Tenuta Guardastelle

An amazing agriturismo located just below San Gimignano in Tuscany. We have stayed here 8-9 times over the years and it seems to get better every visit. Beautiful rooms and apartments. Cooking classes, wine and olive oil tastings, breakfast and dinner options. Lovely pool and gardens. Amazing views of the Tuscan landscape and San Gimignano ( which is a short walk away up a quiet back road).

What can I say! This was our favorite place we stayed during our honeymoon, my only wish was that we stayed longer. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed by staff and were truly stunned by the gorgeous views. The rooms have a traditional feel with tasteful decor, and you can tell they have updated them as needed and keep their place super clean. We stayed in Teresa, and wow the view and the sunrise in the morning was picturesque!! The breakfast was delicious to start the day off. We also did participate in the full wine tour, which was lovely and informative. Lots of other wineries in the area and the town of San Gimignano was about a 20-25 minute walk.

Guardastelle is an incredible bed and breakfast and winery. We had an exceptional time over just a 3-night stay and would highly recommend the place to anyone thinking of staying around the San Gimignano area--you won't regret it! The staff, especially Aurora, and part-owner Fausto are all wonderful hosts. We had an apartment which was very spacious and had all that we needed to make our own meals and make ourselves at home. The food that was served for breakfast and lunch was excellent, and the wine is very good as well! I look forward to the next time we get a chance to visit the area and seek out Guardastelle too!
