Benadetta was a wonderful host. She was always ready to give us information where we needed it. The breakfast was really good and the B&B was located in a quiet part of the town where you had a magnificent view of San Gimignano. It was located 500m from the city center. We enjoyed our holidays.

La Cornice was the perfect B&B for us! It is conveniently located a short walk from the San Gimignano town square, and the view is unbeatable. Benedetta's hospitality is unparalleled. Not only was she helpful and accommodating throughout the booking process, she gave us wonderful suggestions and tips for our daily excursions around Tuscany once we were there. The amenities at the B&B were wonderful, and breakfast was such a treat every morning--homemade baked goods, fresh bruschetta, homemade jams, and coffee made to order. I can't give enough positive feedback for the B&B and hosts.

We stayed here two nights during our latest holiday in Italy. La Cornice is located approximately 700 m from the historic center of San Gimignano (easy walk, mostly flat). Rooms are modern and include a private bathroom, A/C, TV, wifi, a small fridge, and a private balcony. Public car park is available around the B&B without charge. Breakfast is served (at least when we were there in August) in the garden, overlooking the skyline of San Gimignano. The owner, Bernadetta, is very nice and helpful and also speaks English very well.

Benedetta is a perfect host, the house is stylishly decorated and the rooms are very cozy. The location is perfect for enjoying the closer surroundings and for making daily trips around Tuscany. If you need some information, don't hesitate to ask, you'll get a lot of useful suggestions.

During our bike tour through Tuscany, San Gimignano, B&B 'La Cornice', was our stopping point for 2 days! We were warmly welcomed by Benedetta and were amazed by the stunning location with a view of the towers. First of all, our bikes found a nice, secure place. Our room was superb, nothing was missing. The breakfast was the best on our tour, freshly prepared, we even got bruschetta, fried eggs, and... upon request! Thanks to Benedetta and her small family team for their effort and their loving fulfillment of guest wishes! Keep it up.

The location is perfect, in about 15 minutes you can walk to San Gimignano. Benedetta welcomed us warmly. The Mina apartment is great for 2 adults and a child, with a large parent bedroom and spacious children's room. Large shower, shampoo and soap available, everything wonderful. We were also very happy with the modern air conditioning system and the free Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The small kitchenette offers everything you need. The only downside was that the dishes were not quite clean, this should be better checked before the arrival of new guests. The 6 euro breakfast was very good. Every day there was delicious homemade cake and a Tuscan specialty. The absolute highlight in the morning is breakfast in the garden with a unique view of the towers of San Gimignano. Benedetta provides valuable tips for exploring the area. She speaks very good English. During our stay it was very hot. The only thing missing for our perfect holiday would have been the pool in the garden. Everything was great and up to date, except that we had to pay in cash (the reservation confirmation stated card payment), which we found a bit annoying. You don't like to have so much cash with you and there is no safe in the apartment. This should definitely be changed. We recommend the accommodation 100% and will definitely come back! Best regards to Benedetta and her nice parents! Katja and family.

The answer from the host:
Hi Katja, Thank you very much for your review, i am really Happy you had a great time in our Place. I am sorry for the dishes, i personally washed all of them together with glasses and mugs in the morning before your check in, i Will for sure check them more accuratelly in the future. I am very glad you loved our panoramic Garden. San Gimignano is and Unesco asset, so as our Place is too close to the historical centre of San Gimignano people are not allowed anymore to build swimming pool here in order to preserve and not alterate the beauty of the place. Please note that in Bed and Breakfast. it we are advertiding our 4 rooms, for which you Can pay via credit card/cash/bank transfert as advertised. However the apartment you booked from our website is not part of the bed and breakfast, so the payment Can be made in cash/Bank transfert or PayPal. I cannot have an electronic payment system for an apartment that my family rent out Just for a couple of months per year.

The first thing I want to highlight is the kindness at all times of our hostess Benedetta, always smiling. If you come like us with a rental car, you can park on the same street, you always find a place to do it. You can easily walk to San Gimignano being less than 10 minutes away. Both the room and the rest of the facilities were very clean, spacious room with everything you need and air conditioning. The breakfast was very good, where you can find local products such as bruschettas and homemade cakes, excellent cappuccino. Having breakfast in the garden with a view of San Gimignano is priceless, the views are truly spectacular. It's a place I recommend and would return to without hesitation.

Perfect accommodation to visit San Gimignano and the surrounding areas. Very cozy house, with spacious and very clean rooms, all decorated with great taste. Having breakfast on the terrace overlooking San Gimignano is a real pleasure. With the kindness and smile of Benedetta, you can't ask for much more!

Benedetta is really pleasant and gives good advice. For breakfast, we have to order, but I think it would be better to present it in a simpler way. Eggs, cheese, ham, yogurt, cereal, bread, butter, jam, croissant, cake - we all have different tastes.

Practically perfect. Benedetta and her father make you feel at home, pamper you in a beautiful setting with a breathtaking view of San Gimignano. The rooms are tastefully furnished, clean, and spacious. The abundant and quality breakfast is served on the beautiful outdoor terrace of the garden. You couldn't ask for more. Absolutely recommended.

The structure is practically perfect. Impeccable cleanliness, new and very beautiful furniture, great location, in a quiet street with an exceptional view of the towers of San Gimignano, which can be reached on foot in 10 minutes. Abundant and excellent breakfast, fresh (fruit juice, coffee, homemade pastries, toast, fresh croissants). Kind and helpful host. Free parking in front of the B&B. Special mention also for the website, very clear and full of proposals to spend time in a territory that never gets boring. Fair price.
