Everything bout Hotel Sovestro was perfect. It's easy to get to, parking is right in front, we were greeted by staff (family owners!), our room had a patio onto the large and pleasant pool area, there is a bar with a very friendly and helpful bar owner, a Michelin star restaurant where the matriarch of the family prepares amazing dinners (wait until you see the breakfast buffet). Again, EVERYTHING about the hotel is top notch (location, staff, amenities, cleanliness, furnishings, the bed, the towels, etc). AND! the family has their own winery across the street where you can have wine tastings from delicious wines they create from their own grapes on their property. The value of a stay at this property is amazing. The patriarch of the family drives a shuttle bus to San Gimignano (2 km distant) every couple of hours: it is one of the best preserved medieval fortress towns in all of Italy. We walked back on a nearly deserted country road, view of San Gimignano all the way, one of the best things we did during our stay. Be sure and ask the way to walk back to Hotel Sovestro. This lodging has our highest of all ratings!
