wunderschönes B&B
Das B&B La Corniche liegt wunderschön in einem Wohngebiet mit sensationellem Blick auf San Gimignano. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, der Frühstücksraum entzückend, ebenso das Retrogeschirr. Benedetta ist sehr liebenswürdig, sie hat unseren Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir können es nur empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.

Great place to stay!
Benedetta was very welcoming and helpful to us, especially with site seeing and the local transportation. We had a private apartment that was nicely decorated, modern and very clean. The grounds were lovely and the view of San Gimignano was amazing!

Under the San Gimignano Sun at La Cornice
From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were mesmerized by the view and the gorgeous gardens. Benedetta greeted us as if we were long time friends and it is how we felt our entire stay. She is from the region and with a long ancestry to share. Much of the B&B’s decor is restored pieces from her family. Breakfast is a mixture of wonderful Italian recipes and an assortment of tasty, continental breakfast foods. One walks away fortified and ready to explore the medieval town of San Gimignano. We suggest you spend some time in Benedetta’s garden sipping a local wine, watching the sunset or simply taking a relaxing break. No matter what you choose to do, Benedetta will make sure your stay at La Cornice (which means frame by the way) is “perfecto.”

About the host

Hosted by Benedetta Calonaci

Host profile image
My name is Benedetta Calonaci, I was born and I live in San Gimignano. Together with my family we manage this bed & breakfast and two apartments in the historic center and we take care of our customers with dedication and attention in order to make their holiday a unique experience, trying to make our guests spend a pleasant holiday at the same time make it feel at home.

Why they chose this property

I do this activity with great passion and dedication because I really like to stay in contact with the many people who come to visit our beautiful city. I try to offer a quality service, as careful as possible to the needs of my clients. My greatest satisfaction is when, at the end of their holiday, my guests tell me they have had a great holiday, which they loved my own apartment and hope to return to San Gimignano. Well, this is something that makes me very, very happy because I understand that my work has served to push through a brief period of joy and happiness to my customers.
I do not have a luxury hotel, and this is why I try to base and direct my activity on a human level, and of contact with the person in front of me, trying to meet the needs of my clients and trying to rediscover the great hospitality that characterizes us, as well as the values and tradition of our beautiful village of San Gimignano.

What makes this property unique

The breathtaking view of the towers of San Gimignano which is perceived by the garden is amazing. The our accomodation is called "La Cornice" a picture that is San Gimignano! All this is only a 6-minute walk away from the Old Town; it's great to park your car and relax after a day spent discovering the beauties of our city ... and it's like being inside the city!
