We didn't really see much of the area. We stayed overnight at a hotel inside the walls and ate at Caffetteria Gelateria dell'Olmo. The restaurant was not good. Our hotel, Hotel Leon Bianco, was very nice and had a wonderful breakfast. We had a heck of a time navigating the streets.

San Gimignano is the reason we came back to Tuscany after visiting it last yearfor a few hours, while driving through Tuscany. Beautiful walled medieval town, that was originally restored in 1800s, and probably the biggest attraction in Tuscany. The towers were a sign of wealth, and the taller the tower, the wealthier the family that owned them. They were originally built as protection against marauding neighboring townspeople, street scuffs, etc. these towers were connected to the residences of the owners. You can climb the tallest tower in town, for 7 Euros.

San Gimignano is a true gem of Tuscany and a must-visit destination for every traveler. This picturesque town is famous for its well-preserved medieval towers that create an iconic skyline. Walking through its stone streets feels like stepping back in time. History comes alive at every corner, and the atmosphere is utterly enchanting. A highlight is the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, the town’s cathedral adorned with stunning frescoes by prominent artists – a true architectural treasure. San Gimignano is a place you’ll fall in love with at first sight

San Gimignano is a small medieval hills town in Tuscany, encircled by 13th-century walls and full of beauty and life. Medieval festivals are happening from time to time and, if you're lucky to be here during such an event, you'll feel the history and understand Italian culture and life better. Like a reduced-scale Sienna, San Gimignano is one of my favorites luttle old towns in Italy.

Love this town, love walking amongst the buildings. The old part of the town is just amazing, wonderful restaurants.

Lovely town and dumo church definitely worth visit with spectacular paintings

One of my favorite places to visit! Walking the streets felt like going back in time! The architecture is unbelievable. The shops are quaint and full of authentic treats. The cobblestone streets lead to amazing sites and the views are spectacular. Stop for an ice cream, a meal or a souvenir. Make it a point to stop on your visit to Italy, it’s worth the trip.

We love the medieval "village" at the heart of the uniquely beautiful city of San Gimignano. The city is well preserved, and it feels like it's frozen in time. One can imagine how these folks with their horses going about their business during those days. The atmosphere in the morning is peaceful and if you enjoy your running, this city has many interesting elevation to add to your training. The cobblestone is another challenge that keeps you vigilant and to train your foot placement. Expect loads of visitors as the day approach to lunch and dinner. Food and drinks (wine & beer) are tops, as the Italians are proud of their traditional culinary and wine culture.

The Piazza della Cisterna is one of the most beautiful and famous squares in San Gimignano, a medieval town .since the 1990s the square — and San Gimignano as a whole — has become quite touristy. During the main travel season, it can feel crowded, with many souvenir shops and large tour groups. Still, early mornings or late evenings often bring back the magic of its medieval charm.

This was actually my favorite piazza in San Gimignano. It's the one with the old cistern, or well. There's always a bunch of people sitting on it as they do on the steps in other public squares. What's unusual is that this square is really in the shape of a triangle. You'll also see the Devil's Tower near the cistern. It has been said that the owner returned to find his tower taller than it was when he left it. Lol! That's kind of spooky. What I loved most about this medieval piazza is the famous gelato shop. It was a historical and tasty experience.

Historical & Beautiful square in the centre of San Gimignano I love medieval city and SG did not disappoint. In fact it is famous for the tower but some of the little square that are in the town are really amazing. Piazza della Cisterna is one of them, here we had a drink and were lucky to be here the day of the market, so bought a few things too. I highly recommend coming here, this city is great and perched so looks really great from the roads below.

The most beautiful piazza in San Gimignano that gets very crowded during the day, but turns into a fairy tale after sunset (if you have accomodation inside the old city, you can enjoy such beauty). It is filled with history, dark stories, but is also nicely kept. And if you want to try "la dolce vita", just buy some Riserva wine in a restaurant nearby, sit and enjoy the view, the changing lights, the music (in summer, there are concerts nearby) and the wine.

