The Hotel Le Renaie is located 5 km away from San Gimignano on the top of the village Pancole, which was once the seat of the Carolingian counts and now is famous for the Sanctuary dating back to 1600 with the precious “Madonna of Pancole”, painted in ‘400 by Pier Francesco Fiorentino. The hotel was established in the ’70s, adding few rooms to the already famous restaurant Leonetto, by Mr. Leonetto Sabatini who had understood the potential of a trend undervalued at that time, that is the tourism in the countryside. Le Renaie was certainly one of the first design hotel, furnished about 40 years ago by a well-known interior designer, Francesco Ridolfi, who introduced a new concept of Tuscan country-style furniture, very delicate and sophisticated, almost romantic. The Sabatini family is still managing the hotel, which has been constantly renovated and improved, without distorting the original atmosphere.

The history of the Restaurant Leonetto started in the ‘60s when Leonetto Sabatini opened in Pancole, a rural village 5 km away from San Gimignano, a country emporium selling goods of all kinds. Shortly, thanks to the enterprise of Mr. Leonetto and to the support of his wife Miriana, the emporium was widened with an adjacent small room where tasty cold meats, salami and cheese-based snacks were served.
