Directions & Parking

Go to category

How can I drive to the front of the hotel to unload my baggage?



Our hotel is located in the historic center, in an enchanting position but subject to ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone). It is possible to arrive by car up to the entrance to unload your luggage: in this case we kindly ask you to let us know your vehicle's license plate number in advance, so that we can authorize access

The car must then be parked in the P3 and P4 parking lots. Parking lots  3/4  are public. Google maps Parking 3-4

Press the button at the entrance to receive a ticket, which you can then use to exit the parking lot by paying at the automatic pay station. 
If you're staying more than a day, you can purchase a discounted card after checking in at the hotel, which you can use for your entire stay without paying at the automatic pay station.

WHAT WE RECOMMEND:

If you have little luggage or suitcases with wheels, you can park directly at parking lots No. 3/4, use the elevator across the street under the trees that will take you to the walls of the historic center, walking to the hotel on the central St. Matteo Street via St. Martino Street. 

It is about 300 meters mostly flat. It is a good choice if you want to avoid entering/exiting the historic center by car. It is a short, quiet and suggestive walk, to enter the slow rhythm of the city and immediately begin to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the place.


IF YOU NEED TO GET TO THE HOTEL BY CAR

You can reach the hotel by car  from Porta S.Jacopo after the Bagnania Parkings n.3-4, follow Via Folgore da S.Gimignano - Via XX Settembre *** - Via S.Matteo 87 

*** As you can see in the photo below, once you reach the top of Via XX Settembre you will see these signs that force you to go left, however you are authorized to continue for the remaining 20 meters to enter main street San Matteo up to the hotel.
The hotel is located approximately 30 meters on the left, however, being one way road, we invite you to drive backwards to the hotel, so that you will then be ready to drive back to the car park from the same road you came.

Did you book on the online agencies?

Tips

Why does the tourist tax have to be paid in cash?

The tourist tax is a personal municipal tax, and our property acts solely as a withholding agent, collecting it on behalf of the local municipality.
Unfortunately, the municipality has not provided us with a dedicated electronic payment terminal for this tax, so we are required to collect it in cash only.

For your convenience, there is an ATM just 20 meters from the hotel.
