Jim enjoying the view from our apartment for the week

Rick Steeves describes San G as the epitome of a Tuscan hill town “with 14 medieval towers still standing (out of an original 72) …and….. is a perfectly preserved tourist trap.”  He goes on to say that it is so worth the visit and is spectacularly beautiful…..and we all agree.     We decided to stay here because two of my sisters and their husbands came two years ago and used San G as their base to explore Tuscany and we’re staying in  the same apartment they rented at the time.   The apartment is great, the walled town is stunning and the place is extremely quiet except for when the tour buses come, park outside the gates, and the gelato line-ups are a mile long!  It’s about a 50-70 minute drive to most of the places we want to see so day trips will be the order of the day and a mixture of suppers at home and away……the fun under the Tuscan sun has begun!
