San Donato is a small medieval village near Florence and Siena. This is Chianti territory and the roads that take you to San Marco and then to Castellina in Chianti are some of the most beautiful in Chianti. tree orchards, small woods, hamlets, farmhouses and wineries.
More information We recently visited the small town of San Donato and it was definitely the impression that it would be the perfect location in Chianti in which to enjoy a calm and peaceful holiday. The town is small but still conserves its medieval heritage. The heart of the town is still enclosed by the defensive walls built in the 12th century. We entered through the northwestern entrance called "Porta Fiorentina" (since it leads to Florence), followed the main street, Via del Giglio, that has intersected the town since the 12th century. We passed to the remaining tower-house from before getting into the main square. Here, the imposing Palazzo Malaspina (part of it now the B & B Palazzo Malaspina) In the center, the octagonal well reflects how important to well-being as the town On the other side, it is the Palazzo Pretorio which has preserved its medieval look and is certainly less than the facing Palazzo Malaspina.
San Donato has played an important role in the centuries-long struggle between Florence and Siena. In 1218, the town came under the power of the city of Florence. It was a place to stop along the road from Florence to Florence and to Florence.
In 1176 and 1265, two peace treaties between the republics of Florence and Siena were signed at San Donato in Poggio. Just 5 years before the second treaty, Florentine troops had organized just below the town as they were preparing to march to the Battle of Montaperti. Florentine Guelphs and for the town was surrounded by flowers. The peace treaty of 1265 did not last long.
Toward the end of the 14th century, the main pilgrimage and economic road started to pass through the nearby Tavarnelle and Barberino and thus the town's importance began to decline.
As we made our way out of the eastern wall called Porta Senese we come upon the main church of San Donato, the church of San Donato. Built in Tuscan Romanesque style, documents date en back to the year 989. The baptismal font in terracotta and glazed by Giovanni della Robbia dates back to 1513.
San Donato in Poggio. In our brief stop, we go to the Montecchio farm, we saw two restaurants, a post office, pharmacy and several small shops that would make San Donato perfect for your holiday in Chianti!

The property and area were beautiful. It is right in the middle of Chianti perfectly located. Patrizia and her family were very helpful with our stay making recommendations for us. The only downside is that there were 40 steep steps to climb to get to the apartment.

This penthouse is just as lovely as its pictures. My family of 3 truly enjoyed this small medieval village with its quaint atmosphere. The locals are very nice. Our favorite part was opening up the windows to the cool breeze and admiring the scenery. The beds and furniture are very comfortable and we felt very relaxed staying here. We rented a car and used this as our home base as we explored other villages and even Pisa. It had everything we needed and the hostess is very communicative and thoughtful. We hope to be able to come back again.

San Danato Delight
Our family of 4, including 2 young adult children, thoroughly enjoyed Patrizia's apartment in the village of San Donato. The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves, and was an excellent, central location to explore the beauty of Tuscany. Patrizia is a thoughtful host, and provided terrific recommendations to local restaurants and markets - she set the stage for us to have a delightful time. Thank you Patrizia!

This is an exceptional property in a beautiful and quiet little village with its own little buzz of small cafes and restaurants which cater to the locals and visitors alike. We hired a car, and getting around to visit the vineyards and farms was easy, and the drive stunning. There is so much to do nearby, but we enjoyed nothing more than we did sitting at the big open window of Patrizia’s penthouse, looking at the view, and listening to the chatter of the village below. Patrizia was super at communicating with us, and always available for our questions, as well as making sure that we had all that we needed.
