Description

The rooms and apartments of San Gimignano of the Busini Rossi Carla Holiday look out onto a historical centre that has been declared a cultural and natural world heritage site by UNESCO.

Exclusive locations in the streets of the hamlet, within prestigious buildings and unforgettably charming apartments that combine a classic décor, with antique furniture, stone walls, wooden ceilings, and Tuscan terracotta floors, with all the modern comforts to satisfy the guests’ every need.

In front of the fireplace after a delicious dinner or on the terrace enjoying a glass of Vernaccia, you can admire the splendid towers, the Piazza della Cisterna, and the beautiful panorama of the Tuscan countryside.

Amongst the buildings of the historical centre is the Palazzo Tortoli, built at the beginning of the fourteenth century, a time when San Gimignano was in its heyday. In the palace, difficult to describe in words, with its Gothic façade enriched by two pairs of particularly fine mullioned windows, you can relive the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

All B&B Ponte a Nappo amenities available in the countryside (WI-FI, swimming-pool, garden, parking, picnic area, children’s playground, etc.) are also at the complete disposal of guests staying at our historical center facilities, and they are free of charge.

Hey from Carla

Member since March 2015 | 31,886 hits

At the end of 1979, when San Gimignano wasn’t again destination of tourists from all the world, I began to rent the apartment “Santa Fina”, “the first”, of whom I am very fond because it accompanied me during the years and for its wonderful view from the big terrace.

Little by little I began to rent other apartments and bedrooms scattered along the historical centre of the city. In 2000 I opened with my son Francesco “Palazzo Tortoli”, a palace of the fourteen century in the wonderful Cisterna Square, a luxury palace of big architectonic importance, marked in all the most important international guides.

At the end, in 2002 we opened “Podere Ponte a Nappo”, a beautiful farmhouse with swimming pool recently restored and completely plunged in the green. From here we can enjoy the wonderful view of the Tuscan countryside and of the city of San Gimignano, which is in front of the farmhouse at only 900 m and easily reachable by feet in 10 minutes.

I give hospitality every year with my sons Francesco and Andrea to tourists from all the world, with whom we entertain in long conversations, seated in the garden in front of the towers of San Gimignano, tasting a good glass of wine. The most important thing which give us satisfaction are the guess, who every year come back and recommend our apartments to friends and relatives.

Hoping to leave a good memory of us and of your holiday in San Gimignano, I will be happy with my sons Francesco and Andrea to give you hospitality.

I wait you!
Carla.

The structure is located in a very beautiful ancient palace, the rooms are well furnished and equipped with a TV, mini fridge and in the morning a plentiful breakfast is offered. The property is located in the main square (nearby there is a tobacco shop, a pharmacy and restaurants). We really enjoyed our stay, the owner is very helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend spending a holiday in this wonderful village.

In a special period like this, the host Andrea welcomed us (the only guests of the B&B Palazzo Tortoli) with great and genuine kindness. Delicious and abundant breakfast (Andrea even asked us what we preferred to eat before our arrival). The room was clean and wonderful, like a medieval fairy tale. Thank you so much Andrea! Martina and Michele.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Martina e Michele, È stato veramente un piacere ospitarvi. Spero si rivedervi presto, magari a fare un bagno in piscina a Ponte a Nappo e a degustare un calice di vino. Magari Michele ci prepara anche un drink. Un abbraccio Andrea.

Great location, in the countryside with fabulous views of the fortress and countryside. (Close to the fortress) Relaxing. Sweet family-run business. They were very helpful in making arrangements and communicating via email internationally. Not high-end, pleasant country atmosphere and decor. I believe they might air dry their towels. They were fresh but stiff. Didn't use the kind-of-infinity pool, it certainly enhanced the ambiance while sitting outside having a glass of wine in the evening or for our continental breakfast.

Magnificent palace in the heart of San Gimignano. Access to B&B Palazzo Tortoli with pool is also very appreciated! I recommend!

The location in the middle of town on Piazza Cisterna was ideal, though it was noisy in the early morning on market day. Good view of the square. The Bifore room was large and well furnished with bed, chest, armoire, small table, 2 chairs, settee. The lighting however was pretty dim at night. Bathroom was small and spartan. Breakfast was good, though not fancy, and the breakfast lady was very nice and hospitable. The long walk (about 10 minutes) to the parking space was not particularly difficult except for the day it was raining hard and we got soaking wet. The main office at BB Ponte a Nappo was hard to locate initially. Unknown to me, the B&B tried to preauthorize/charge the remainder of my bill before I arrived and then wrote to say that they would need to cancel my reservation because my card would not process. I thought this was a little brusque as I had already paid a deposit. Indeed I had made reservations at 2 other B&Bs in other locations for this trip, and was not required to pay any deposit, much less one that was non-refundable.
