Idyllic Italy escape amongst the hills of San Gimignano

• Truly Tuscan: Perched on hillside looking towards San Gimignano, Cappuccina Country Resort has stellar views. From your lofty setting you’ve a bird’s-eye view over the swaying cypresses, vineyards, olive groves and tumbledown, honey-hued stone villages that characterise this part of Tuscany - there’s so much to see within a short distance of the hotel, exploring the area is a breeze whether you’re keen on wine tasting, gastronomic discovery or natural wonders.
  
  
• Relaxing rooms: After long days exploring, the hotel’s comfortable bedrooms promise a good night's sleep. Rooms have panoramic views of the surrounding hills so you can wake up every morning to beautiful Tuscan vistas, and each one is equipped with big beds and air conditioning to ensure the perfect temperature. Each of the bedrooms is beautifully appointed with big beds and attractive decor inspired by the colours of Tuscany.
  
  
• Flavours of Italy: The Art Nouveau building has a bright and welcoming restaurant where you can taste all the flavours of the region, from dishes reminiscent of Tuscan ‘cucina povera’ to more refined options given a contemporary twist, like delicate pastas and risottos. The menu is accompanied by a whole range of wines sourced from the surrounding hills, including the robust and ever-popular rich red Chianti Classico.