San Gimignano is a must-see, incredibly beautiful and medieval. The town surprises you at every turn, and although quite small, it's worth taking your time to enjoy it. The restaurants and cafes offer spectacular views, creating a unique and very romantic atmosphere.

Charming medieval town. Climbing to the top of tower for breathtaking view of ancient city and Tuscany hills absolute must

One of the "must try" when in Gimignano, climbing the Torre Grossa will offer the best views over this superb medieval city, but also over the Tuscan fields. It is indeed hard to climb the stairs, especially the few ones at the top, but it is worth it.

Great place to visit when in San Gimignano. We went in when it opened at 10am so it wasn’t busy. They have redone the stairs so it’s quite an easy walk up - if you are tall you will need to duck your head at the end. The views are breathtaking! You then get to descend and walk into a great little museum. Would greatly recommend when visiting San Gimignano.

This city is like a hidden jam of Tuscany. We just looked at the map and randomly decided to come, and you become a cross this amazing museum and the city itself was very beautiful and old however, it wasn’t busy at all not very risky which is nice I would highly recommend to come and check it out if you haven’t.

A great place with a great view of the city. I definitely want to mention the very kind and helpful man at the ticket office. I have poor eyesight and my English isn't very good, but he patiently explained everything! Thank you, this is exactly what helps you develop a wonderful attitude towards the country! The people in Tuscany are incredible!

Great place with beautiful view, you can buy tickets in full city pass. That grant's you access to tower, tower museum and museum next to tower, it all costs only 15 euro

Lovely place. A must see when in San Gimignano! I suggest you get the San Gimignano pass, since it does save you money if you visit more than two attractions

Tallest vantage point of the town. A bunch of stairs inside tower. A little unnerving for those with anxiety.

We recently did the "Lunch in Winery with Tour." Overall our experience was great and would have garnered 5 stars except for two negatives, which I will describe below. First, the positives: 1. Advance email communication was great, especially in helping us set up transportation from Florence, which we did via train to and from Poggibonsi, with transport by the winery to and from Poggibonsi, which was timely, albeit a bit pricey at 60 euros for the short round trip. 2. Warmly greeted in a meeting area and quickly offered a glass of wine, very professional and high end feeling. 3. Excellent food and generous portions. 4. Fantastic wine, in abundance, with really nice selections. Negatives: 1. Tour: The website states the following "You’ll embark on a captivating tour through our lush vineyards and historic cellar rooms, where the enchanting aroma of aging barrels sets the stage for your visit." At best, this is a gross exaggeration if not downright untrue. The "tour" consisted of 5 - 10 minutes standing out in a grass area observing and learning about grape vines (soil conditions, type of grape, leaf structure, etc.). 2. Sales pitch: This might be a little unfair, given that it is a winery, but there was a clear sense they were trying to sell wine and wanted you to buy some, although definitely not high pressure at all, to their credit. As an fyi, we bought 5 bottles (4 red, one white) for shipment to our home in the US, mainly because the wine was delicious and super high quality. Note that their focus is on red wine.

Deeply Disappointing and Entirely Inauthentic Our visit to Tenuta Torciano was one of the most disappointing experiences we had in Tuscany. What was described as a tour through vineyards and historic cellars turned out to be a staged, commercial setup designed purely for sales — not for sharing wine culture or passion. There was no real vineyard or cellar tour. Instead, we were taken on a brief 10-minute walk past a small “show” vineyard used for different tourist activities, followed by a presentation of packages and products. Everything felt scripted and centered around selling rather than storytelling or authenticity. The lunch and wine tasting were equally underwhelming: a single cheese, a few slices of salami, a small portion of lasagna, and two thin pieces of pork. The wines were accompanied by price lists placed right on the table, adding to the sense that this was more of a sales pitch than a genuine tasting. To make matters worse, the staff and owner were visibly tense and unprofessional, even arguing with one another in front of guests. The entire atmosphere felt uncomfortable and pressured. Adding to the discomfort, we noticed staff appearing unhappy and uneasy. Overall, this experience was the opposite of what one expects from Tuscany’s warm, family-run wineries. It lacked authenticity, respect, and hospitality. What could have been a memorable day in wine country turned into an unpleasant reminder of how commercial tourism can ruin the magic of a place.

