Tips

 

From your Hotel in Florence directly to Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti

Our driver will pick up you and your group directly from your Hotel or your Accommodation in Florence. You will start our Private tour to Siena-San Gimignano-Chianti from Florence and drive through the charming Tuscan countryside in order to reach Siena and San Gimignano. The trip from Florence to San Gimignano will take approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once you get there, you will feel like time has stopped.

Visit of the historical town of San Gimignano

It will be very easy to spot San Gimignano from a distance thanks to its famed old towers. The town was built on the top of a hill 334 meters a.s.l. and 14 medieval towers still stand around this town. For this reason, the view over the town is breath taking. Originally, there were 72 towers in San Gimignano with different functions: house towers, watching towers, bell towers. They were a demonstration of power in the middle ages. Indeed, they were the result of conflicts between the richest families here. Each of them wanted to build higher tower to show off their economic stability, since the construction and maintaining of a stone tower was quite expensive. This trend stopped in 1255, when a new law established the maximum height of the new towers. Because of its towers, San Gimignano is also known as the Manhattan of the Middle Ages.

Not only history in San Gimignano, but also local products

The medieval skyline is what makes San Gimignano unique and very different from other medieval towns in Tuscany and in Italy. The historic centre is part of the UNESCO World Heritage for the well-preserved buildings and masterpieces conserved in them.

Moreover, a very fertile area surrounds the village with vineyards and rows of olive trees, making it a big producer of Vernaccia. This a dry white wine produced locally and considered today one of the finest ones in Italy. In 1966, it was the first Italian wine awarded with the DOC status (Denomination of Controlled Origin). Other local products we recommend you to taste are saffron and golden ham.

Siena: university, history and strong traditions

After the visit in San Gimignano, we will drive for about 45 minutes through the fascinating Tuscan landscape until Siena. This town is seat of several universities and like San Gimignano, it is extremely rich in medieval history and art. Siena is also on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List and one of its symbols is the shell-shaped square of Piazza del Campo. This is the heart of the town, which actually develops around it. It is worldwide famous for an important horse race that takes place twice a year during the summer, the Palio di Siena. For the locals it is not only a horse competition but also an old tradition dating back to 1633. They prepare themselves to this event the whole year round, even if it only last 4 days. Moreover, the Palio di Siena originates from the historic rivalry between the town’s districts, called contrade.

Main attractions in Siena

These streets and the Duomo in Siena were even chosen as background for some scenes the James Bond series movie Quantum of Solace (2008). Besides the renomated Piazza  del Campo, you should not miss:

  • The Duomo of Santa Maria Assunta, with its marvellous white and dark green striped façade, the Crypts and masterpieces signed by famous Renaissance artists the likes Donatello and Michelangeloinside;
