Probably the most famous small town in Italy, there are few places that
evoke, with as much power, the atmosphere of mediaeval Tuscany.
San Gimignano dominates the sorrounding area (Val d'Elsa) with its breathtaking
skyline bristling with towers. Only fifteen of the original seventy-two
towers survive today. These towers represented weath and influence more
than security and defence: the higher the tower the richer the family.
To complete your experience in this town , remind your driver to take
you to taste the well known white wine of this town: Vernaccia di San
Gimignano. A breathtaking experience of a different kind!
