When we came down the stairs for breakfast our first morning at La Cornice, the view that greeted us was nothing short of exquisite! It took my breath away and actually gave me butterflies! Even if everything else about this sweet little B&B had been mediocre (it wasn’t!) I’d stay here again. The whole experience was just so lovely. The sweet, sweet garden that allows you to sit and relax and absorb the beauty makes it hard to leave for sightseeing (and shopping) adventures. And our host, Benedetta, was great! I was concerned when I booked this stay that its location was outside the walls … but that turns out to be its biggest asset … the view of San Gimignano itself. And the walk to the town is shorter and easier than it seems … under 10 minutes (and we are old and slow).

Nothing

Place was super clean with a view which can be best described as ‘postcard’ worthy. Host Benedetta is wonderful, kind and very considerate. She arranged a truly local Chianti tour for us with a local guide Bruno, who took us to beautiful smaller towns and villages which will never feature on any itinerary otherwise. Breakfast at property was great too with multiple options and Benedetta even arranged early breakfast for our early morning trips. Unforgettable experience for us, especially late evening visits to the old Sam Gimignano area after daily crowd is gone. It’s just a quick walk away from property

The property will suit those who want to be out of the old town of San Gimignano. It is in a quiet location with superb views looking towards the historic centre. The views from the breakfast room and garden are amazing. We ate breakfast in the gardens both mornings and it was relaxing and enjoyable with the spectacular views. The rooms are lovely and very clean and having access to the laundry was a bonus. The breakfast was also really good with lots of choices and freshly cooked. Whilst it appears the walk to town would be a long way and hilly, it is in fact not very far at all and a lot of it is a flat walk with a gentle incline at the end. Only takes about 12 minutes. The property also has a small amount of paid parking which is great for those with a car. Most of all, our host Benedetto was amazing. She is very warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Her bubbly personality made our stay even more special. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again. Wished we had longer!

We loved our stay here. It was an easy walk into the center of San Gimignano. Our room was well appointed and recently remodeled. The bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was very nice, and well thought out. Our host, Benedetta was very communicative with us on WhatsApp and we knew how to reach her easily. The breakfast was very nice each morning, and could be tailored for individuals. The ability to do laundry was a very nice feature. We also enjoyed that she had a nice selection of local wines to enjoy while looking at the city lights.

I have no negative comments about our stay, it was wonderful.

We had the most fantastic stay at B&B La Cornice. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We received such a warm welcome from Bernadetta, who really made our stay special. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We loved the daily breakfast - enjoying traditional home made Italian morning cake and wonderful bruschetta. The B&B is located a short walk into the main area of town, so it’s easy to get to but you enjoy the silence and peace of being away from the bustle. We will remember the beautiful view forever.

Our greatest regret is that we didn’t book for longer. We will be back!

We had a fantastic one-night stay in San Gimignano that left a lasting impression. The accommodation was cozy and beautifully set in the heart of Tuscany, offering the perfect blend of comfort and charm. Although our stay was short and the service we received was outstanding, The breakfast was delightful, featuring a lovely selection of local treats that perfectly captured the flavors of the region. It was the ideal way to start our day before continuing our journey. Overall, our experience was wonderful, and we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for

All is perfect

We have traveled the world several times and the this stay was the BEST ever! Seriously! The folks at this B&B are so kind and hospitable. This is a family owned place fully updated and modern. Breakfasts were so good and satisfying. And the views of SAN Gimignano were the stuff of Renaissance legend. Magnificant and breathtaking come to mind. We promised ourselves a return trip. And parking to boot!

Nothing. Really, it was all great. We left with new Italian friends.

Everything was tops at La Cornice, especially the location because we had reserved parking right next to the bed and breakfast. The public parking situation all around San Gimignano is ghastly impossible without reserved parking. Same for Montepulcino, Montalcino, Volterra, Siena and others. It's all beautiful around the villages, IF you can get parked. Wherever we went, we made sure we had lodging with reserved parking.

The room was excellent and modern, but if you want rustic old world charm, you might have a slight disappointment. We had other rustic lodgings elsewhere in Tuscany; and we were ready for modern lodging. The photos don't fully show how good this place is.

The property was wonderful. It was in the perfect location with a beautiful garden with amazing views looking out to San Gimignano and a short walk to the centre. Our host Benedetta was beyond helpful. She booked a wine tasting for us and was readily available to provide any information we needed. We had a beautiful breakfast each morning which was freshly cooked by Benedetta and delicious. We were also able to book parking at the property. I only wish I could have taken one of Benedettas cooking classes

Nothing, everything was perfect and our best stay to date

Lovely clean apartments with a beautiful shared lounge/breakfast room which has AMAZING views out across San Gimignano. Benedetta is a charming host. We just had breakfast one morning - pleasant and good value. Tea/coffee available 24/7 in the lounge. It's a 10 minute flat walk to the gate into town, there's a little supermarket nearby. A wonderful base for the town, and the surrounding area. Private parking quiet, safe, and very close.

Nothing comes to mind....
