中世から残る本物の古い塔。歴史的建築物が好きな人は見逃してはならない。11階建、屋上からサン・ジミニャーノの景色を独り占めできる贅沢。Toscane Di GustoのDeboraさんにお願いして作ってもらったランチは、彼女の農場からの食材をいかしたすてきな味。最高の経験だった。

Unique experience with amazing location and views. The host had the place very well stocked and was a huge help. I couldn't recommend this place enough, you just have to remember your staying in a tower.

Ambiente unico e spettacolare, una vera e propria esperienza irripetibile, dormire in una Torre antichissima, sapientemente restaurata, in un contesto bellissimo come San Gimignano e con la cena organizzata nella terrazza panoramica a 360 gradi...

Amazing, amazing location and views. Interior had tons of character. And the hostess was very helpful with our check-in, finding parking, etc.The only downside was that my daughter now wants us to buy a castle!

Torre Salvucci Medieval Tower Experience
If you are looking for a memorable experience this is the right place for you. With its 42 mt high, the Salvucci Tower is one of the famous towers of San Gimignano and today the only one turned into a vertically-spread apartment divided into 11 floors, for a total of 143 steps. A unique and timeless place, ideal to experience something never tried before. The tower can hosts couples or small groups up to 3 people. Its panoramic rooftop boasts an incredibly breathtaking view all over the town. The tower is devided in 11 floors and each floor doesn't exceed 12sqm: 1st floor: kitchenette with bright living room and Smart Tv (you can log in with your own Amazon Prime and Netflix account) - 2nd floor: mezzanine with a coffee table and two small leather sofas - 3rd floor: bathroom with shower, hairdryer - 4th floor: pink design table with two chairs - 5th floor: two single bunk beds (each 90x190 cm) - 6th floor: queen foldaway bed (120x190 cm) - 7th floor: passage way floor, small bookshelf - 8th floor: half bathroom (wc and sink) - 9th floor: corridor, passage way steps - 10th floor: a second kitchen just under the rooftop (no table/chairs) - 11th floor: panoramic rooftop equipped with table and chairs, with 360° view above San Gimignano. The accommodation has a new air conditioner (A/C Unit) located near the foldaway bed on the 6th floor, and some fans on the other floors. Instead, heating is centralized. There are no passage way doors between the floors of the tower. We also recommend not to stay here to all those suffering from claustrophobia or vertigo and if you have problems walking up/down the stairs. Please note that you're looking for modern comforts or luxury, this is not the place for you. The tower is not suitable for stays with children under 12. Pets are not allowed.
The tower is located in the historic centre in a ZTL area. You can easily park just outside the walls. The most recommended options for parking are: Parking P3 Bagnaia, under video surveillance and paid at a cost of Euro 15.00/day, from here the tower can be reached in 8-10 minutes on foot slightly uphill; or you can park for free all along Via Cappelletti, a residential area with free parking spaces marked with white lines; you just have to check the signs relating to street sweeping day. From here the tower can be reached in 10-12 minutes on foot uphill for the first stretch and then slightly uphill once you arrive at Porta San Matteo. For those with a lot of luggage, we recommend to bring with you only the essentials.
