Excellent hotel. we were in a deluxe double at the back of the hotel on the same floor as reception. The room was pleasant, not huge but more than adequate. Good bathroom, plenty of towels. Chose the room as wanted a view and boy did we get one. Fabulous views from our little balcony which has a small table and... More

Wonderful service, location right on the main square with spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside. Breakfast was fresh & yummy and Viviana was always ready with a hot cappuccino & a smile. Dinner in the hotel one evening was exceptional.

Surprised by the small rooms, but thrilled by everything else! Location brilliant, views brillant, ambiance brillant, restaurant and reception staff lovely. Food in restaurant great! Only issue was not much pre- direction re entering the walled city. You can actually drive right to the door to unload the car, then once you park the car later, its a five minute... More

located centrally in the heart of San Gimignano, La Cisterna offers everything a traveler could want. Excellent food, wonderful staff, comfortable rooms and a location central to every site in town. The windows were HUGE and opened to the festive and energetic plaza.

We loved our first room at La Cisterna. The windows were large and opened out to a great view of the plaza. We could sit and see all of the activity below and across the street we saw Italians opening up their windows to do the same thing. We were only going to stay a night but ended up staying... More

We had a week in the area and took two nights in this hotel as a treat - it cost more than I would usually pay. It was raining on arrival but the little walled village of San Gimignano still looked like the fairytale I had imagined. We dragged our very large suitcase up the hill to the square and... More

We stayed in this great hotel, while we went to Andrea Bocelli concert to Lajatico, 50 min drive away. He gives a concert there, in his hometown, once a year in July. Eat before you go to Lajatico, because there are no restaurants in Lajatico. It is a small village. You park your car on the huge field where busses... More

My husband and I have been coming to San Gim. for the past 30 years, and I alternate hotels between the Cisterna and the Leon Bianco in the Piazza Cisterna--the main square of the town--since that's where the action is...shopping, dining, gelato (ice cream--advertised as "the best in the world!--it may not really be the world's greatest, but it's really...

Stayed for two nights and to be honest hotel is a bit tired and in need of a revamp. Room was OK with a big bathroom and was nicely styled with some character, the air con was noisy and not too effective. However we had room 82 which a large and sunny balcony with table and chairs and the view... More
