Where we are
Discover the heart of Tuscany
Podere San Luigi is situated in an exceptional location, on the hills between San Gimignano and Certaldo. Our location offers a 360° view of Tuscany, encompassing vineyards, olive groves, cypress trees, woods and ancient medieval villages.
Discover the historical importance of the ancient VIA FRANCIGENA
We are proud to be located on the famous VIA FRANCIGENA, an ancient road that is passed daily by pilgrims and hikers on their way to Rome - following in the footsteps of SIGERIC, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who traveled along it at the end of the first millennium. Even Charlemagne stopped near our farmhouse in the 8th century when he was on his way to the Pope to be crowned "Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire"