Outstanding experience for wine tasting and food making. Chef Ricotta was marvelous and well informed. Helping us through each step of our pasta making. Mikela and Chiara we magnificent in all the wine pairing and tasting. You will find a beautiful winery full of beautiful people. A MUST see!!

Absolutely magical experience! We did the truffle hunting tour and it was spectacular. The staff was very kind and attentive, not to mention how incredible the food and wine were. We look forward to coming back - 10/10 recommend!

Had a fabulous wine tasting dinner at Tenuta Torciano. Our host and sommelier Luca was absolutely first rate, highest marks. He was informative, entertaining, and generous with his wine pours. The food was delicious, and the wine just kept coming! I t was a really fun experience. I would highly recommend a visit if you enjoy food and wine.

Alessandro and Spillo was absolutely amazing!! His expertise was above and beyond for truffle hunting. It was a unique and joyful experience watching his dog in action! This was the most entertaining, fun and educational truffle hunting experience ever!! And the countryside was memorizing! Truly a highlight of my trip to Italy. I would highly recommend to anyone!!!!!

Lunch in winery with tour. A little tour of the grounds with Luciano, a 14th generation family member. Interesting and we were able to taste both varieties of grapes straight from the vine. Lunch and the wine tasting were phenomenal. 7 different wines from the winery with local salami, cheese, olive oils, bruschetta and Nonna's lasagna. Pietro, our sommelier was amusing, helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this winery experience.

A beautiful square to admire the old buildings, for a spot of people watching and to enjoy a fantastic gelato. Love it.

Excellently preserved medieval city!

A jump into renaissance

(Translated by Google) As soon as you enter through the Becci arch, a view from below opens up of Piazza della Cisterna, the most famous in San Gimignano. The buildings that overlook it, some dating back to the 1300s, are all evocative and can be admired in their splendor by going up towards Piazza Duomo. The square, triangular in shape, houses an octagonal travertine well, and this is why the previous name of Piazza dell'Olmo was replaced with the current one. Among all the palaces, the best known is Palazzo Lupi, with its Devil's Tower. (Original) Appena entrati attraverso l'arco dei Becci si apre una visuale dal basso di Piazza della Cisterna, la più famosa di San Gimignano. I palazzi che vi si affacciano, alcuni risalenti anche al 1300 sono tutti suggestivi e posso essere ammirati nel loro splendore salendo verso Piazza Duomo. La piazza, di forma triangolare, ospita un pozzo ottagonale in travertino, ed è per questo che il precedente nome di Piazza dell'Olmo è stato sostituito con quello attuale. Tra tutti i palazzi quello più noto è Palazzo Lupi, con la relativa torre del Diavolo.

(Translated by Google) In this square I was able to eat the best ice cream in the world according to the judges.

(Translated by Google) San Gimignano enchanted me. It is the village of villages in Tuscany, in fact it has preserved an almost intact historic center with its famous towers, its monuments, its uphill streets, its non-trivial shops and its many small restaurants. Handsome! (Original) San Gimignano mi ha incantata. È il Borgo dei borghi della Toscana, infatti ha conservato un centro storico quasi intatto con le sue famose torri, i suoi monumenti , le sue stradine in salita, i suoi negozi non banali e i tanti ristorantini. Bello!

(Translated by Google) San Gimignano is a true medieval town in Tuscany. The city of towers. A true paradise for tourists and photographers. (Original) San Gimignano igazi középkori város Toscanaban. A tornyok városa.A turisták és a fotósok igazi paradicsoma.

