This was our favorite place to stay in Italy! If you want to experience Tuscany, this is the way to do it. Antico Borgo il Cardino has a rustic feel and beautiful views of the countryside. We just loved sitting on our private patio taking in the views and sipping wine. The breakfast was delightful, especially the homemade cake every... More

Antico Borgo is a quiet and beautiful place but it's strength is the staff. Monica, Lucia and Tomas (forgive me, I forget other names) go the extra mile to make you feel at home and make sure you have everything you need. Tomas speaks perfect English and the others will make a good effort. If you need directions ask Lucia,... More

Trip advisor offers a long list of languages to write reviews in, but not romanian. This should change in the future. This charming pension is located in a very peaceful and beautiful area, convenient to reach all major touristic points in the area. By car, Pisa 70 km, Florence 40, Siena 30, San Gimignano 10. Rooms are spotless clean. An... More

I researched Trip Advisor long and hard before deciding on Il Cardino as we wanted somewhere close to San Gim, with a pool and aircon in the rooms. We were not disappointed. It is definitely worth going for the Superior rooms (which most of them are) as you get a small patio, we were lucky to get one of the... More

This is a great place to stay. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The bathrooms are also very clean and come with nice amenities. The staff was so warm and welcoming. The breakfast was perfect. Although we didn't use the pool we sat by it under the veranda and enjoyed the beautiful view. I stayed here with a... More

We spent one week at Il Cardino... It was amazing! The location over the hills of S. Gimignano offer a really beautiful view on San Gimignano. The service was excellent, the rooms really nice and lovely. And the people working there are really friendly, available... Our daughter was at the time 5 months old. Lucia, Leandro and the others were... More

For those who want to get out into the Tuscany countryside you could not pick a better location. Within 30 minutes of Sienna, Volterra, Colle Di Val D'Elsa and San Gimignano, all great medieval towns to visit. And also surrounded by many small wineries which offered wonderful hospitality during our 4 day stay. il Cardino is a pleasant property, efficiently... More

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment for 6 nights and found the pictures online were nothing like this place. The room was extremely dark and it wasn't a place you could relax in, but the grounds were beautiful. Definitely not a place to stay in in the off-season. The breakfast was good, but it was the same every day... More

A most enjoyable four night stay in this beautifully positoned B&B. A good sized and comfortable room with a tiny but usable bathroom set in lovely grounds with a patio area outside each room. Very hospitable proprietors and staff one of whom meets and greets guests in a wide range of languages. Within walking distance of the little village of... More
