The towered silhouette of
San Gimignano rising from the hills of the Upper Elsa Valley, facing the land of Volterra and positioned right on one of the most important stretches of the mediaeval Via Francigena, is famous all over the world.
A similar renown can also be claimed by its Vernaccia wine, recently awarded the D.O.C.G., the highest acknowledgement and guarantee for quality in Italian oenology. Among the numerous activities and cultural events, the prestigious international festival which is held in the month of July should be noted.
At
San Gimignano, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, residence self-catering accommodation, agriturismos, camp sites, b&b, historical villa and rooms for rent.
