The nearby San Giminiano — the first city you should visit in Tuscany — is also known as 'Italian Manhattan' with over a dozen tall medieval towers and some of the best street performers in Tuscany. You'll be staying in a renovated villa that lives and breathes a rustic lifestyle, complete with a vineyard and stunning green views.

The Chianti isn't included, but we can confirm that it tastes better when surrounded by olive trees.

The term “Rolling hills” could have been coined here, where grapes ripen on vines in the folds of the valleys and ancient towns crown hilltops.
