Thanks to Tripadvisor our four nights in San Gimignano was spent at Hotel Leon Bianco. We were driving so emailed the hotel a few days prior to check-in and received precise instructions on how to drive through the narrow, cobbled streets to where you can park outside the front door for long enough to drop off your luggage and check...

Just fantastic in every sense, it was an absolute pleasure to stay here. Incredible value for money considering where it is and the high standards. We were lucky enough to stay the weekend of the San Gimignano annual festival so bands, stalls and street food added to the occasion and atmosphere. Dinner at the nearby Vecchie Mura restaurant is recommended.

We just spent 2 nights at the Hotel Leon Banco. The location is absolutely the best, it is right on the main square so you can park your car and walk everywhere. There is also a bus that runs frequenty from the parking lot to the city which is a great feature for a hill town in Tuscany. The hotel... More

We read about this hotel on Tripadvisor and we're glad we did. It's a family run business and it shows. The location is perfect, the rooms were immaculate and the breakfasts were terrific. Ask for a room with a view. The front desk staff was always friendly and helpful. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat,

Our second stop on our honeymoon and just as I did with each other we fell in love with this place! Stayed in room 37 looking straight over the main square. While a very busy tourist location, when the windows are closed you can't even hear the tower bells! Breakfast each morning was a delight with a wide selection of... More

This was our second stay at Leon Bianco and we enjoyed it as much as the first time! It is in a great location in the middle of San Gimignano, one of the prettiest places in Tuscany. Rooms are cozy, breakfast is plentiful, the views gorgeous and the staff helpful and courteous. Already planning our return!

Having arrived in the rain at 10pm, we were greeted at reception warmly by the friendly man on duty - I'm sorry but I didn't catch his name. He happily showed us our room, directions on how to get our car parked, and suggestions for possible restaurants that might still be open. We stayed in Room 34 which has an... More

The moment I stepped into the lobby, I knew this would be a pleasant stay. The statute of a white lion greets one at the bottom of the stairs. The off-white interior is soothing and inviting. The owner spoke excellent English, and was helpful in making restaurant reservations and ordering taxis. We had a party of 38. All of our... More

If you REALLY want to get a sense of San G (I still cannot get all those vowels out in right order), stay there overnight. After the daytrippers are gone, especially the insanely LOUD students. Okay, it is their country, but really? The hotel was very nice. View out of the room, well I knew we weren't in Forte dei... More

An excellent hotel in the centre of San Gimignano; large rooms and comfortable beds. We had views over the Piazza Della Cisterna and its surrounding buildings, as well as French doors overlooking the countryside. Wi fi can be a bit of a problem here, although you can receive free wi fi by using the sitting area by reception. We found... More