San Gimignano is an Italian hill town in Tuscany, southwest of Florence. Encircled by 13th-century walls, its old town centers on Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square lined with medieval houses. It has a skyline of medieval towers, including the stone Torre Grossa. The Duomo di San Gimignano is a 12th-century church with frescoes by Ghirlandaio in its Santa Fina Chapel.

The museum is a little off the main tourist road up the slope. This is probably why this great museum is not overcrowded, although it does not cost any admission. But for a donation, young and old can marvel at a bombastic miniature version of the city from around 1300. Impressive above all because it comes very close to its current state.

Really enjoyed the perspective of seeing the entire walled city. Came back after walking tour as lovely gift shop with purchases supporting the museum/display.

Very cool model of the entire San Gimignano village. Free entry. Helps you get a feel for the scope and also explains the tower houses and how they worked. Definitely worth taking a look at!

Small but lots of history and access to the tower.

It is free 3D recreation of the town as 1300. It says that 2 brothers made it in 2 years. Must see place. Do not forget to support it by buying some nice gifts to your loved ones.

If you have ever thought about old Tuscany this is like a dream. Beautiful architecture with a human scale. It just feels good to wander around this hilltop city. Outstanding.

A beautiful square to admire the old buildings, for a spot of people watching and to enjoy a fantastic gelato. Love it.

During my trip to San Gimignano I visited the Museum of Torture located near the heart of the old town. The exhibits are intense and shocking but historically informative. You will see original and replica instruments that illustrate how brutal justice once was. While the space is not too large, the museum is well curated with multilingual descriptions. Not for the faint-hearted, but definitely a unique and eye-opening stop that adds depth to the cultural experience of the city. I would recommend it if you are interested in history or dark tourism.

Very illustrated and easy to understand museum. It is quite scary and we all had a very bad stomach ache afterwards but this was expectable concerning the issue at hand. The topics are diverse and all time periods are considered.

Interesting activity to do inside. There are two small museums, located in two different locations. They aren’t too far apart. We arrived about an hour before close and had the option to see the second one the next day, just had to keep the receipt. We were able to do both museums in an hour.

Very exciting place if you're not afraid of going into the scary and dark part of the italian history. Good experience but it was too hard to find the second building of the museum in the city because of the few signs and guidance.

Very interesting museum, informative and a look back into more primitive times and understanding of the world. Some of the devices are a clear inspiration for the SAW movies and in certain parts of the world are used to this day. We need to learn from our past mistakes as a collective.

Nice little attraction walking among cafes, ice cream stores etc. friendly staff and easy to navigate with good descriptions of the different things on display.

Great place to visit during day time and summer seasone. the place is little bit high but you have alot what to see :) good luck !

One of the "must try" when in Gimignano, climbing the Torre Grossa will offer the best views over this superb medieval city, but also over the Tuscan fields. It is indeed hard to climb the stairs, especially the few ones at the top, but it is worth it.

Tallest vantage point of the town. A bunch of stairs inside tower. A little unnerving for those with anxiety.

We took part in their “Wine Tasting with a Meal” ~ wine, EVO oil, & balsamic tasting with a Tuscan meal. It was a perfect afternoon! Giulia was our host and she helped make it an amazing experience. She was so kind and welcoming. The views are gorgeous, our lunch was delicious, and of course the wine was wonderful. We loved that it was not only a wine tasting, but trying the different olive oils & vinegars really made it special. We also loved how close it was to town. When we are in Tuscany again, we will definitely return.

We visited this winery as part of our honeymoon and were immediately taken by the stunning views and warm hospitality. The property, while situated right off the main road and not exactly a hidden gem, is still incredibly charming — a lovely setting with wide-open views of the Tuscan countryside. The wine, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar tasting itself, however, felt a bit underwhelming. Our waiter, "Sam", seemed to be reciting from a script rather than speaking with genuine enthusiasm or connection to the wines and oils. There was no guidance at all during the oil and vinegar portion, and by the end, we weren’t even asked if we had tried them. It wasn’t a bad experience by any means — but it lacked the personal storytelling and passion that can elevate a tasting and make it truly memorable. I would recommend having a different staff member take you on the tasting journey. The staff overall were friendly and welcoming. A special shoutout to Dario, who was helpful and kind when we ordered an additional glass of wine to enjoy while walking the grounds — a relaxing way to take in the scenery. All in all, it’s a beautiful spot with kind people and great views — we just wished for a bit more authenticity and engagement in the tasting itself. Based on my wine tasting experiences around the world, the pricing here felt a bit on the higher end for what was offered.

