    Ambra was a very good and very knowledgeable guide; she explained to us with a wealth of anecdotes the whole history of the city and gave us the opportunity to appreciate even the most hidden monuments. Absolutely recommended for a trip to San Giminiano

San Gimignano is a picturesque medieval town nestled in the heart of Tuscany, famous for its skyline of ancient towers, charming cobbled streets, and stunning views of rolling hills and vineyards. This small but captivating destination promises a real taste of Italian culture, history, and gastronomy, making it a must-see stop for travelers exploring the region.

A Glimpse into History

Known as the "Medieval Manhattan," this town rose to prominence in the Middle Ages thanks to its strategic location along a key trade route. Wealthy families competed in building ever taller towers—at one point there were over 70! Today, 14 of these magnificent towers remain, offering a unique window into a bygone era.

Best Time to Visit

The best months to experience San Gimignano are spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October). During these periods, the weather is mild, the landscapes are lush, and the streets are less crowded. Summer brings warmer temperatures and more visitors, while winter is quiet but some attractions may have shorter hours.
