A gem in Tocana. A really good hotel, with a great location, below San Gimignano (25 min walk, the hotel also provides a shuttle service from the hotel). Lovely rooms, super restaurant, wonderful pool area, fantastic staff, both in hotel and restaurant. Beautiful location, possibility of wine tasting, on-site own wine, oil, grappa, etc. (so you might know what to order for dinner in the evening), and did I mention the wonderful location. The restaurant: Da Pode is in the Michelin guide as a :Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking, it serves delicious Tuscan cuisine. We stayed there for 4 nights and when we come back to Tuscany, we will definitely come back. It was a great experience and a really good starting point for day trips in the Tuscan countryside.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Hotel Sovestro. Everything about the hotel is exceptional. The staff are so friendly, the rooms are really clean and ours had a lovely terrace area, the pools and pool areas are fabulous and the food is amazing. We ate in the restaurant once and we had three lovely meals. We particularly enjoyed the breakfasts with a fantastic selection of food on offer and lovely coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. The shuttle bus is a welcome journey up the hill in an evening when it was still hot. San Gimignano is a wonderful place and a wonderful base. We meandered around the town a few times and apart from the meal in the hotel, ate out every night. Each restaurant we ate in was really good and the walk back to the hotel was easy and

Great location, spotless clean Parking easy Fabulous pool area We ate in restaurant twice & both times lovely The 25 min walk uphill into town is so worth it (take trainers) stunning views & photo ops. Coming back late is safe, v dark so used light on phone for path, saw hundreds beautiful fireflies The town is amazing, pretty streets,plenty bars,restaurants We did bus trips to Florence & Siena, both worth it (buy your bus ticket in advance)We drove to Volterra, beautiful drive & town. Lovely,polite staff If had to have any negative comment/feedback..make your bar room/area more welcoming, there is no atmosphere. Too quiet, no background music, have to find staff to get drinks We saw many people pop head in then walk off. Its a shame, great size room,would be great communal

Seeing the positive online reviews, I thought I would give Hotel Sovestro a try. First, the pros. The front desk staff is very lovely and helpful, the hotel and the room were sparkling clean to the point it almost felt sterile, the bed is great and they provide plenty of pillows (if only all hotels would understand that!). The location is great to explore the area by car, there's available and easy parking (unlike many places in Italy), and San Gimignano is within walking distance (30 minutes, uphill). While the hotel somewhat shows its age, it is well kept and it is a comfortable spot. There seems to be, for the most part, a sense of pride by hotel staff and management to keep this place clean and tidy. Now, the cons. While breakfast was provided and options were plenty,

Just had a brilliant week at Hotel Sovestro. Great position to travel around Tuscany. The free hotel shuttle bus to San Gimignano is a great bonus and so easy to walk back down the lane at night. Beds extremely comfy. The hotel breakfast is amazing with freshly squeezed oranges, best quality espresso/ cappuccino and the freshly made croissants and cakes were unbelievable. All the staff were friendly and they work very well as a team. Sergio must be very proud of his hotel. 😁👍

we went for the week in January 2023 to celebrate my partners 60th birthday, we had been to Tuscany before and loved it. this hotel did not disappoint. we loved everything about it. the location is perfect, just a short distance from San Gimignano, lovely and peaceful. the room was lovely, very spacious and very clean. room was tidied every day. the restaurant menu was very nice, we ate in there about 4 nights out of the 6 in total that we stayed for, and the staff were superb, couldn't do enough for us! the breakfasts were amazing too! we didnt get chance to sample the pool with it being January and out of season, but we would certainly come back again during the warmer months to try it out. we would like to thank everyone there who made our little break so enjoyable and

The hotel is great. Rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is very very welcoming and nice, and the location is perfect. You can walk or drive to San Gimignano and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Breakfast really stands out. They served a variety of really great cheese and real juice. Would definitely go back!

Arrived for a 2 night stay and was a little underwhelmed, on the surface the hotel looks a little tired and dark. By the end of our stay we realised that this was a really well run hotel. The staff were all very helpful. The location is fantastic, there is a stunning, if tiring, 20-30 minute walk to San Gimignano (the walk back downhill is much easier) but the hotel offers a shuttle service as well during the day. The pool area is really good and the adjoining restaurant is absolutely excellent for both breakfast and dinner. No hesitation in recommending.

Brilliant Hotel , fantastic location. The pool area was great , fantastic staff and a really great restaurant. Breakfast was great , room was very clean and we had a balcony which was lovely to sit with a drink and relax. Couldn’t fault anything. The walk to San Gimignano was lovely . Best to get the free bus and walk back later in the evening. About 25 mins walk , but a very nice walk back . We had a hire car , so exploring was easy . So many lovely places to visit. We will be booking again in the future
