  • Our Italian travel vlog series continues with what might possibly be the coolest Airbnb in Italy! Experience the enchanting beauty of San Gimignano, Italy, from a unique perspective! This video takes you inside a charming and historic Airbnb tower that offers breathtaking views of the medieval town and the Tuscan countryside. San Gimignano is a medieval town in Tuscany, lying in between Florence and Siena. It was once home to 72 tall stone towers, but today, only 14 remain.
    In this video, you'll discover the joys of living in an authentic Italian tower, complete with rustic decor, modern amenities, and plenty of space for relaxation and inspiration. You'll also learn about the fascinating history and culture of San Gimignano, from its famous towers and frescoes to its delicious food. You'll see us navigate our way up and down the 143 steps and 11 floors of the tower Airbnb, enjoy dinner on the rooftop with 360 degree views of the Tuscan countryside, visit the best gelateria in the world (Gelateria Dondoli), and enjoy a quiet, rainy morning in San Gimignano.
    Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, an artist, or a traveler seeking adventure, this video will transport you to a magical world that you'll never forget. So come along for the ride and discover the hidden gems of San Gimignano, Italy! We hope you like traveling along with us! Make sure to like and sub for more adventures in Italy that are coming next!

    Stunning! I'm so glad you stayed in a tower when you are young and fit because you can't do it when you get older. Imagine the workers who had to carry materials up the stairs and build out the electrical, plumbing, etc...and bring in all the furnishings. They must have legs of steel. Thank you for sharing your adventures in Italy with us!

    Claustrophobic- yes, I think I would have that feeling there. A feeling of being trapped. A little bit inconvenient of the constant up and down the stairs for almost everything. Waking up during the night to go to the bathroom would be too much of a challenge for me. Probably fall down the stairs. I’m sure, however, it was quite an experience to stay in such an historic castle. So glad u had that opportunity and enjoyed it and all the beauty of Tuscany from the window views and the top of the tower. Salute

    I liked this video very much. We've been this to this village years ago. Didn't know you could rent a tower. Magical. This was a very 'sharing' video. Nothing flashy. Thank you for being so open with us. You know, you have to get a print of the picture at about 03:26 in the vid. Where ever you live that picture captures the love of two people.
