Having waited since before lockdown to experience Tuscany, we were not disappointed with our chosen hotel. Hotel Sovestro is a hidden gem and one we can't wait to return to. We had a magical 10 days. Even before we arrived we knew we had made a good choice as response to emails was prompt and made us feel really looked after. On arrival and throughout our holiday, every member of staff was extremely friendly and eager to please; nothing was too much of a problem and we were always greeted with a warm 'Buongiorno!' What we loved: ...the hotel's calm and relaxing atmosphere. There is a gentle hum of busyness throughout the day with quiet chatter (in lots of different languages) and the *****ing of glasses - but nothing to disturb our peace. ...the hotel's facilities, they are spot-on. The two pools have different features that give you the impression that you are in two different hotels. The poolside bar/snacks service was perfect and always delivered with a smile. The secure car park is large so we never struggled to park the car. The free shuttle bus was great - with 5 runs a day, (really helpful when faced with a hill in the heat!) ... Ristorante da Pode. We ate in the restaurant twice and were so impressed with our meals - all home-cooked Tuscan food that was perfectly presented and - again - served with a smile. We particularly loved the 'sheep's cheese pudding' and the tomato bruschetta. I think we could easily eaten there every night if we hadn't wanted to also eat out in neighbouring towns. A wonderful touch came on our 25th Wedding Anniversary, when the hotel staff gave us a treat with our meal. A lovely surprise. ...our room, it was a triple with patio, (me, my husband and our 16 year old). It was plenty big enough as the patio gave us extra space. The beds were so comfy, with crisp white linen and perfect pillows. The air-conditioning was a dream as temperatures reached 34 degrees outside. We hadn't expected a fridge and safe but both were welcome additions! ...the hotel's breakfast! What can we say! All carefully prepared with a wide variety of options from scrambled egg to hams & cheeses, from fruit and muesli to freshly baked pasties and cakes. Not forgetting the freshly squeezed orange juice (oh how we are missing it!) and coffee that hit the spot. It was a highlight of our day to sit on the sunny terrace in the morning, planning our trips whilst filling our tummies. Just perfect. ...the hotel is immaculately kept. All areas of the hotel are spotless without any signs of wear and tear. The Failli family and their team obviously work very hard to maintain high standards for their guests. ... the hotel's location. Wow. San Gimignano is now a firm favourite, with its tall towers and rustic squares. Unforgettable. Climb the Torre Grossa - what a view! There's plenty of parking around the edges of the town but getting there before 10.30am makes this easier - it takes 5 mins to drive. The town is linked to the hotel by a gravel farm tra
