We booked a room with valley view. Wow! Amazing balcony especially at night when the sun set and there was a breeze. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We tried to drive to the hotel but gave up. Park inP2. It’s about a 10 minute walk uphill from there but once there you are in the center of it all. Both location wise but height wise. You’re at the top of the town. Plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. Highly recommend.

This place is at the center of everything, that being said, to get there is a hike! We parked outside the city walls and walked to the hotel, since we spent only one night we only carried a backpack and we left everything in the car. Dragging a suitcase it’s not a smart move. The hotel Is beautiful and we got a room with a wonderful view. Bed was comfortable and everything spotless. We really enjoyed the convenience of being able to go in and out to the center as we needed a break from walking. Super recommended!

A great stay!

Wonderful place to stay. Spotless, unbeatable location, surprisingly quiet (given that it is directly on Piazza della Cisterna), helpful and cheerful staff. We chose a room with a valley view. Truly outstanding!! Some minor technical quibbles (shower drain loose, lighting difficult to figure out), but we would go back there in a heartbeat.

Right on the piazza and a room with valley view and room was sound proof and quiet. Updated room looks new. Breakfast available for fee. Hotel staff are nice. Parking wasn’t too far. Parked in P2. The trick is get in a line at the entry gates and wait for an opening , green light, then press button to get ticket. You pay on way out next day at the machine which takes tap before you get into your car, then you insert the ticket at the gate when you leave.

We loved our corner room and the patio overlooking the medieval village and Tuscan countryside, a million dollar view! The breakfast was nice, however, getting our car up to the hotel was challenging. Also, there was unpleasant smell coming from toliet, we notified staff, but it continued through our stay. Overall, we would stay there again!

You couldn’t find a more beautiful location! Only downside is when taking luggage it’s a long haul of up and down hills with great inclines. The elevator from the parking lot was out of service……climbing over 40 stairs straight up carrying luggage was quite the job. Then another 10 minute walk up hill to the hotel. Once there it was well worth it! Views stunning choices of restaurants and stores were amazing and the views unreal

This hotel is a fabulous place to stay right in San Gimignano. The room had a spectacular view out over the Tuscan countryside. As it was right inside the walls everything was right there and it was particularly nice early in the morning and in the evening when the crowds have thinned.

Fantastic!

Loved this hotel located in the medieval town of San Gimignano. The views from the valley side rooms are spectacular! Wish we’d been able to get the rooms with the shared terrace. Beds were comfortable, rooms are quiet. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great location. Comfortable and clean.

A comfortable, clean room in a great location. The shower was the only thing not so comfortable. Very small and a rain shower straight down or a powerful wand shower which was difficult to manoeuvre in the small space. But, lots of hot water was good.

Located on the central Piazza the hotel was very convenient to the church and many fine restaurants. The hotel restaurant for breakfast offered a breathtaking view of the town and surrounding Tuscan countryside. The food was fresh, and included a large assortment of breakfast cakes and pies, cheeses, meats, and fantastic espresso and capuchino. Our room had large windows opening up to an amazing view of San Gimignano.

The hotel is really, right in the middle of the historic center. It is a bit of trouble to get to the front of the hotel but, if you follow the instructions that the hotel very kindly provides, then you will be ok.

Old hotel in an old mountain top town. Given the limitations of this environment the Cisterna is a great little hotel that met all of our needs .The Cisterna is located in Cisterna Square in town close to sights, dining and a valley view walkway. The views to the valley from the rooms is amazing. The rooms are a good size and are modernized and comfortable. The staff is great (friendly and helpful). Many choices for dining close by (in the square) but others will require some minor hills and steps to get to. The morning breakfast is adequate (continental) with cappuccino/expresso included). The hotel is within the city walls so you have to park in a lot outside the walls and walk in (hills) or the hotel can shuttle you to and from parking lot for a fee. San Gimignano is very busy during the day with tour buses etc. highly suggest an overnight stay to get the full experience and Cisterna is the perfect choice of hotel to soak in the history/ambiance of San Gimignano. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend this hotel enough. I will definitely come back again in future. The location, views, well fitted-out bedrooms and bathrooms and powerful air conditioning units meant a comfortable and pleasant experience. I lay in bed just looking at the hand painted ceiling in the morning. It was a great experience and I had to have one of those moments where you say goodbye to the room before checking out.

Many people only visit San Gimignano for an afternoon, but it is worth staying there for a few days to really explore. La Cisterna is right in the middle of everything - the perfect location. Get a valley view room and wake up feeling like you are in a dream! The bed is comfortable and the toiletries smell amazing. The front desk staff is very helpful and can answer any question you have. I had a wonderful time there and can’t wait to return.

Wonderful location of the property. The room was clean and well cared for with daily cleaning and towels provided. The rooms weren’t the most quiet perhaps because we were on the bottom floor. We would often hear the rooms beside us. The rooms are a little out dated as well. Apart from that beautiful property and location. Would have been nice to have access to an outdoor garden. Great staff very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

We picked the hotel for its location, which is perfect, however we did not expect it to be so good in all other ways. We especially loved the views from the restaurant whilst eating the very good value breakfast.
The staff were very helpful and gave us all the support we needed with regard to busses and museums - including a discount ticket.
