Casa Laura, San Gimignano Overview
Casa Laura is located in San Gimignano, Italy. Rated 9.2 out of 10 based on 10 guest reviews.
Casa Laura in San Gimignano, IT, is a countryside stay designed for travelers who want easy access to the medieval town without giving up quiet time outdoors. Located in Loc. Santa Maria Roccaia 12 (Borgo La Roccaia), it suits guests who appreciate a road-trip pace and the freedom of staying just outside the busiest streets. With a guest rating of 9.2/10 from 10 reviews, recent visitors consistently highlight the calm setting and the helpful service, including concierge support and practical guidance on local ecosystems and culture.
The outdoor setup is a major draw: you can unwind in the swimming pool and, when conditions are right, enjoy the infinity pool effect for a more dramatic view. The pool is fenced, which many families find reassuring, and the property also maintains a non-smoking environment and non-smoking rooms for a comfortable stay. For days when you want to do more than sightsee, Casa Laura’s cooking class adds a hands-on way to engage with Tuscan flavors.
From here, it’s a short drive to San Gimignano’s historic core, including the Duomo di San Gimignano (about 6 km), the famous Historic Towers (about 6 km), and Piazza della Cisterna (about 6 km). Guests who come for architecture and viewpoints often plan an evening around Rocca of Montestaffoli (about 6 km), then return to the property for a quieter night.
Casa Laura is best for couples and families who want a relaxed base with a pool, free parking, and local context—while still being close enough to explore San Gimignano’s top landmarks each day.
