San Gimignano
is a cosy village dating back to the Etruscan age, whose medieval architecture has been preserved during centuries! Located on the topp of a hill viewing the countryside, surrounded by stone walls, San Gimignano is said to be “the Manhattan of Tuscany”, because of its high towers, built by the ancient noble families, enriched with the commerce, who wanted to show their power! Visiting San Gimignano
is a unique chance to go back in time, walking along narrow streets, admiring old stone buildings, the 13 remaining towers and loose yourself in a pleasant medieval atmosphere. We suggest to stop in one of the many wine shop of the village to taste the typical local wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano!
