When we came down the stairs for breakfast our first morning at La Cornice, the view that greeted us was nothing short of exquisite! It took my breath away and actually gave me butterflies! Even if everything else about this sweet little B&B had been mediocre (it wasn’t!) I’d stay here again. The whole experience was just so lovely. The sweet, sweet garden that allows you to sit and relax and absorb the beauty makes it hard to leave for sightseeing (and shopping) adventures. And our host, Benedetta, was great! I was concerned when I booked this stay that its location was outside the walls … but that turns out to be its biggest asset … the view of San Gimignano itself. And the walk to the town is shorter and easier than it seems … under 10 minutes (and we are old and slow).

The property is really beautiful, and we had an amazing time staying in La Cornice. We had everything we needed during our short weekend stay in this breathtaking city of San Gimignano. The location is perfect !! and is in a quiet neighbourhood, however minutes a way by foot from supermarkets, restaurants, and the amazing 5 towers in the old town of San Gimignano. Benedetta, the owner, she's the sweetest, she sent us very detailed information & and a video about how we checked ourselves in, hours before we arrived, and it was super easy. Well, we didn't see her till breakfast time the next day. Paid parking is available at the property, and we need to let them know to reserve a spot. The room is spacious with a balcony, and we had all the amenities we needed, such as extra pillows. A small fridge is also available in the room, this is a huge advantage for us, as we did quite a lot of shopping. Glasses or mugs are available in the common area for us to use, and also a fridge full of locals wine to try. And the garden ?? It's just stunning overlooking the old town ... we used to just sit while drinking wine and see the dramatic view in front of us.

It's not my downside, but it might not fit for family with small children due to stairs towards the rooms. Just fyi

This is the best property we have ever stayed at. The views were incredible, like I’ve never seen before. The breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious and the room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We had the Sophia Loren room and the bed and pillows were comfortable and the bathroom was large and nice shower. We even had a nap and then enjoyed some wine on the lounge chairs overlooking the views of San Gimignano. The gardens were lovely and the birds were chirping. It was located a short 5 minute walk in to beautiful San Gimignano walled town. We had a car so we chose to pay the small fee to park close to the B&B. Benedetta, the host, was a beautiful soul who obviously has a passion for her place and for San Gimignano. This was a dream come true for us.

When we were about to arrive, Benedetta messaged us that she upgraded our room because another couple had decided to stay longer, so the 2 bedroom suite was available for us. What a nice surprise that our daughter could have her own room! The suite decor was gorgeous and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast out on the patio was delicious and the view of San Gimignano was breathtaking. Benedetta was the perfect hostess and she was extremely kind. She gave a great recommendation for a dinner location with a view which we enjoyed thoroughly.

Place was super clean with a view which can be best described as ‘postcard’ worthy. Host Benedetta is wonderful, kind and very considerate. She arranged a truly local Chianti tour for us with a local guide Bruno, who took us to beautiful smaller towns and villages which will never feature on any itinerary otherwise. Breakfast at property was great too with multiple options and Benedetta even arranged early breakfast for our early morning trips. Unforgettable experience for us, especially late evening visits to the old Sam Gimignano area after daily crowd is gone. It’s just a quick walk away from property

We absolutely loved our stay at B&B La Corniche! The location is perfect — very central with easy parking, and the views are simply stunning. The rooms were spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and well equipped for a B&B. Check-in was super easy and uncomplicated, and Benedetta, the lovely host, really goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and ensure you have everything you need. The breakfast was super good, and we would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone visiting San Gimignano. We will certainly return — such a great place!

The property will suit those who want to be out of the old town of San Gimignano. It is in a quiet location with superb views looking towards the historic centre. The views from the breakfast room and garden are amazing. We ate breakfast in the gardens both mornings and it was relaxing and enjoyable with the spectacular views. The rooms are lovely and very clean and having access to the laundry was a bonus. The breakfast was also really good with lots of choices and freshly cooked. Whilst it appears the walk to town would be a long way and hilly, it is in fact not very far at all and a lot of it is a flat walk with a gentle incline at the end. Only takes about 12 minutes. The property also has a small amount of paid parking which is great for those with a car. Most of all, our host Benedetto was amazing. She is very warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Her bubbly personality made our stay even more special. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there again. Wished we had longer!

We loved our stay here. It was an easy walk into the center of San Gimignano. Our room was well appointed and recently remodeled. The bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was very nice, and well thought out. Our host, Benedetta was very communicative with us on WhatsApp and we knew how to reach her easily. The breakfast was very nice each morning, and could be tailored for individuals. The ability to do laundry was a very nice feature. We also enjoyed that she had a nice selection of local wines to enjoy while looking at the city lights.

I have no negative comments about our stay, it was wonderful.

We had the most fantastic stay at B&B La Cornice. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We received such a warm welcome from Bernadetta, who really made our stay special. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We loved the daily breakfast - enjoying traditional home made Italian morning cake and wonderful bruschetta. The B&B is located a short walk into the main area of town, so it’s easy to get to but you enjoy the silence and peace of being away from the bustle. We will remember the beautiful view forever.

Our greatest regret is that we didn’t book for longer. We will be back!

Well equipped spacious rooms, immaculately presented and beautifully furnished. There was even complimentary high quality shampoo, shower gel and hand soap! The breakfasts were fabulous and the service from Benedetta and her family was flawless. Every little detail was covered, right down to the complimentary umbrellas by the door. The location was ideal - just a short walk into the centre of San Gimignano. It was perfect!