We Booked a wine tasting with snacks, several weeks in advance. Such a great decision. We had the most wonderful 2 hours and never felt rushed. Had a perfect mix of receiving wine information and being left alone for us to enjoy the view. Highly recommend!

Family run winery! Exceptional food, wine, oil and service. Small style authentic no large tour groups. Beautiful scenery! Definitely recommend if seeking authentic Italian experience.

One of the finest Vinyards that we have patronized. Adriano served us well, always polite and had a sharp sense of humour. Originally from Romania, brought up here in Tuscany, we're fortunate to have him elaborate on the Tuscans way of living. Food is authentic Tuscany and the freshness is undoubted. We had a fabulous time here and highly recommend visiting ❤️❤️❤️

We took a private cooking class at Podere La Marronaia and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The chef guiding us was warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience both fun and approachable. We made bruschetta, cacio e pepe, and gnocchi, and everything turned out delicious. After the class, we got to taste their excellent wines, as well as their olive oil and balsamic vinegar.. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, just about an hour outside of Florence, and well worth the trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic, hands-on Tuscan experience.

Such a waste of time. We took a detour to visit this region and booked this winery but when we arrived they said it was cancelled. They said they tried to contact us but with no success. Another couple also got cancelled. We got the money back but no compensation for waste of vacation time, an extra Hotel night and fuel, just a big disappointment. Don’t book this winery, there are lots of other good ones in the region! As you can see below the Winery threatens to take legal action if I don’t remove the bad review. I will not be silenced but have instead edited the review to make it more clear what happened from my point of view.

Tallest vantage point of the town. A bunch of stairs inside tower. A little unnerving for those with anxiety.

One of the most peaceful places! A must see in San Gimignano. Not as busy as the other places so it’s ideal. Beautiful frescos. Walking in the Cloisters is bliss. No cost to enter but donations are accepted. There is a cute little shop too at the front of the church. English mass is in the chapel on a Sunday, but there are services throughout the week. X

Beautiful place and unlike every other sacral building in Italy it seems you don't have to pay to enter ..

Wonderful church with beautiful paints inside. There is also a gilded marble dedicated to S.Giminiano (saint of the city). There is also a Fresco by Benozzo Gozzoli

The nice thing about the Catholic churches in Tuscany is the modesty. Hardly any swank and gold. More like stone and wood. I notice that positively.

This church is okay,buy the Duomo is much better. There are some decent frescoes here but about half are damaged severely. I would avoid coming here unless you really have the time, but why not leave town early to go see Siena (or other nearby town) at that point?

Like everything else in San Gimigniano, the church is a fabulous place, including the Ghirlandaio masterpiece.

The exterior is nice to see, inside it is quite modern and dull

Serene, quiet and peacefully beautiful in the morning. I would presume that the park will get busier as tourist groups visit the place during the day. This is understandable since the park is relatively small. I would recommend that the park is visited earlier in the morning so that the place is still quiet and peaceful.

Nice park with amazing views of the surrounding countryside and the city towers. There are ruins of a fort here. A man in medieval costume was reciting the Divine Comedy quite passionately. Free to enter and definitely worth it!

Really beautiful park worth the trek! Don’t miss it. Lots of beautiful photo ops.

High up in the city there is a wonderful little park with lots of opportunities to chill, read and enjoy. here you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and also have a free panoramic view.

Probably the quietest place you can find in San Gimignano. You can avoid the crowd but enjoy peace here by looking at the Tuscany view and the towers closely.

Charming park in the ruins of a medieval castle. Nice place to sit in the evening and watch the sunset.

