The complex is located above the valley where the town on San Gimignano stands, a cultural and natural UNESCO World Heritage City, characterized by medieval towers and immersed in the green Tuscan countryside, now a place of elite international tourism The town stands with the outline of its towers on a hill (334m high) in Val d’Elsa, in the province of Siena, a region also known for the production of oils and excellent wines such as Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti Classico, Colli dell’Etruria Centrale, San Gimignano DOC, Vernaccia di San Gimignano (the latter cited in the Divine Comedy) The Tuscan hills, the proximity of the main cities of Italian art such as Siena, Florence and Pisa, the wine routes and Via Francigena, as well as the thousands of interesting corners, make this a unique region in the world.
