San Gimignano, Italy

San Gimignano has probably been my favorite Tuscan town.  The towers shooting up to create its skyline makes it striking to see from far away and being that it is on a hilltop gives fabulous views that stretch over Tuscany.  In peak season go early to avoid the busses full of tourists…turns out, its lots of people’s favorite Tuscan town!

Getting There:  We did a day trip from Siena.  Taking a train from Siena to Poggibonsi and then a bus from Poggibonsi into San Gimignano.

Restaurant: Il Ristorante Hotel Bel Soggiorno has panoramic views over the valley along with delicious pastas!

Make sure you stop by Gelateria Dondoli for literally – the best gelato in the world!
