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.

The balcony was lovely and the view was spectacular. It was enjoyed by myself and two other members of my travelling party in the evening. Breakfast was a delight and the recommendations for dinners were excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful arranging a taxi to and from a wine tasting experience.

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.

The hotel was comfortable and clean. There were instructions given for driving up to the hotel for luggage drop off but, that is an impossible task and very dangerous. There should be a warning about that.

Hotel located in the town of Sam Gimignano. You can not have a better location to all shops, restaurants, and activities. You are on the top of the hill with awesome views of the surrounding area. The service and accommodations are exceptional.
