Map & location


San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy

Villasanpaolo Spa Resort sits in classic Tuscan countryside just outside the UNESCO-listed town of San Gimignano. A cluster of farmhouses, olive groves and vineyards surrounds the property, with open views towards the town’s iconic medieval towers.

By day you can wander San Gimignano’s cobbled lanes and sample world-famous gelato, then retreat to the hotel’s quiet gardens and spa. With car hire included, day trips to Siena, Florence, Chianti wine country or Volterra are wonderfully straightforward, following scenic drives through rolling hills and cypress-lined roads.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport car hire only, approx. 1 hr 15 mins from Pisa (PSA).

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


There’s no beach here – this is deep-in-the-countryside Tuscany – but the pool scene more than compensates.

Outdoor Saltwater Pool
An inviting, irregular-shaped pool sits in landscaped gardens with loungers and parasols, open seasonally (typically May–October). The saltwater adds a gentle buoyancy and the surrounding hills provide a cinematic backdrop for lazy days with a book.

Indoor Spa Pool
At the heart of the spa is a heated indoor freshwater pool with whirlpool sections and relaxation areas. Large windows bring in natural light and connect you to the countryside even when you’re inside, making it a great option in spring and autumn.

Free pool towels are provided for guests, and facilities may vary slightly by season.

FAQs
Is Villasanpaolo Spa Resort in walking distance of San Gimignano?
The resort sits in the countryside about 6.3km from San Gimignano’s historic centre, so it is not a comfortable walk for most guests. With car hire included, it’s an easy 10–15 minute drive, or you can use the nearby bus stop (around 450m away) for local services.
Is car hire really included, and do I need a car?
Yes – car hire is included as part of your Travelisto package at Villasanpaolo Spa Resort. While you can relax entirely at the hotel, having a car is highly recommended for exploring the wider Tuscan region, visiting hill towns, vineyards and nearby cities such as Siena and Florence at your own pace.
What is the atmosphere like – is it more couples, friends or families?
The overall feel is peaceful and grown-up, with a focus on spa, relaxation and slow Tuscan living. Children are welcome (child age up to 12 years), but there are no formal kids’ clubs or water slides, so the resort suits couples, friends and quiet family breaks rather than lively family holidays.
Are the pools heated and when are they open?
The indoor freshwater pool in the spa is heated and typically open from early spring to late December, making it a good option outside summer. The outdoor saltwater pool is usually unheated and operates roughly from May to October, depending on weather and occupancy.
Do I need to book spa treatments in advance?
Spa access and many facilities can be arranged in resort, but we recommend pre-booking massages and beauty treatments once you have your travel dates, especially in peak periods and weekends, to secure preferred times. Treatments and some thermal facilities incur a local charge.
What board basis should I choose – Bed and Breakfast or Half Board?
Bed and Breakfast is ideal if you plan to dine out in San Gimignano or other towns most evenings. Half Board works well if you prefer relaxed dinners on-site after a day’s exploring, with breakfast and dinner included at the hotel and lunch taken during your day trips.
Is there free Wi‑Fi at Villasanpaolo Spa Resort?
Yes. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the hotel, including rooms and most public areas, so you can plan day trips, stream content or keep in touch easily.
