Tuscany by sim1
San Gimignano is located in the beautiful region of Tuscany. This part of Italy combines wonderful hilly landscapes with picturesque historic villages, often located on some idyllic hilltop.Of course some Tuscany also has some delicious food and wine to offer. No wonder that this region is so popular. And that is actually its main disadvantages. The region is not 'unspoiled' anymore and during high season it can be very busy. But having said that, it is and will be a lovely spot to visit.
Here are some places I've visited over the years in Tuscany and might give you some suggestions for yourself when visiting this part of Italy:
Arezzo
Borgo a Mozzano
Montalcino
Monte Argentario
Montepulciano
Monteriggioni
Pisa
Pitigliano
San Gimignano
Saturnia
Siena
Sovana
