The splendid Villa Alba, dating back to 1800, is located just a few minutes from the historic center of San Gimignano, in an ideal position to reach the main tourist attractions such as Siena, Florence, Volterra, Certaldo, Pisa and the Chianti area.
Surrounded by a charming Italian garden with a pool equipped with a Jacuzzi and a solarium, the villa offers a peaceful place to relax in the sun or in the shade of a wisteria pergola.
Managed by a family, Villa Alba guarantees the attention and personalized service of the owners, ready to meet every need of the guests.
The six rooms, located on the raised ground floor and first floor, are uniquely furnished and carefully designed, offering a welcoming atmosphere. With two windows, the rooms are bright and fresh even during the summer. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, TV, WIFI connection, air conditioning, and independent heating for the winter. You can choose between a double bed or two single beds, with the possibility of adding a crib for children up to 3 years old (baby bed) or a bed for children up to 11 years old (junior bed).
The breakfast room is located in the basement of Villa Alba, which has been restored from an old cellar to create a cozy and familiar atmosphere. It can be accessed both internally and externally through the garden. The buffet breakfast is served every morning from 8:30 to 9:30 and includes a variety of beverages such as milk, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, orange or pineapple juice. Additionally, you will find cereals, jams, honey, chocolate, toast, croissants, and much more. We are particularly proud to offer our guests Tuscan cold cuts and cheeses, delicious bruschetta with oil or tomato, and on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter, traditional Tuscan sweets as well. These are always highly appreciated by our guests.
"The Stella" Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in San Gimignano. It was established in the late 1800s as a trattoria and accommodation for the first foreign tourists visiting the city.
For over a century, "The Stella" has been serving traditional Tuscan cuisine. The recipes have been passed down from generation to generation, without ever altering the proportions or ingredients. That's why the dishes still retain their authentic flavor today.
"The Stella" Restaurant is located in the heart of the historic center of San Gimignano, just a stone's throw from Porta San Matteo, the city's north gate. If you choose to be our guests, you can enjoy our dishes in a welcoming, family-friendly, and historically-rich environment. In fact, the restaurant is housed in an ancient building dating back to the 1200s, and still preserves some of the original materials such as stones and bricks, as well as the ancient architecture with arches, vaults, and niches. This makes it unique and charming.
In our menu, you can choose from dishes of traditional Tuscan cuisine, known as "cucina povera". But don't be deceived by the name, because it is rich in history and ancient flavors. You can savor our famous "Pappardelle al cinghiale", a handmade pasta with wild boar sauce flavored with garlic and rosemary. Or our renowned "Crostini toscani" with chicken liver and Vin Santo. You must not miss the "Ribollita", a soup with bread, beans, vegetables, and raw olive oil, served in characteristic Tuscan "coccini". And to conclude, the delicious "Cantuccini", cookies made with dough and almonds, to be enjoyed with Vin Santo, the sweet Tuscan dessert wine.. and many other dishes made according to ancient recipes and with original ingredients. But the true ingredients that can never be missing are love and passion.

Hello, my name is Piero and I am the proud owner of Villa Alba. I have devoted my life to this business ever since I was very young. Growing up in San Gimignano, it was natural for me to follow this professional path. However, I am convinced that if I had been born in another city, I would still have chosen this job because it has always been my passion. The smile of my clients is the greatest reward I can receive from my work.
In addition to Villa Alba, I am also the owner of the restaurant "La Stella," located in the historic center of San Gimignano. The restaurant is managed by my talented son Paolo, who will delight you with typical dishes from our wonderful Tuscan land. You can taste specialties such as the famous "Fiorentina" steak, pappardelle with wild boar sauce, tasty "Ribollita," and much more. Don't forget to accompany your meals with our fine wines, such as "Vernaccia di San Gimignano," Chianti Classico, and Vin Santo, to be enjoyed with the famous "Cantuccini" biscuits.
I manage Villa Alba together with my beloved family, but above all with the indispensable help of Mama Irma. She takes care of the guests' breakfast, ensuring that everything is always fresh and ready at the right time. I am sure you will have a happy and peaceful vacation at Villa Alba, and I hope you will come back to visit us periodically, like many other guests.
Please do not hesitate to share your problems or desires with me. I will be at your disposal for anything you need. However, I apologize for my imperfect English and French. I am confident that we will still be able to understand each other without any problems.
Our villa is located just a short distance from the magnificent historic center of San Gimignano, which you will have the chance to comfortably explore on foot, while your car will be safely parked in the private parking of the property.
