I’ll get straight to the point: all the glowing reviews of this property are deserved.
1) The home is very comfortable, charming and well-equipped. 2) The location is spectacular. We couldn’t get enough of the views out the second story windows, the changing light throughout the day highlighting the beauty of the surroundings. 3) The adjunctive optional guide, Pia, and Italian chef, Kati, added so much to the experience. Pia expressed it best: Kati is a force of nature, yet sweet, calm and so, so skilled. If Kati ran a restaurant, it would certainly earn Michelin status. And Pia couldn’t do enough for us. We employed her as our guide through San Gimignano and are quite glad we did. She provides so much extemporaneous humor during her tour as well as a deep history of the town itself.
I will be recommending this place to all our family and friends and hope to return to Belvedere one day again soon.
