The Hotel L'Antico Pozzo is situated in the centre of San Gimignano in a superb 15th century town house. The building, listed by Italian Historical Buildings Council, preserves the original style of the 15th century, although the earliest part dates back to the middle ages and the founding of the town itself: traces remain of the well and the area around it. It was donated to a religious order who inhabited it until the end of the 17th century. It acquired international renown as a "salon" for the high society of the late 18th century. Festive gatherings and parties were held in the ballroom which is now the present "Pink Room". Everything has been preserved or reproduced faithfully in order to maintain the charm of this superb town house intact.

The painter Roberto Viani, his wife Paola and his son Cesare truly welcome you. They place their splendid holiday home at disposal of all those who love Tuscany and would like to discover those places and traditions that only a friend on the spot may know. The Locanda Viani is situated at 500 metres from the historical centre of San Gimignano. It is an ancient sighting tower built for the protection of the town (free commune since 1199). The tower has been enlarged later in order to lodge a garrison and a "pellegrinaio" (old Locanda -inn-) in order to restore all the many pilgrims who passed on the near Frankish Road. From the old tower remained the imposing sandstone walls and the splendid view over San Gimignano.
