      San Grimignano - Die Stadt der 13 Türme

      14 Eylül 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Die mittelalterlich Stadt gehört zu den meist besuchtesten Orten in der Toskana. Normalerweise besticht sie mit romantischen steilen engen Gassen.
      Heute gabs leider Regen, der in einen längeren Wolkenbruch ausartete. Trotz Regenkleidung hab ich völlig durchnässt den Rückzug angetreten. Aber nicht ohne ein Eis gegessen zu haben.Okumaya devam et

      Day 112: Wine Tasting in San Gimignano

      1 Mayıs, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

      Going hard through Turkey, Bulgaria, and Greece, Mary made promises to take it slow in Tuscany. By slow, she meant going on wine tours to sip Chianti, eat Italian cold cuts, and guzzle all the olive oil.

      San Gimignano is one of those little Tuscan towns situated on a hillside peak with a medieval wall and castle surrounding it. We found two wineries 7 minutes from town and signed up for a light 12pm lunch and 3pm tour, hoping to walk from each location. Sadly, the weather had different plans and we were facing 10 hours of heavy rain and thunderstorms.

      Regardless, we jumped into the car and visited Azienda Agricola Palagetto for small lunch of proccuto,, Tuscan fennel salami, bread with honey, olive oil, and homney. The lunch included a light meat ragú pasta and enjoyed 4 wines produced by a 3 generation winery. As nerds, we enjoyed learning that this winery used stainless steel for white wine, barrels for red, and then occasionally concrete tanks!

      The next winery Pietraserena, Az. Agr. di Arrigoni included a tour of the facilities, where we learned that their wines are so specific that they refer to the exact field the grapes come from. We enjoyed bruschetta, more Italian cold cuts, and then grappa, which is a 40% shot.

      We snuck in a nap before dinner and enjoyed a delicious meal in a small family owned restaurant where the cat sat at the desk and managed payments.

      Ceramiche Corsini, San Gimignano

      19 Eylül 2022, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      We love this town of towers and have very fond memories of a little old Italian man called Bruno Corsini. On our last trip, after a few (too many) wines in the square we stumbled across Bruno’s ceramic shop, Ceramiche Corsini, off the main tourist road. Founded in 1957 the shop is a riot of unique colourful ceramic pieces that we had not seen in the other ceramic shops. It is a feast for the eyes. And Bruno was a charmer who spoke no English but we still had a great experience and walked away with mismatched salt and pepper shakers in the shape of roosters. Why I chose those…. It was the wine 😬 They have become one of my favourite purchases from our trips because of the fond memories attached. Bruno and I had a photo together last time which he asked me to send to him, which I did.

      Upon returning to San Gimignamo today, we were hoping Bruno and his business had survived covid, and to our delight he had. I was treated with a big hug and an Italian kiss on each cheek and we all got a bit emotional seeing him again, still his charming Italian self. As he did not greet any other visitors the same way, we think he remembered us.

      I love his ceramics, as they are a bit more unique that the ceramics sold in all the tourist towns. This time my purchase was made pre-wine and I bought a lovely mug so I can remember Bruno every morning when I have my cup of coffee. Another hug and a few kisses later and we bid farewell to our favourite Italian, smiles on our faces and a tear in our eyes.

      Medieval villages around Siena

      18 Nisan 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      We picked up a rental car and drove out of Siena to visit San Gimignano and Monteriggioni, two walled cities dating from the 13th century.

      San Gimignano is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is known for its fortified towers. The families who controlled the town built 70 or so tower-houses (some as high as 150 feet) as symbols of their wealth and power. Only 14 towers are still standing.

      Monteriggioni is also a fortified village surrounded by towers, although smaller than those in San Gimignano.

      The Via Francigena passes through both of these towns. It is an ancient pilgrimage route starting in Canterbury in England, through France and Switzerland, to Rome. Thanks to the description of his journey home to Canterbury from Rome made by an archbishop in AD 994, it has been possible to reconstruct the route precisely. Many people use these routes for trekking (and pilgrimages).

      Onto Venice

      21 Ağustos 2019, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      After a lovely breakfast on the terrace we headed off in the car back to Florence to drop off the hire car.it was an easy drive with Google maps until we realised our offline map had sent us to a bridge that was closed! Lucky we had internet so we quickly recalculated and managed to get the car back with incurring any traffic fines, we hope.

      Made it onto our train and had a relaxing couple of hours speeding towards Venice. When we arrived the clever accommodation booker (Pete) had found us a hotel that only had one bridge to climb to reach our hotel. Mind you we had four flights of narrow stairs to make it to our room, but the lovely staff carried our bags for us.

      After a quick refresh we headed out to explore Venice and marvel at the beautiful buildings and canals. We were going to do a go dale ride but 100 euros about $180 made us think twice. Still we found a lovely place to stop for refreshments, but had some pretty average food. We went back for our afternoon siesta which was much needed!

      We decided to stay close to the hotel for dinner and found a lovely little restaurant on a canal. Weather was a bit cooler with quite a bit of wind, but quite refreshing after the previous hot days. Sooooo many tourists it makes it hard to walk the streets during the day but easier at night so we did more wandering until we were well and truly exhausted. More exploring tomorrow.

