Local Living Italy - Tuscany San Gimignano
If Tuscany has ever called your name, this is your chance to answer. For seven days, you’ll settle into a charming farmhouse in San Gimignano - your home for the week and your base for exploring the heart of central Italy. Wake up to vineyard views, stroll medieval streets, and soak up sunsets over rolling hills, all at a pace that feels truly local. With free days to embrace the countryside or head out on day trips to Florence, Siena, and Volterra, this isn’t just a visit - it’s living Tuscany, one unforgettable day at a time.
Highlights
Share an apartment in our local friend Ugo's home, eat delicious Tuscan cuisine and sample regional wines, stroll the lanes of medieval San Gimignano, walk along the beautiful Tuscan countryside, make new friends at your home away from home.
Accomodation
Our home for the week is just outside the beautiful medieval hill town of San Gimignano. The property owner and San Gimignano native Ugo is a fountain of information about the area and lives in one of the apartments of his remodeled medieval house. We will stay in two apartments in his home. While you're here, relax on the private terrace and feel free to use fresh herbs and produce that are ripe from the garden. Located minutes from a supermarket and 600 meters to the town's medieval gate, the location is ideal as a base of exploration and relaxation.
In Ugo's home, there are two bedrooms with a private bathroom, as well as two bedrooms with a shared bathroom.
Group Leader
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.
