Positives: Excellent location on the main square. Large room (No. 88) with clean bathroom. Quiet. Great views of the Tuscan countryside from our room, the restaurant and the breakfast room. Negatives: Breakfast choice is limited; there is a charge for WiFi; staff spraying tables with disinfectant at breakfast time was overpowering.

This is our favourite hotel and town in Italy. The hotel is charming, the staff are wonderful and caring, the rooms are very comfortable, in character, and the views are to die for. Every evening you can watch the birds circling and then settling down in little niches within the walls and the buildings at night. The birds also gently... More

Perfectly located in the centre of the town and the restaurant has both fabulous views and excellent food. Upper floors get the views as well. Room quite small and simple but perfectly adequate and staff very helpful. Nice bathroom goodies.

Worth the price if only for the views but everything was great, anyway. Spacious deluxe double room with private balcony and stunning views. Quiet, comfortable and all staff are very friendly and obliging. The hotel restaurant is great as well.

I visited San Gimignano 25 years ago while on a Euro Bike tour through Italy. I vowed to return and as luck would have it, managed to book back into the same hotel. Very quaint. Love this little town. After the tourists leave it is quiet and peaceful. Hotel can use some upgrading but it is charming.

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
