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!
