The village of San Miniato
San Miniato, the prestigious homeland of the white truffle, is a village located on the ancient Via Francigena, with origins dating back to the Etruscan-Roman era. The castle of San Miniato was built in 962 AD by Otto I and Frederick Barbarossa and Pope Gregorio V also stayed there.
The city is full of palaces and churches to visit, such as the Church of SS. Crocifisso, that of Loretino, the Church of SS. Annunziata, the Convent of San Domenico and the Bishop’s Palace.
In the surroundings of San Miniato you can enjoy the fantastic natural views of the Pisan hills and, from the Relais, you can easily reach the many small villages that dot the area with history, towers and museums.
