Experience the best of San Gimignano

San Gimignano, in Tuscany, is a hill town of medieval stone towers, built on a ridge above the vineyards of the Elsa valley.

San Gimignano rises on a hilltop in the Tuscan countryside south-west of Florence, its skyline pricked by medieval towers built by rival families as symbols of wealth. More than a dozen still stand. The town is listed by UNESCO, and its stone streets run between two gates to the Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square with a thirteenth-century well, beside the Piazza del Duomo.

The Collegiata is covered in fourteenth-century frescoes of scenes from the Old and New Testaments, and the civic museum includes the Torre Grossa, the tallest tower, which can be climbed for a view over the hills. Volterra, Siena and Monteriggioni lie within reach, and the Chianti vineyards begin to the east.

Vernaccia, a crisp white wine, is grown on the hills around the town, and saffron is another local product. Menus offer pici pasta with wild boar sauce, ribollita bean soup and pecorino cheese. Spring brings green fields and poppies, and the harvest colours the vineyards in autumn.
