"Absolutely lovely hotel. Best one we stayed at in Italy - in retrospect, we wish we booked to stay here a second night. The location is quiet and isolated so stars are visible at night, plenty of parking, and breakfast is worth the 20 EURS, best breakfast options we had during our stay. Highly recommend, 10/10."

"Martina was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel facilities and breakfast were amazing. The property is located just a few minutes from the town of San Gimignano, making it a perfect base for exploring the area."

The title says it all- this was a lovely hotel, and we enjoyed everything about our stay. The location was perfect, the room was very comfortable, breakfast was lovely, etc. the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, as well. We will certainly return on or next trip to Volterra!

This was a perfect retreat after a hectic week! I wish I had the time to stay longer, hope to return someday :) Great location right off the square. Cute and very clean room. Felt very safe at the hotel and in the city as a whole. The front desk gal was extremely friendly and helpful. If you are out and about late at night, be sure to bring both keys with you!

We stayed here as part of our tour through Tuscany. Although we wanted to visit San Gimignano, we knew that it would be packed with tourists and bus tours, so we wanted to find a place close enough to visit the town, but away from the hectic crowds. Agriturismo Il Casolare di Bucciano perfectly suited those needs; we had a lovely view of San Gimignano from the grounds. Our GPS had trouble finding this place, because it is a rural address, but the personal connection always seems to work - a...

The property itself was an absolute delight, a charming location perched on the hillside with incredible morning views down over the valley. The host was extremely helpful and walked us through all the amenities, suggested where we could eat out, and went above and beyond in providing complimentary locally made welcome cookies and other snacks.

I will start by saying that we will be back to Villa Nencini next year, and for a full week's stay. Does that tell you something? The location is perfect for the walking trips; the owners/managers are on site; the grandfather is the chef, taking time to hunt the boar and deer for the larder! The rooms are clean and well-appointed, with marvelous views over the ancient Etruscan walls, down the Cessine valley to the Tyreenean Sea. Breakfast and dinner are in what was once the Villa's stable, now...

We liked our room, especially the balcony. We wandered around the vineyards and enjoyed an delicious t-bone steak in their restaurant, which had a wonderful ambience overlooking the vineyards. They light the vines closest and there are tables where you could eat among the vines. It wasn't a fancy place, but very comfortable.

The Casa Del Chiodo was the perfect Tuscan B&B experience for us. From the moment Marco greeted us to the amazing multiple course evening meal that owner/chef Paola prepared to the breakfast served by Irene, it was the epitome of Italian hospitality. While the evening meal was extra, it was definitely worth it as it showcased local farm grown and hunted/gathered foods (such as mushrooms, venison and roasted chestnuts).
Our room was clean, true to historical construction with modern amenities....

My wife and I stayed at this Agriturismo following a 10 day Meditteranean cruise. After being herded around on land tours, we were ready to relax a bit in Tuscany. When we arrived at the farm, we were greeted by the owner and his staff with an incredible spread of food and drink. We were made to feel like family. Everyone was so friendly. My wife was thrilled to help the cooks prepare marmalade and fresh pumpkin ravioli for pasta night. Everything served was organically grown on the farm. The...

The property is very nice . My room was ok , nice view , spacious bathroom except the shower . The lights switchers are confusing but understandable because is an old European style . Breakfast is very good . A lot choices and was included in the price . Staff is great always try to help you . Location is good , just 600 mts from San Gimignano main entrance . You don’t need a car to go close to inside the walls . Parking is difficult in the area but you will find a spot away from the hotel .!...

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...
