The location was excellent, just what my husband and I had been searching! My husband's biggest complaint was his encounter with the very rude coffee barrista, who seemed as if she just did not like her job, nor anyone who would dare ask for a latte. Though it would not stop us from staying there in the future, her churlish, boorish attitude was offensive. The hotel, however, was absolutely beautiful!

Très bel hôtel. Situation exceptionnelle dans la ville, sur la place la plus fameuse. Vue extraordinaire sur la campagne toscane depuis les chambres et le restaurant. Restauration un peu décevante : le restaurant a baissé de standing (mais aussi de gamme de prix) par rapport à ce qu'il était il y a 15 ans et la machine distribuant les boissons du petit déjeuner était très médicre (chocolat chaud imbuvale et jus d'orange moyen).

La Cisterna was the San Gimignano hotel featured in the film 'Tea With Mussolini' so we were hoping for something less bland, but that's not the hotel's fault! Breakfast was plentiful in a room with lovely views. The bedroom was clean and pleasant, staff helpful, location in the heart of the village just what we'd hoped.

beautiful little village in Tuscany. Had a choice between views of the square or the countryside. Country view was magnificent. Rooms were quiet and clean. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was quite large. Highly recommend this hotel. Take a walk on the outside of the wall. Tuscany at it's best.

If you are leaving luggage there after you have checked out, make sure you insist it goes in a secure locked up area. My luggage went for a trip on it's own after a mixup but in saying that, the staff were excellent in correcting the problem and ensuring they would get me to my next destination. Other than this hiccup I would definitely reccommend this hotel to anyone, especially as it's a stone's throw from the best gelato parlour in the world!

Très joli hôtel situé sur une des plus belles places de San Gimignano, village sublime. Chambre spacieuse et calme ( certaines sont avec vue avec supplément). Vue époustouflante de la salle du petit-déjeuner_copieux_. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Eviter les lourds bagages car il faut se garer à l'extérieur de la ville, et parfois loin. Le parking est cher (15euros/24h) et rajoute à la note.

After a bit of concern driving through hundreds of people getting into the square to unload our bags the hotel , staff, and location were absolutely fantastic. As we arrived on a public holiday there were thousands of people everywhere but having said that we had no problems getting in unloading our bags and then finding a park.
