Appartamenti di San Gimignano
 San Gimigano |
| Overview: This large impressive apartment occupies the entire 2nd floor of an ancient town house in the historic center of San Gimignano. It was completely restored last year in such a way that it can be divided into several rental possibilities. The largest configuration comfortably accommodates 8 people in 4 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. The smallest version is a comfortable one bedroom apartment. |
| Details: An almost perfect spot for those who want to visit Tuscany without renting a car. There is bus service to nearby Poggibonsi and from there trains leave for Florence and many other Tuscan cities and towns. A day trip to Rome, Bologna or Orvieto is eminently do-able. |
| Pricing: Depending on configuration and season, the range is $615 to $2440 per week. |

 Skyline |
| San Gimignano is probably the most recognizable hill town in Tuscany. It traces its origins to Etruscan times, but it reached its heights as a commercial center in the early middle ages. Its most notable feature, of course, are the towers, built by wealthy merchants as monuments to their success. Built during the 11th to 13th centuries, there were once 72 towers. Each builder would try to outdo the previous one and the towers reached improbable heights...so improbable, in fact, that today only 14 remain, forming the impressive skyline. |