      San Gimignano,a kozepkori Manhattan

      13 Temmuz 2017, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Na szóval irány San Gimignano, ami eddig nekem sosem okozott csalódást, Marcinak is beharangoztam, hogy csúcs lesz. Ma itt is piac van, gondoltuk, megnézzük a véget, 12h-re érkeztünk. Az őrület már ekkor elkezdődött, eszméletlen sok autó, hely meg nem nagyon, végül a negyedik parkolóban találtunk helyet, mindezt dogmelegben- M kezdte is elveszteni a türelmet. Sikerült jó messze megállni, caplatni kellett felfele az emelkedőn a 100 fokban, míg végül elértük az óvárosi részt. (Ha eddig nem lett volna egyértelmű: Toscana megnezesere nem célszerű a július hónapot valasztani.:)))

      Óváros meg mindig gyönyörűség, 52 torony agaskodik mindenfele, tényleg olyan mint egy középkori Manhattan felhokarcolokkal. Ami rögtön feltunt, hogy tele van magyarral,nem is értem, mintha ket busznyi magyart egyszerre kipattintottak volna San Gimignano közepén. Korbeneztunk a piacon, egy két apróság beszerezese után nyomtunk egy fagyit a Piazza della Cisternan (a világ egyik legjobb fagyizojaban), ami az óváros közepén elhelyezkedő haromszog alakú tér, közepén egy kúttal (innen kapta a nevet). Tomeg, tömeg, tömeg...
      Majd ebéd egy ristoranteban (semmi extra, sőt, Marci pizzaja kifejezetten csapnivaló volt), ujabb barangolás és a Piazza del Duomon (ahonnan vegre elmennek közben az arusok) a Dóm (Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta) felfedezese. Kivulrol nagyon nagyon puritán (nekem mondjuk bejön), belül viszont ugyanolyan díszes mint a sienai, ketoldalt olyan mint egy képeskönyv, egyik oldalon az otestamentum, másik oldalon az ujtestamentum kepeivel, és persze körbe körbe az elmaradhatatlan fekete- fehér csikokkal. A tető pedig gyönyörű kék "eg" arany csillagokkal. Nem győztünk bámészkodni, ráadásul az sem utolsó szempont, h jó hűvös van benn. (Egyedül ami nem tetszett, h 4 eurót kellett fizetni belepodij gyanant, amit egy templom esetében nem érzek jogosonak, de nyilván a a városnak ez is egy marha fontos bevételi forrás).

      Templomozas után meg kiultunk egy teraszra mert feltetlen meg kellett kóstolnunk San Gimignano feherborát, a Vernacciat (annyira szerintem nem
      különleges, én egy idő után froccsnek ittam :))), illetve magunkhoz vettük a jól megérdemelt kávét. :)

      Ezután úgy döntöttünk, hogy amit kellett, láttunk a varosbol (meg egy gyors kilátás nézés), és hívogat minket a gyönyörű szallasunk medence partja, és meg csobbanunk egyet vacsi előtt.

      San Gimignano - Best of Tuscany

      21 Ekim 2019, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

      We tasted wine, we found a cat, we ate the best raviolis of our life (which can you believe I didn't take a single photo in that restaurant??), and every view was like out of an Italian fairytale. Let's stay here next time!Okumaya devam et

      San Gimignano

      6 Eylül 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Heute Morgen ging es über die Autobahn von Bologna in Richtung Süden zu unserem ersten Stopp San Gimignano. Schon bei der Anfahrt merkten wir: wir sind heute hier nicht die einzigen Touristen.
      San Gimignano ist eine italienische Hügelstadt in der Toskana, südwestlich von Florenz. Sie ist von Mauern aus dem 13. Jahrhundert umgeben. Im Zentrum der Altstadt befindet sich die Piazza della Cisterna, ein dreieckiger Platz, der von mittelalterlichen Häusern gesäumt ist. Die Skyline der Stadt wird durch mittelalterliche Türme geprägt, darunter der Steinturm Torre Grossa.

      San Gimignano ist die Partnerstadt von Meersburg.

      6. Reisetag San Gimignano-Bagni usw.

      13 Nisan, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Nach einer unruhigen Nacht mit viel Stecherei sind wir früh aufgewacht und los ging die Fahrt Richtung den Schwefelquellen bagni di Petriolo. Vorher ein kleiner Abstecher nach San Gimignano, ein mittelalterliches Kleinod. Durch viel Wald auf und ab und durch kleine Dörfer ging es weiter und hatten wunderschöne Ausblicke auf Wein- und Olivenanbau, alles klassische Anwesen mit Zypressen, so wie man es sich typisch toscanisch vorstellt. Die Quellen rochen ein wenig nach faulen Eiern und waren ziemlich warm. Zum Glück war ein erfrischender Bach daneben,der zum Abkühlen reizte. Wir fuhren weiter Richtung Montalcino, wo wir jetzt auf einer grünen Wiese vor einem wunderschönen Anwesen am Abend sitzen, Pizza und Bulgursalat essen mit einem kühlen Bier und freuen uns auf den Abend.Okumaya devam et

      San Gimignano

      11 Haziran 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Für heute habe ich eine Tour mit Weinprobe gebucht. Der erste Stop war San Gimignano, die Stadt der Türme. Einst gab es 72 dieser sogenannten Geschlechtertürme, einige sind noch erhalten. Damals wurden sie von Adelsfamilien als Statussymbol erbaut. Je größer, umso reicher und angesehener. Immer wieder dasselbe: wer hat den Größten... Ich habe mich durch die Gassen treiben lassen und bin automatisch an allen wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten vorbei gekommen: ich war auf der Burg, der Piazza della Cisterna mit der weltberühmten Gelateria Dondoli und der Piazza del Duomo. Zum Frühstück gab es ein Eis.Okumaya devam et
