I love visiting Sabolini because it's like visiting a friend's lovely peaceful home on a Tuscan hillside with beautiful grounds. Built in the 15th century, Sabolini has beautiful well appointed rooms with high carved Tuscan ceilings, generous well equipped marble bathrooms, comfortable beds. There is a pleasant pool looking at the hills, a spacious living room, attractive bar, and an enormous terrace for sun, dining and gatherings. The cuisine is tasty Tuscan specialties in charming dining rooms or al fresco. Extensive breakfast buffet is free, as is onsite parking and wifi. Ownership and management is a service oriented genial Italian family with sons in charge of Villa Sabolini, Borgo San Luigi, a San Gemignano restaurant and a Florence Hotel. They can arrange interesting day trips. I relax with the gracious resident St. Bernard in a gorgeous tranquil setting. And I love to walk there. Out the front gate there is a small picturesque church and a few dwellings that immediately give way to vistas, vineyards and olive orchards. Wonderful place to walk. Easy drive to Siena, Florence, the Chianti hills, and much more.
