We had a wonderful stay at this charming B&B! This location is perfect - just outside of town but still within walking distance, which made exploring San Gimignano so easy without being in the middle of the touristy center. The picturesque views of the town from the B&B garden were breathtaking. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Francesca provided many great suggestions for the area - from wineries to restaurants - which were all hits! Our room was very clean and spacious. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to stay while visiting San Gimignano!

The best place we stayed in our 2-week tour of Italy. The B&B is in a perfect location with on-site parking and just a 10 minute walk to the town walls. It overlooks San Gimignano and the surrounding countryside with incredible views from the garden where breakfast is served. Francesca and her father Mauro are the most enthusiastic and welcoming hosts and are a lot of fun to get to know. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic. Francesca recommended a variety of restaurants to meet all budgets. We took her pasta-making class and had a great experience and lots of fun. Highly recommend!

Too short a stay!

For me, Tuscany was better than I had dreamed of - the views, the food, the drink and the rustic medieval villages. I was looking for a peaceful B&B so that I can enjoy La Dolce Vita - sipping wine on a lazy afternoon, while looking at the magnificent views of a medieval town. And this B&B was perfect! This has one of the best views of San Gimignano, which you can enjoy while having breakfast or a drink from a very well maintained garden, thanks to Signor Mauro. And Francesca was one of the most delightful hosts I’ve ever met. She’s very enthusiastic and kind. You can spend an entire afternoon just listening to the stories about her life and her travels. And if you want to have the best food and the best gelato, listen to her suggestions! I had the best Steak of my life and I still can’t get over that - thanks to her suggestion. It’s a not flashy resort with a pool, but it was a peaceful B&B with amazing views and wonderful people. And was the highlight of my Italy trip. I’d definitely like to go back there soon enough.

We are more than happy to have chosen Il Fienile for our one night say in San Gimignano. The B&B was everything one can wish for - it was super clean, cozy, spaceous enough, the view was amazing and it is so close to the town itself - you can go visit it and be back in your B&B in few minutes. Most importantly, Fransesca and her family were super lovely, communicative, we felt very welcomed, cared for and got tones of good recommendations for San Gimingnano and other places in Tuscany. We enjoyed the town of course, but it was the same pleasure to just chill in our B&B, use the tables outside, chat with the host. Everything was super lovely

The view from our room and the garden were wonderful. Francesca was a wonderful and welcoming host. She allowed to check-in early when we arrived earlier than scheduled, gave us some great tips for places to eat and visit in San Gimignano, and even gave us a ride up the steep hill into town so we could go visit! We did a pasta making class with her which was just so much fun, and we really enjoyed the hospitality. This is a great place to stay, visit San Gimignano and just relax and take in the beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside.

The entrance to town is a very steep climb up a long hill, but it wasn't a problem because someone from the B&B gave us a ride up each day, so we never had to climb it! It was super nice of them and we greatly appreciated it. Coming back it was quite easy as it was all downhill, and truly just a 5-minute walk. I mention this just in case there are visitors with mobility concerns, but it was no problem for us.

Francesca and Alessio hosted the most lovely B & B with sweeping views of the most stunning Tuscan landscape. The accommodations were comfortable and the a/c was in great working order. When we booked our stay initially it was for one night. But when we heard Andrea Bocelli was having a concert in his hometown, we extended our stay. The only glitch was our car rental plan from Bologna fell through. We had to take a train to San Gemignano. When we contacted Francesca to see about getting a taxi from the train station to her B & B (only ten minutes by car), she called several and couldn’t find availability. She explained that it is not typical but that she would pick us up!. We tried several taxi companies once we got settled and to no avail for our cooking class and concert for the next two nights. Apparently these must be booked well in advance during the tourist season. After the first night we explained to Francesca that we would try to sell the Bocelli tickets since we could not get transportation (it was also our anniversary). Francesca and Allesio surprised us with offering to drive us! It was worth the extra money she charged to get us around and we were so grateful! When we left, Francesca said to consider her as family in Italy. Having been to many small and large cities in Italy, this was by far the most beautiful place and experience we had! The walk to the Center was 10 minutes and very doable. Definitely recommend the breakfast for a small upcharge. There were breads, cheeses, yogurts, fruits, coffee, tea, and her Mother’s homemade sweets. Would give more stars if we could!!

Francesca was a super host, spoke very good English and was very helpful with suggestions for things to do in San Gimignano and Siena. The view of San Gimingiano from the garden of the property was amazing and as they offered breakfast in the garden it was a super experience. The food and drinks offered at breakfast were absolutely delicious and there were different options each day. This included home made cakes or pastries and also eggs, cold meats and other savoury items. We really liked being just outside and looking towards the town and it only took minutes to walk there.

I liked everything, especially the friendliness and excellent service of Mauro and Francesca. The breakfast is perfect. The room is very cosy. In short, the whole atmosphere is very pleasant.

Everything is perfect, but if I have to mention one point of caution, it's the distance to the old part of the village. It's about a 10-minute walk uphill. It wasn't a problem for us, but it might be for older people. But everything else makes it worth staying at this b&b.

Stayed here in July. Francesca was an excellent host, friendly as ever. She gave us some very useful tips about visiting the surrounding area in Tuscany. We had a room with a view over San Gimignano which was just excellent. The room itself was very clean, with a fridge, comfortable bed and good bathroom. If we had any requests, Francesca and Mauro would aid us immediately! And the breakfast was splendid, very good value for money!

At some points the WiFi wasn't working or would be very slow. But we may have just been unlucky with the location of the room or it wasn't working on those particular days

This was the absolute highlight of our holiday. Francesca and Mauro were so friendly and welcoming, and gave us loads of great suggestions about the local area (and beyond for our onward journey!). We felt truly looked after, and although Francesca speaks excellent English she was very encouraging and patient with my bad Italian :) The room was very large with lots of storage, a comfortable bed and a large bathroom with a good shower. However you won't want to spend much time in the room because the real high point of Il Fienile is the garden with the stunning panoramic view of the San Gimignano skyline and the valley below. When the weather is good (which was practically every day) breakfast is served there so you can start the day with the great view, and we also spent several evenings out there watching the sun go down and enjoying the selection of excellent local wines they have. The B&B is about 10 minutes walk from San Gimignano so you have the double benefit of being close to the town but also being able to benefit from some peace and quiet and the lovely view. We will 100% stay again when we revisit Tuscany.

Honestly there's nothing we would improve, it was so lovely.
