I live in Italy and have done the "Tuscany" visit many times. I have stayed in a few different towns, but so far this hotel continues to be a favorite (I've stayed here 4 times!). This hotel is a great location (if you have a car) and is just about equidistant from San Gimignano and Siena. There are a variety of nice winerys nearby and the overall hotel value is excellent. The shared rooms are very large and comfortable. The single rooms are also large and accomodating. If you want that very "Italian countryside" feeling, this would be a great hotel choice. Their staff are wonderfully friendly. Breakfast is excellent with plenty of gluten free options (eggs, yogurt, fruit, veggies, ham, cheese), along with all your traditional/common breakfast goods of crossaints, tortes, etc. The pool is amazing in summertime season. Clean and views for days. Parking is ample and free. My only complaint is that in some of the rooms, the showers had some mold and needed new caulking. But overall I really enjoy this hotel and will continue to return to it on any future trips to the Tuscany region.
