The views of San Miniato are incredible, but when you dip into the history in this tiny hilltop village, you will understand what makes this town such a true "hidden gem". It lies along the Via Francagena, an ancient pilgrimage route still used today and has breathtaking frescoes hiding inside unassuming buildings. Its sky-scraping tower at the pinnacle adds another level to its history, and it also doesn't hurt that San Miniato is known for its prized white truffles!
