Tuscany's hillside town is an enchanting medieval love affair.
Italian food, wine, culture and an euphoric atmosphere immersed within Tuscany's awe-dropping countryside, San Gimignano shouldn't be missed on your list...
San Gimignano, Italy
Nestled among the glorious green and yellow landscapes, you'll come across 14 historic yet charming towers sweeping above the walled town of San Gimignano. Where there was once 72 towers (the tallest tower symbolised prosperity), this quaint characterful Italian escape just south-west of the famed area of Florence, fuses it's medieval streetscapes with an allure of art and unique tuscan flavours, making San Gimignano an unmissable location to visit on your dreamy road trip through vineyards and picture perfect scenery.
Tip: If you're looking for that authentic restaurant up one of the cobbled streets, look no further than Trattoria Antica Macelleria. Friendly, laid-back staff and unreal truffle pasta.
On a side note, if you have hired a car you can't leave Tuscany until you've driven 1.5 hours from San Gimignano to Chapel Vitaleta. This is a mystical building located in the breathtaking hills of Val d'Orcia.
