Hotel La Cisterna, San Gimignano

Hotel La Cisterna, San Gimignano - set on one of the four main squares that form the heart of the historic city, this San Gimignano hotel couldn't be better placed for exploring. The Hotel La Cisterna is housed within an elegant fourteenth century palazzo, a marvellous meeting of antique charm and modern comforts. Views from here are terrific - both onto the old city and onto the beautiful Tuscan countryside that lies without the city walls.

The 49 rooms here are furnished in a typical Florentine style, and the Le Terrazze Restaurant serves the best in traditional Tuscan cuisine, considered among Italy's finest. Remember too, that you are on the edge of the Chianti wine region here - the wine list contains the best of Chianti and of the wider Italian vintages. Bedrooms at this San Gimignano hotel have air conditioning, telephone, bathroom with shower and toilet, and television. There is a buffet breakfast served each morning.

And beautiful San Gimignano is on your doorstep. This extraordinary Tuscan city is famous for its dozen or more towers of course, relic of the six dozen that once sprung up from the streets of the town. There are superb medieval buildings (San Gimignano reached its height in the early Middle Ages before declining with the arrival of the Plague in 1348). The city began to recover in the 19th century, when Europeans on the Grand Tour discovered a stunning and unchanged medieval Tuscan masterpiece. Now you can discover it too, at the front door of your San Gimignano hotel.
