As I mentioned in my previous post, Going All The Way To Italy For San Miniato’s White Truffle Festival, San Miniato is a tiny hill town in Northern Tuscany. While most famous for its namesake white truffle festival held every November, San Miniato makes an interesting and easy stop any time of the year, especially since its between Florence and Pisa! And, its ridiculously gorgeous and mostly devoid of foreign tourists.
Fall in stunning San Miniato.
San Miniato is a tiny hill town in northern Tuscany, located right between Florence and Pisa, and you probably have never heard of it! While certainly not as popular as other Tuscan hill towns, such as San Gimignano, Assisi, and Orvieto, San Miniato retains a distinctly Italian charm and is almost devoid of foreign tourists (especially American tourists). To draw in some tourists , San Miniato boasts lots of history (what Italian town doesn’t?) a ruined castle, a handful of churches, and its most well-known draw, the White Truffle Festival! And yes, I traveled all the way to San Miniato just for its fabulous white truffle festival in November 2016! In my defense, I have always wanted to go to a real Italian truffle festival AND we were going to Italy anyway! So why not?! And, San Miniato is totally gorgeous….
