San Gimignano, its towers, its skyline… they’re worldwide wonders! Walking through its small, charming alleys – as well as its countryside – is the kind of experience you will never forget. What about a delicious gelato in the main square? Would you prefer a Vernaccia wine tasting? Or a saffron experience?
Spring and fall breezes carry the scent of yellow broom, lavender, rosemary, and wild thyme as you climb along a ridgeline, and radiant sunlight warms your face: you are literally walking in the footsteps of the pilgrims who have travelled the pilgrimage route to Rome, the famous Via Francigena since the early Middle Ages.
A patchwork of olive groves and vineyards stretches far across the valley below, while further up the trail, Monteriggioni’s medieval defensive walls peek out from hillsides dotted with cypresses and red poppies.
In the meanwhile, the Elsa River flows into the valley: waterfalls, watermills, paper mills and the verdant vegetation of the Sentierelsa natural Park it will help you immerse yourself in the almost fairy atmosphere of Colle Val d’Elsa. Called the Bohemia of Italy, Colle is the home of crystal: a real hidden gem to discover.
