Robin,
Great post! San Gimi is a fave Tuscany town of mine .
There used to be an amazing gelato place when you first walk into town, is it still there?
Cheers, Laurie

Yep. Still there, Laurie. And it has some of the best gelato around. Gelato-loving clients raved about it last year when I suggested they go

What a fantastic article with stunning pics! Reminds me of my journey to Montepulciano and Pienza. Isn’t Tuscany bliss?

Yes, bliss Jeff. It is why I call it MY Italy. I feel most connected there. Must be the combo of views, wine, food, walled towns and freindly locals

San Gimignano is a beautiful place. I recommended visiting there to my sister who was touring Italy with her family last year. They bought a small sword for their son who is passionate about castles and almost got arrested on their return to Australia. Lucky for them, it was just one centimetre under the consented limit!

Hi, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile but don’t think I’ve ever commented. I love San Gimignano. I visited around this time last year as part of a whirlwind day trip out of Florence with my mom, two aunts and grandmother. I could have spent so much more time exploring the quaintness of the town, but it wasn’t meant to be on that trip. Hopefully I get another opportunity. I’d love to stay a night or two there. Thanks for bringing back lovely memories and for your beautiful photos.

I love Tuscany. My husband I dream of living there. Sigh, maybe someday.
