San Gimignano

San Gimignano is a cosy village dating back to the Etruscan age, whose medieval architecture has been preserved during centuries! San Gimignano is reachable in 45 minutes drive from Florence.

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!

Chianti

Chianti, the area in which Chianti Classico wine has been produced for centuries, is that part of Tuscany that is bordered to the north by the suburbs of Florence, to the east by the Chianti Mountains, to the south by the city of Siena and to the west by the valleys of the Pesa and Elsa rivers. The area is traversed by the Superhighway of the Palio. It is a land of ancient traditions that was civilized in remote periods first by the Etruscans, who left many traces of their activity in the wine sector, and then by the Romans. In the Middle Ages, the cities of Florence and Siena battled for control over the zone.Villages and monasteries, castles and fortresses appeared during that period and many of them were later transformed into villas and country residences when times were more tranquil.It was then that spaces were cleared in the vast forests of chestnuts and oaks for the cultivation of vines and olive trees, an activity that progressively assumed major economic importance and established an international reputation.
