The magic isn't even the great food of their excellent restaurant. The magic of Villa Ducci is their ability to make you feel like a part of their family! Villa Ducci's "magic" is the exceptional customer service their entire staff provides enthusiastically! This genuine and sincere level of service from every member of their staff ties everything together, and makes the stay not only great, but memorable as well. From the moment we checked in, they treated us like we were family. A member of their staff (Elisa) personally gave us a tour of their grounds, and the amenities their hotel provides, including everything within our room. We asked if there was a possibility to have a small refrigerator placed in our room, and they provided it without hesitation, and installed it while we were out! If you want to start your Tuscan vacation with the best in hospitality, I encourage you to come to Villa Ducci, you will not be disappointed.

Villasanpaolo is a beautiful hotel though it is advertised as a spa hotel, the spa only includes…read morethe indoor heated pool and a steam room which you are only allowed 3 hours person in which you schedule a time for. everything else in the spa must be paid for. the outdoor pool is not heated but it has an incredible view of the country side. there is an outdoor hottub but it was not open. the staff is attentive and courteous with contagious smiles. the dining area is gorgeous with amazing views as well though the menu is limited but the food was very good. i would recommend this hotel for a short stay as the grounds are beautiful but not very big with no activities to do. the grounds have an extremely strong scent that was unpleasant for me but didn't bother my partner. Since the property is very limited there is no where to get water or any other drinks besides the snack bar which i thought was pricey for water in this location. which they pour into very tiny glasses. because the town is not walking distance and doesn't have sidewalks in the countryside. they should consider a fountain here as guest are very limited to the property. overall this is a great hotel if you want to relax with peace and quiet.

This review is just for the restaurant since we had dinner there, but didn't stay at the property…read more San Gimignano was our last stop before we had to go back to Florence. The place we were staying at had a restaurant, but happened to be closed the day we got there and when we asked the front desk if they had any recommendations, we were recommended this place. It was less than a mile away so it was a quick drive. I could tell it was fancy as soon as we pulled in. So the property has a couple choices. One proper restaurant and one was more of a cafe so I'm assuming they're only open during breakfast/lunch hours. We opted to dine at their restaurant. Right off the bat I knew I was going to love it because the guy who was serving had THE most perfect smile I had ever seen in my life. And it didn't look forced. He just had a perfect beautiful smile. The restaurant itself looked super classy. And if you happened to get a set by the window, you ended up with a beautiful view of the city. Lights and all. The food was excellent. Everything we had was delicious. Plates were cleared. But the whole experience was made extra special by the attentive and friendly staff.

We had 2 rooms across from each other. Our double room had a spectacular view of the picturesque countryside. The rooms were lovely, very clean and had comfortable beds & air conditioning. The breakfasts were delicious. They included homemade cake, homemade focaccia, meats & cheeses, yogurt, cereal, and a beautiful fruit plate. Elio was so kind and helpful. He helped us with reservations for great local restaurants and offered suggestions for sightseeing.

The hotel itself is a fantastic mix of eclectic antique furniture and modern artworks all set in a rustic restored farmhouse. Our suite consisted of 2 large rooms and a substantial terrace. The hotels has its own small gardens and decent sized pool and is set amidst woods and vines. Breakfast and dinner can be taken outside (no lunch is available). The cooking is mouthwatering traditional Italian homecooking - at least 4 courses, but no choices (though Vegetarians are well looked after). The produce is all local with much of it grown right on the doorstep. But on top of the location, the quiet beauty and the great cooking, what makes casolare di libbiano so special is Berta and Andrea. They appear to take a simple but absolute delight in sharing their home with their guests.

Finding it, is tricky use the longitude and latitude to make it easier and allow a lot of daylight to get lost. That's even worth it because of the amazing views! Everything from the first person we met to our room, to the food, pool, views, staff, the grounds, parking etc was perfect. We rolled in after being lost for a bit, checked in, and a nice young man helped with our bags to the room - we had the room over the restaurant with the San Gimignano and vineyard view. The room was spacious and clean. The fridge had times for purchase but it was large enough we could put in some of our own water or food - not huge though - I guess thats the only flaw? ha ha a wee more space in there for personal items. We were starving and they let us order some bites off the menu we got sort of an antipasti plate, cheese, bread and bruschetta..delish and reasonably priced. the setting for dining is outstanding, the view of the sunset, the pool, the grounds is just stunning. The pool is crystal blue. There were some children there but I think only for 1 of the days we were there. I would venture to say this is more on the adult side, but certianly kid friendly. I jsut dont see kids enjoying it as much as adults looking for a getaway, romance and relaxation. We had a car and being from the states we thought it was nicely located too, an hour or 2 and you were everywhere! Pisa, Florence, Genoa... we trotted around and took trips all over. It was indeed the perfect Tuscany honeymoon spot. They have their own vineyard and olive oil too ! It's not a cheap place to stay, but worth every penny. I'll finish up with my queer-o-meter!!! we had NO issues in Italy at all on our honeymoon and this place was perfect. The staff and guests - no problems having a romantic dinner there or being together on the ground walking around. Mormoraia, thank you for a trip of a lifetime - we hope to be back!!!

It's safe and quiet. If you book this property, do so because of its stellar location! And if you have a car, it's easy to park here (though there's a hefty fee, I believe we paid 15 Euros per night) and not have to fuss with the ZTL zones inside San Gimignano's walls! The hotel has lots of extra "gotcha" charges -- extra for wi-fi, extra fee for parking in their lot out front, etc. The grounds were lovely and the views spectacular. If you book a cheap room, get ready to overlook houses. If you are staying more than a night, it's worth it to book a view room -- the views of the Tuscan hillside are breathtaking. The free breakfast was abysmal, I left without eating. Lots of dried out boxed pastries, sliced deli meat and yogurt. Not many options. Sleep in and don't waste your time on it, there's too much GOOD food to eat in Tuscany! The hotel itself is just okay. It's old and dated and our "Small Double" room was not as nice as the common areas suggest. It was dark and tiny. The bathroom was so cramped it was ridiculous. Yeah, I've stayed in lots of hotels all over the world and I know European rooms are always smaller than rooms in North America, but banging my shins on the bidet and squeezing into the shower is my idea of tiny living! The staff was friendly. I did enjoy the large balcony attached to our room although we had no view. It was nice to sleep with the doors open to let the fresh, cool air inside. Nice toiletries were provided as well. The pictures on their website are pretty accurate, they don't really try to "sugar coat" their representation of what you get.
