The rooms offer air conditioning, free Wifi and a flat-screen satellite TV. Most rooms at La Cisterna offer views of the square or of the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Each is furnished in a Florentine style. After a busy day, linger over a meal of fine Tuscan cuisine in the Le Terrazze restaurant. A continental buffet breakfast is served daily.
