Enchanting Towns That Feel Like a Dream

Discover Hidden Gems

While Florence and Siena hold the spotlight, we assure you that the heart of Tuscany also beats within quaint towns that escape the radar of most tourists. Towns like Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and San Gimignano, known for its medieval towers, offer intoxicating charm. Wandering through cobbled streets, you may encounter the following:

  • Pienza: Known as the “ideal city,” Pienza is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and celebrates Pecorino cheese. Stop by local shops to taste this regional delicacy.
  • San Gimignano: Famed for its towers, San Gimignano is a medieval marvel. Climb to the top for panoramic views and savor the authentic gelato that has earned it a spot among the best in Italy.

Embrace Artistic Heritage

Art enthusiasts will revel in Tuscany’s enchanting towns, where galleries and museums highlight local artisans. Exploring these rich cultural hubs is made easy from our villa’s strategic location.
