A journey through history and nature

Along the Via Francigena

The village of San Miniato is one of the most prominent and historic stops along the ancient Via Francigena. Explore the surrounding paths on foot or by bicycle—including the ancient charcoal burners’ alleys, which once served as medieval patrol routes and are now breathtaking panoramic trails—breathing in the silence and beauty of the Tuscan landscape before returning to your 4-star hotel.

Discovering Pliocene fossils

In the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci

An unusual excursion to discover that, three million years ago, San Miniato was covered by the sea. Following an evocative 6-kilometer route, you can observe fossils embedded in the rock and retrace the geological insights that Leonardo da Vinci himself recorded in his codices.
