Can anyone recommend a good place to stay for one
night in San Gimignano. We will have a rental car. Thanks.

Hi Joanne,
My family stayed at the Hotel Cisterna in 2006 and loved it. We had ground floor rooms with balconies that looked out over the surrounding countryside. I would stay there again in a hearbeat! One of the city's main gathering spots is just outside the front door (piazza della cisterna) and the gelato place nearby had the best gelato ever! Keep in mind that I was there before cities had ZTL's with cameras. We were able to drive up to the door and unload our bags. I doubt you would want to do that now. Be sure to read posts about where NOT to drive and even if the hotel says you can drive up to unload, I would get some sort of assurance or something in writing from them about it since many people have gotten tickets by mail up to 3 years after their visit from other cities (not sure if San Gimi has ZTL's but I wouldn't be surprised). Have a wonderful trip! Lisa
