I visited San Gimignano last summer. I cant recommed it enough. For such an amazing place it is very unspoilt and largely unfound by many visitors to the area.
It is known as the "Ancient Metropolis" as there are lots of towers remaining. Also Tony Blair takes his holiday there every year.

San Gimignano is a small town with approximately 15000 inhabitiants. 15,000 lucky people in my experiance.
There are many great shops, interesting cafe's and loads of history. We took it in as part of a day trip which involved visiting Volterra. In heinsight I wish that we had spend a larger percentage of the day at SG. I feel that there was a whole lot more to find.

After coming back to England I have seen SG featured in a Holiday program. The presenter was sat under a conopy from a small bar in the large piazza. We too had sat there and despite ordering more than expected it is a great place to sit.

There is often a live band playing who are exceptionally good, they can even play with no instruments or singing!

I drove past the town last year, when I was holidaying in Tuscany. Unfortunately I did not visit at all, I think next time it will be part of the plans. Cheers, Jason.
