TESTIMONIALS:
"Highly recommended as a must see for all travellers to the Tuscan region of Italy! We are greatly appreciative to ‘Italy and Beyond’ for their travel planning recommendation with San Gimignano as this was our favorite place in Italy!!! The romantic streets lined with wonderful high quality leather goods and clothes, beautiful stationary, jewellery, and gorgeous local fresh produce. The stair climb to the top of one of San Gimignano’s famous towers is worth it to see the walled town from above and experience the breathtaking views. Another must do in San Gimignano is a visit to the worlds best Gelato shop in the main square. Generous serves and a flavour for everyone! We returned to San Gimignano three times during our stay in the Tuscan region and enjoyed an amazing family lunch at one of the gorgeous restaurants over looking the Tuscan hills for a most special Mothers Day we will never forget!!"

"I want to tell you, for me, Italy makes me grateful, it brings me to life - I appreciate the beauty around me, I marvel at the history and the buildings, I get thankful for my awesome life when I look in the eyes of the Gypsy woman begging on the street with her children in tow and my heart opens with love and compassion. My suggestion is that while you are there don't let an opportunity to embrace the real you pass, allow yourself to love, to smile, to laugh, to breathe and take in the amazing culture and spirit of the place. Be a little crazy - do something random and nice for someone you don't even know - you'll be surprised how many friends you have there! "
