Molino di Foci  

Housed in a restored 14th-century watermill in the Tuscan countryside, about 4 km (2.5 miles) from the medieval centre of San Gimignano. Perched on the historic Via Francigena, it’s a short drive to Sovestro in Poggio Winery, the Museum San Gimignano 1300, and roughly 30 km from Siena and Volterra (45 km to Florence).

This boutique hotel blends rustic mill bones with typical Tuscan materials and colors. The property has 14 rooms and two suites, all air-conditioned with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, safes and daily housekeeping. Expect sun-drenched fields of wheat and sunflowers outside and a quietly historic vibe inside — the building is protected by the Belle Arti.

Relax by the outdoor swimming pool with poolside bar and sun loungers, or stroll the garden and terrace. There’s a massage room and pool for water therapies, bikes to rent, a tour desk and concierge to book local excursions, plus free on-site parking and airport shuttle service available for a surcharge.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. The hotel also offers express check-in, luggage storage and a front-desk safe-deposit box.

An on-site restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and a daily complimentary buffet breakfast is offered each morning. Grab a drink at the bar or poolside bar, or pick up a snack at the deli for a laid-back Tuscan start to your day.
