REVIEWS:

“You simply could not ask for a more scenic view. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. When we checked in, we were told the restaurant was full for the evening, but they prepared a lovely charcuterie tray for us to enjoy with a bottle of their wine, all while watching the sunset over Tuscany. Over the 10 days we spent in Italy, this was by far my favorite place of all of the hotels. I will definitely be back to try out their spa services (we were only there for one night and one night is not enough to fully enjoy all amenities)…..”

“We spent 7 nights at Mormoraia and really fell in love with this place. The location is perfectly situated in San Gimignano with a beautiful view of the city and the landscape. The staff at the hotel always tried to fulfill all our wishes including little gifts and nice words. It’s family owned and as a guest you always have the feeling that they have an eye on every little detail. You cannot ask for more concerning the breakfast. From local dishes to seeds, cereals and all sorts of juices- you cannot wish for more. We had a really nice room in a separated building and really liked the traditional interior and atmosphere. The pool area has always been clean and is nicely situated in the middle of the property. You can enjoy the amazing view directly from the pool and space around. All in all we would definitely recommend this place and we will for sure return in the near future…..”
