barman always 😀 there with a cold beer 🍺 and all the best with your new baby 👶. One thing .it would be nice to have a tea or coffee machine in the rooms 🤔 and maybe a bit more warm food at breakfast 🤔
