Amazing Tower Apartment
Staying at the Palazzo Stiozzi Ridolfi Tower Apartment was an incredible experience from start to finish. The apartment itself is full of character and history—every corner feels unique and thoughtfully preserved. But what truly sets it apart is the spectacular rooftop view. From the top of the tower, you’re treated to panoramic vistas of San Gimignano’s medieval skyline and the rolling Tuscan countryside—sunrises and sunsets here are absolutely breathtaking.
