    It was very hot when there, and the rooms, while beautiful, are also older...so the AC that runs does not stay in the room as much as a more modern room's AC would....so my only recommendation is to recognize this for these exceptionally hot days and nights and let the AC minimum temp go lower.

    Such a pleasant property -- and even better that it is multi-generational family run! Everyone is so pleasant and helpful that we felt we were constantly being pampered. The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the breakfast outside each morning very tasty with custom made items each day. The pool was SO clutch given how hot it was, water very refreshing and also very little chlorine which we certainly appreciate. They serve other meals as needed and are happy to recommend (and make reservations) for many of the hill town restaurants near them. I was always greeted with a smile by everyone, and I do not think I received the least bit of special attention. You can see for yourselves, I am sure you will not be disappointed!

    Antico Borgo was an absolute gem of a find. We loved it! At times we were the only family at the pool so it was almost like having our own villa but with the amazing family onboard to cater for all our needs. San Gimingnano is a very special place to us and this property has added even more to that. We will definitely return. We can highly recommend it. It’s family run and that is most definitely the feel it has. Nico deserves a special mention. A lovely young man and a credit to his family !

    Impeccable stay. Not a single complaint.

    A beautiful stay with breathtaking views stretching all the way to San Gimignano. You’re welcomed as if you’re part of the family, especially by Federico and Niccolò, two incredibly kind and helpful young hosts who are always ready to assist with a warm smile. The room was very clean and well maintained, as was the bathroom. Every day, they asked if we wanted fresh towels or if we’d like the room cleaned. Great service. Having breakfast on the private terrace of our room was such a lovely extra touch. The pool was great, with enough parasols to find shade under the strong Tuscan sun. There’s plenty to do within a short drive. You can visit charming towns like San Gimignano, Volterra, and Siena, or enjoy local wine tastings nearby. Exploring the area by Vespa is also a fantastic option. Highly recommended!

    We enjoyed our first Tuskany visit in Il Cardino and were sooo happy there. The room, our own terrace (were breakfast was served every morning), the pool area (where you can enjoy cocktails or antipasti in the evenings) and all the garden surroundings were just so lovely, we enjoyed our stay really very much. All the stuff around Nicolo were just lovely and they took care of all of our wished. Thanks so much for our lovely time with you, Il Cardino, and hope to see you soon again! 🌞

    We chose the site because it had air conditioning a pool and the location looked central. We didn’t know that we would absolutely adore the family running the property and the breakfast and hospitality were beyond amazing. The location was very central to local attractions. It was such a warm welcoming and relaxing place to stay.

    Nothing at all.

    This portion of our extended trip throughout Italy was delightful. We were greeted by Nicolo, the owners’ son, who was a perfect example of the genuine, kind hospitality of Italy… actually he exceeded the norm and our expectations. The entire family was equally warm and inviting. Our room had the character and charm of a beloved Italian farmhouse in the vine-filled countryside and opened onto a lovely patio with a refreshing, wonderful view, room 10. Everything was well maintained and the large pool sparkled invitingly. We used it everyday and the water was always very clean and set at a comfortable temperature. Nicolo offered exceptionally good restaurant recommendations that made us feel like a resident rather than a vacationer. We will definitely return one day!

From kind welcome to great breakfast. Room was very clean and nice. We especially enjoyed the little terace in front of our room. I highly recommend and will be back!

    Beautiful place in a delightful, scenic location. I only stayed one night as a stopover on a cycling trip so I wasn't able to take advantage of all of the facilities - including a very inviting looking pool! - but I had a very enjoyable stay nonetheless and breakfast was delicious (and plentiful!).

    Bed could be more comfortable and more pillows would be nice. Breakfast was bit confusing for us to order. There should have been some water bottles or water left in the room.

    We loved the location, grounds of the property and the staff was so helpful. Very accessible from all routes. Views are fantastic and very quiet at night. Nick was very sweet to book our dinners for us.

    The only thing that could have been better was the weather, other than that the stay was wonderful.

    The whole experience was great. The room was comfortable and having breakfast delivered to the room each morning was a treat to start the day. The family that run this Agriturmiso were all very friendly and helpful. We loved the family atmosphere. Location was great, facilities were clean and the grounds were beautiful and well kept.
