Bella Italia - S.G & Certaldo

After the two nights in Florence we drove down to San Gimignano where we had booked ourselves into a small hotel for 4 nights. We hadn´t had time to do any research about the area and were very pleased to find out that this was a little gem. San Gimignano is an old medieval town and there is so much history surrounding it you can nearly smell it. A couple of miles east we found another little town, at first glance quite dull but then we discovered the historic centre at the top of the hill.

                                                              Vineyards & olive trees. Fantastic views.

  

Lots of vino!

 

So quaint. Certaldo.
