Locanda Il Pino

Bed & Breakfast in San Gimignano in the city center

Our property

Since 1929, the hospitality tradition of Grandma Amelia and Grandpa Dante has welcomed travelers in the heart of San Gimignano, turning every stay into a small journey through history. Locanda Il Pino is born from this authentic legacy and still retains that warm, familial atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home, with genuine care, valuable local tips, and the joy of experiencing the truest Tuscany. The inn features six comfortable rooms in typical Tuscan style, with exposed beams and terracotta floors, perfect for those seeking the charm of tradition combined with a simple and sincere welcome. In addition, there are two small medieval-style apartments, ideal for guests who desire more independent spaces and a setting reminiscent of bygone times. These apartments are located within a private courtyard with a garden overlooking the medieval walls, a peaceful corner to relax after a day of exploring art and landscapes. Each morning, breakfast is served in the ground-floor dining rooms, which are charming and full of character, featuring medieval arches and stone walls that tell the story of the place. It is the best way to start the day while savoring the authentic atmosphere of San Gimignano. The human touch at the Locanda adds extra value: Elena, the heart of the establishment, always greets guests with a smile; Filippo will be your point of reference from arrival to departure, ready to make your experience even more enjoyable and personalized. To enhance your stay, guests can also indulge in delightful cuisine at Ristorante Il Pino, where Chef Francesco offers the rich flavors of Tuscan cooking, featuring dishes that celebrate tradition, truffles, and game. Each course is paired with a carefully selected wine list curated by Francesco, featuring numerous renowned labels. The location is one of its strengths: it takes only a few minutes to reach Piazza del Duomo and the Torre Grossa, while the bus stop is just a short walk away, making it easy to explore without worries. From here, it’s also simple to discover the beauty of the surrounding areas: Siena is about 33 km away, Volterra 27 km, Monteriggioni 20 km, and Florence 54 km. Additionally, the beautiful Tuscan leg of the Via Francigena passes right in front of the inn, perfect for those who enjoy slow, meaningful tourism. Among the towers of what is known as “the Manhattan of the Middle Ages,” Locanda Il Pino awaits to help you discover the most exciting side of Tuscany: timeless alleys, art and history at every turn, and the pleasure of tasting local products and ancient taverns that make San Gimignano truly unforgettable.

Area city center

San Gimignano is a place that captivates at first glance: a skyline of towers rising among the hills and an unspoiled historic center, where every stone tells centuries of history. Strolling through the streets and alleys of the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages,” a UNESCO site and a symbol of the most authentic Tuscany, means immersing oneself in a timeless atmosphere, filled with romantic views, artisan shops, small squares, and sudden panoramas that open up to the countryside. The location of the Inn is perfect for experiencing all of this with utmost convenience, just a few minutes away from Piazza del Duomo and the Torre Grossa, the vibrant heart of the city. Also nearby is the bus stop, making it easy to get around without a car and reach some of the region's most beloved destinations. San Gimignano is also a strategic starting point for exploring charming villages and artistic cities in the vicinity: Volterra, Monteriggioni, Siena, and Certaldo are all within a short distance and offer enchanting itineraries, featuring ancient walls, hilly landscapes, and living traditions. Right in front of the inn runs the Via Francigena, which traverses these lands at a slow and evocative pace, making the area even more special for those who enjoy walking and discovering Tuscany step by step. Here, amidst art, history, and flavors, every day can become an unforgettable memory, perhaps ending with a tasting of local products in the ancient taverns of the center, where time seems to stand still and Tuscany tells its story through its cuisine.
