We stayed here for a week's holiday in August and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had a room in the Annex to the hotel right next to the pool, however we weren't disturbed by the pool as it was fairly small and we only saw adults in it. The pool was clean and well maintained, with sun loungers surrounding it. Our room was comfortable, had aircon, tea-making facilities, a fridge, a great shower, plenty of clothes storage and was cleaned every day. The buffet breakfast in the hotel was excellent: tea, coffee, juices, cereals, breads, cakes, cold meats and cheeses, boiled eggs, fruits, yogurt, and all sorts of jams and accompaniments. They even had decaf coffee for us odd sorts :-) There is one restaurant within walking distance which is good, very welcoming, but not cheap. We found a few other restaurants within a short drive that were good value with good food, Il Monte pizzeria great for pizza, pasta or something more exotic like wild boar cooked in chocolate (amazing!), La Locanda del Borgo with a great set menu and Fattoria di Mugnano - the hotel kindly gave us a list of places to eat nearby, which was helpful. Castel san Gimignano isn't really waking distance of anywhere so you need a car, but a great base to experience Tuscany from.
