San Gimignano is a short walk / 5 minute drive from our venue, Guardastelle. Following are some sights and experiences for you to pass time while in Tuscany!
San Gimignano
Piazza Sant'Agostino, San Gimignano, Sienna 53037, Italy
Known as Medieval Manhattan, San Gimignano is known for the excellent preservation of 1400s architecture, particularly its towers. There's an AirBnb in the top of the tallest one, if you're interested!
Gelateria Dondoli
4 Piazza Della Cisterna, San Gimignano, Toscana 53037, Italy
Voted the world's best gelato — seriously. Don't fall for the imitator across the square; look for Dondoli. Also keep an eye out for proprietor, Sergio, who looks like a distant cousin of Larry, Father of the Bride!
Spa Day, Vespa Tour, & more!
Loc. Sovestro, San Gimignano, SI 53037, Italy
Feeling brave? Our hosts at Guardastelle are happy to help you organize an afternoon Vespa tour or horseback ride. For the more horizontally inclined, there are local spas, or have a picnic (packed by our hosts) on Guardastelle's beautiful grounds.
Florence
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is only an hour's drive away. Home to the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore, Michelangelo's "David", and the Fountain of Neptune, you can't go wrong spending an afternoon here.
