Tuscany is famous for hill towns but few are quite as stunning as San Gimignano. Here a dramatic skyline of medieval towers gazes out over gorgeous, rolling Tuscan countryside.
Book a tour of San Gimignano from Florence, discover the town's historic centre with its winding backstreets and honey coloured buildings, as well as frescoed churches and grand gothic palazzi. Then go on to visit Siena and the vineyards of Chianti, two more unforgettable things to do in Tuscany .
Where to stay
For easy sightseeing: Stay at romantic 11th century Leon Bianco on Piazza della Cisterna in the heart of San Gimignano. Or enjoy the countryside at Hotel Casolare Le Terre Rosse on the ancient pilgrim route of Via Francigena just outside San Gimignano.
For family stays: Heart of the Tuscan countryside is also the theme at Agriturismo Poggiacolle, a short drive from San Gimignano. A choice of comfortable rooms as well as spacious apartments make this a good option for families. Kids will love the free bikes.
For local heritage: If immersing yourself in San Gimignano's heritage is the dream, then L'Antico Pozzo in the town centre will suit you perfectly. Here you can look forward to four-poster beds and high ceilings in a tastefully restored Palazzo, parts of which date back to the Middle Ages,
For boutique stays: Leon Bianco sits right on the main square so its rooms are ideal for people watching. Originally a 14th century mansion, but now with a lovely roof terrace, it's a good choice for a boutique hotel vibe cut through with historic charm.
