Once the seat of a small Etruscan village, San Gimignano is one of the most picturesque and charming towns in Tuscany. It has remained virtually unchanged since its creation. You will travel back in time as you discover the Hotel La Collegiata, a Franciscan convent built in 1587, whose Roman arches now house elegant rooms and a charming restaurant.

There are 20 Rooms and One Suite with a 360° view on the surrounding valley and the towers of San Gimignano. Every room has some architectonical details or color which makes it different from the other rooms. From the more rustic style of the dependence to the two floor suite, this has a huge Jacuzzi bath tub on the upper floor. All the rooms are furnished according to the sober style of the Tuscan countryside, with the typical colors of the palaces of Siena, like ochre, dark green, and Bordeaux, as well as some touches of blue. The bathrooms are furnished with stone and travertine. All the rooms are Air Conditioned, Safe, Private Telephone, DSL Internet Access, and Widescreen LCD TV set with Pay per View.

Hotel La Collegiata refines its hospitality by offering a small gym in an exclusive and relaxing ambience, next to the swimming pool, and a range of beauty treatments for the face and the body, on appointment and according to the client's request.

The Hotel offers a Restaurant called Il Sagrato, built in the old church. In summer it is a pleasure staying outside in a fantastic Dehors with a great view of the towers of the nearly town of San Gimignano. It is possible to have dinner in a small room for meetings and conferences at the client's disposal with possible hostessing service. The food is inspired to the flavors of the Tuscan tradition, preferring seasonal and local products. The style is to reinvent the typical dishes, both in the way they are prepared and presented, paying also attention to the wine choice. The mineral water list is also to be remarked, as well as the oil tasting list, as oil is the symbolic product of the Tuscan region.

At the heart of the Chianti vineyards, this property also provides the chance to taste the best vintages in a region that offers so many; and just a few miles from the beauties of Siena.
