Bel Soggiorno

Stayed here for 4 nights for one of my husband and my honeymoon stops in early August this year. Fantastic location as it’s right near the main city entrance in the South, on the main street, and near the main square. And for a peak season, it was only about € 70 /​night (booked through Expedia), has friendly staff, includes wifi, AND has a/​c in the room! Breakfast isn’t included but is an additional € 6 /​person for a continental breakfast. Not the most varying breakfast options but the restaurant does have a fantastic view of the Tuscan rolling hills.
There’s no parking (as it’s inside the city walls) but there are two lots that are really close by. The lot that’s closest to the Southern entrance P2 is very pricey at € 20 /​day. But if you go a little more South down a bit of the hill near the roundabout, you can park at P1 where it’s only € 6 /​day.
Here’s more on parking:

Great local wine. Risotto was absolutely perfect– they nailed the consistency and texture. The view was incredible. Definitely a gem among overly touristy eateries.

Great quiet room with amazing views of the rolling hills!
Breakfast was delicious with sunrise!
Excellent service with great staff at front desk recommended lovely place for dinner Le Vecchie Mura just go up the hill than under archway — lovely gem!
Also there is a lovely lgallery on the way back with sculpture by Antonio Breschi and other abstract artists!

Came here without reservations when the restaurant opened at 7:30pm. That night, they had 4 twosome tables set aside by the front of the restaurant for walk-​ins. So we didn’t get a view, but we did get some great food. I followed our waiter’s advice on what to order and I wasn’t disappointed. Been in Italy for 2 weeks now and this is one of the meals I’ll remember. Loved my zucchini and onion soup, wish there was more of it in the bowl. It’s a purée consistency with lots of flavor. I also got the risotto which I haven’t eaten at all on our 2 week trip. It was a veggie risotto which after 2 weeks of eating so much meat, it was a very refreshing change to just have a vegetarian meal! The rest of the menu has plenty of meat to choose from.
Two appetizers, 2 pastas, water, cover, ½ bottle of wine came out to be 57 Euros.

Great views. Great wine. Great food. Great service. Cannot say enough about this spot. DO NOT miss when you’re in San Gimignano!

Restaurant avec une vue panoramique époustouflante sur la magnifique Toscane.
Très bonne cuisine qui plaira aux plus fins gourmets.

Possibly the restaurant with the best view in Italy.
Set in the beautiful and majestic San Gimignano, the restaurant boasts a panoramic view over the surrounding countryside. Rolling hills, olive trees, vineyards and hill towns as far as the eye can see.
The restaurant itself is a little more up market than some of the others in the town. Luckily the quality of food matches the higher prices. We ate at lunch time without booking — but I suggest you reserve a table for dinner in the high season.