Nice little garden with a clibmable tower with a view over the city. Definitely worth a stop if you're in San Gimignano!

Here you can see how the medieval towers look like from the inside. The museum has the house of those who lived there in the 19th century. It is well preserved and has wonderful views out. There is a video for maybe 30 min explaining the history of San Gimignano which was quite interesting.

Excellent views of the Tuscan countryside and of the town! Highly recommend visiting the town and climbing the tower!

You can live the town’s history through the stories told by the objects in this preserved home. Comes with a fantastic documentary of Tuscany and then the ability to explore up close real artifiacts of the home. Great views of the countryside from the balcony. Awesome organization!

Absolutely to visit! When all the tourists are walking around and just watching towers this is the place where you can really back in time. Beautiful house. The film on the top floor about history of San Gimignano was super interesting.

An excellent video presentation about the history of the town, which you don't often get elsewhere. The house itself is amazing and you can get up close to everything. The ladies at the ticket desk were lovely and very helpful.

Beautiful intimate museum with highly informative audio visual presentation which outline the history of San Gimignano.

Beautiful villa in the heart of San Gimignano.

We came to taste some wine, and ended up having a great time. Great family that open their house with plenty of love for people and for their history, food and culture. A must!

Best holiday ever. Grazie mille Claudia, Andrea. Beautiful place with amazing view on vineyards and San Gimignano which is real a cherry top. We enjoyed our stay very much. Children loved the swimming pool and table tennis. We liked the calm and quiet place and the wine tasting with passioned guide of owners. Definitely a must go destination. Bella Italia, Bella Toscania. Dolce vita 👍😉❤️🥂🍇🇮🇹

Claudia and family are absolutely amazing. They are kind people who made our time in Italy so special. We intend to visit every time we’re in Tuscany - couldn’t recommend more!

We went here for a wine tasting, you come to an impressive road with trees on both sides. Claudia was a very enthousiastic passionate host, with a beautiful view to San Gimignano, we loved it!

The best experience we had in Tuscany!!! Claudia is amazing!! So happy and warm. The tour was lovely and interesting in the gorgeous property with the panoramic view, and after that the wine tasting was way beyond our expectations! we loved the wonderful hospitality, so generous, the homemade snacks were like a small meal and the olive oil was the best we ever had, and of course- the wine was great. We came for a wine tasting and left with a warm heart and a full experience. It made me want to stay there forever! I more than recommend - you can’t miss that!!!

Booked an impromtu visit the day before, for a wine tasting. After arriving on foot through the most glorious countryside, Claudia greeted us warmly. She told great stories and facts of the wine they produce and we tasted a few bottles! An incredible setting and fabulous host Claudia - thanks!

Claudia and Andrea were amazing. A truly wholesome and authentic experience. Great wines and olive oil!

Makes you think about the nature of humans as they developed such equipment

The museum is small but interesting. The app with extra spoken info didn't work. And more historical info about the instrument would have been better.

Excellent value for €10. Very interesting explanations of multiple types of torture. You can access both museums. We personally prefer this one as the second one was more focused on witches and inquistion. Totally worth a visit.

It is quite shocking but interesting. Don’t bring kids if they are too small. You can see two museums with the same ticket, this one and the one beside the gate about the inquisition. Worth the visit.

The museum is interesting g but the displays are fairly limited. Soe t only about 45min and we were done. EUR50 for a family of 5 so quite expensive. Still worth a visit but I think the one in Sienna has more on display.

The museum is quite well done, but visitors should be aware that it is fairly graphic. Our kids were entertained but only because they were too young to really grasp the significance, and I'm not sure I would take them back again. Worth seeing how brutal humans can be to each other as a reminder.

Even though it might seem small at first, this extremely unique museum has quite detailed exhibit descriptions and interesting material. Didn’t finish the entire thing as we got a bit sick by the end, however I would still recommend one go. the 10 euro ticket gets you admission to this Museum AND the torture museum nearby
