We had a great stay in this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They own a winery down the street and sent us there for a complimentary tasting. The winery is run by the family and they were very fun and informative.
The hotel breakfast was very nice. Their baked goods were fresh and delicious. They could refresh their eggs, as I did receive a rotten one and the coffee always tasted burnt which may just need a cleaning on the coffee maker. The rooms were small but decorated nicely and very clean. The location was a short drive to San Gimignano, which had nice restaurants and shopping. I do believe they were under construction because I had workers on the roof outside of the bedroom window. Could use some better drapes for the privacy. Overall it was a very nice stay.

Lovely family and great vinyard down the road
Fantastic hospitality and service. We booked a one night stay (very late as we were at the superb vineyard down the road and arrived after just 2 hours later) but this was no trouble. We were greeted first by the owner's lovely daughter and then the owner who made us feel welcome immediately. The room was basic but very clean and pretty. A nice touch to be able to buy beer, wine, snacks etc. out of hours from the large 'minibar' fridge in the hall ir local chianti in the room. The breakfast was very nice....the home made sponge cake was a highlight! I could eat that every day. Hope to go back one day. Thanks!

a short drive from st giminiano
proprietor charming, breakfast generous, room pleasant. two problems: dsl internet extremely unreliable due to carrier problems, and air con is on a timer so may not be available when you want it. it's off during bizarre hours 1am to 7am, maybe noon to 4pm? hotel is directly on road to st gim so passing traffic can be loud. overall, we liked it.

Highly recommended! Could not ask for better service. The accommodation is perfect... clean, comfortable and friendly. The building goes back to the 11th century although renovated to a hotel it has kept much of the original structure (amazing).
Elio and Alexandria are absolutely the best hosts, you cannot help but be sad to leave. When our rental car company failed to deliver our car Elio came to pick us up at the train station and arranged for a car rental in San Gimignano for us and drove us there the next day to get the car. (Saved our stay in San Gimignano)
Breakfast is homemade and could not be better. Elio made us dinner the night we arrived and it was delicious.
A great big thank you to Elio, we are so glad to have met you.

Charming bnb in pretty location. Elio, the owner and host, is always so kind and gracious. Lovely, generous breakfast including some of their homemade breakfast cakes and slice of homemade pizza! Room, and it’s en-suite, good size. Practical location close by for San Gimignano, and Volterra scenic half hr away and worth it. Very glad we stayed here!

A Tuscan Gem
Don’t let the somewhat beaten-up outside of the building put you off from booking this place. Its history is part of the charm. The inside common areas were quaint; my bedroom and private bathroom were spotless; the included breakfast was much better than average for Italy; the views of the vineyard and rolling hills were worthy of a FaceBook post; and the host was charming and very helpful. The only drawbacks, which for me were quite minor, were that the heat seemed to be on a timer and the refrigerator in the lobby with soda, water, and wine for purchase were lukewarm. If you drink red, that shouldn’t be a problem! San Gimignano is a 15-minute car ride away as well. I highly recommend the Hotel Vecchio Asilo for a genuine Tuscan experience.

Countryside inn, wonderful hospitality
Hotel Vecchio Asilo is perched on a hill a short drive from San Gimignano and is, our host Elio told us, about a thousand years old. Our bedroom looked out over the vineyards of Tuscany -- ah! Elio is the soul of hospitality. He served fresh baked pastries and focaccia every morning and made us dinner one night for a reasonable fee that included homemade pasta and tomatoes fresh from the garden. Elio trained in hospitality and was ever ready to offer suggestions for our travels. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel, very convenient location.
Our stay at Vecchio Asilo was spectacular. The hotel is clean and charming. Our host was most gracious and friendly. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and can still taste the delicious breakfast we ate each morning. This was an experience we will never forget and we cannot stress enough that host Elio is one of the most kindest person we have ever met. Una vacanza indimenticabile!

A must stay when visiting San Gimignano!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Vecchio Asilo. Everything from the clean and comfortable room, to the incredible sunsets and not to mention the convenient location to San Gimingnano, we had a fantastic time. Elio and Stefania are amazing hosts. You feel the love they have for the region and the willingness to share it with others. It''s a must stay in my book! Enjoy!!

Beautiful location with superb service
We had the good fortune to select this hotel at Ulignano for our exploration of San Germigiano, Poggibonsi, Monteriggioni and Siena. The owners welcomed us warmly, in a way typical of Tuscan hospitality and we were made to feel genuinely welcome there not just because we were guests at the hotel. Our room was beautiful and offered breathtaking views of the fantastic countryside from its windows. The breakfasts were home made and delicious and the locally produced olive oil was used to good effect. We were also provided with comprehensive information about the surrounding area and places of interest which are not widely known about. All in all a perfect place to stay for an exploration of this area. We will definitely return.

What great service from our host. Breakfasts were amazing. Just to note that the establishment is about 8KMs from San Gimignano which is not a problem if you have a vehicle. Our visit was in June and unusually hot for them for this time of the year. There is no swimming pool or airconditioning so at times we felt that after a day of sightseeing it would've been nice to come home to something cool!
