Agriturismo la Fidanza

After breakfast which consisted of meats, ham, cheese and quiche amongst other things, we decided to walk the long way round to San Gimignano. The route took us through some vineyards and then along an unpaved road with some amazing views of the town before we arrived at the top end after about 90 minutes.

The town itself is perched on a hilltop and has a couple of main roads running through it. . The San Augustine church And then we had a quick beer to soothe our legs!

After that we went to the main square and climbed the main tower. The town is largely as it was about 800 years ago and the 14 towers that are left mean that it is often called the Manhattan of Italy. The views from the tower were stunning.

After coming down the tower we moved to the next square and had a couple of beers sitting in the sun. After that we both had a gelato and then walked further down the town and out and back towards our accommodation which took about 45 minutes.

By now it was around 3:30 p.m. and so we took the opportunity to play some cards and have a glass of wine taking in the view. All in all, a very relaxing and satisfying day 😉Leer más
