Stay at Poderi Arcangelo in San Gimignano

Poderi Arcangelo is set on a working farm with olive groves, vineyards, and fields. It consists of 3 restored farmhouses located about 500 metres apart, each surrounded by gardens. The main building dates back to the 16th century and houses the reception, breakfast room, and restaurant, while communal terraces offer views of San Gimignano's towers.

The on-site restaurant serves Tuscan cuisine made with seasonal products grown on the farm. Meals can be enjoyed indoors under vaulted ceilings or on the panoramic terrace overlooking the countryside. The hotel also offers a snack bar, special diet menus, and a selection of wine and champagne from its own production.

Each of the three farmhouses has its own private outdoor swimming pool. The main building features an infinity pool with a view, while the other two buildings offer panoramic pools. All pools are seasonal with shallow ends, sun loungers, sun umbrellas, and a pool bar.

Guests can join guided walks, hiking, and walking tours through the property's vineyards and olive groves. The hotel offers a cooking class and bike tours for those who want to explore the area on two wheels. Food tastings of typical Tuscan products grown on site are available, along with massage services.

The hotel is family-friendly with family rooms, babysitting services, and kids' meal options at the restaurant. Other practical services include car hire, a tour desk for excursion planning, and packed lunches for day trips. Meeting and banquet facilities are also available, along with daily housekeeping.
