A road through history. A journey through time.
For over a thousand years, the Via Francigena has connected Canterbury to Rome, crossing Europe through landscapes, villages and places shaped by centuries of history.
In 990 AD, Sigeric, Archbishop of Canterbury, travelled to Rome and recorded the stages of his journey. His diary became the earliest and most important account of the medieval route.
Today, the Via Francigena is once again a living path — a journey through nature, culture and a slower, more meaningful way of experiencing the land.
Between San Gimignano and Siena, the castle, the village itself, thevilla and the farm stand along this historic route.
For us, preserving these places means protecting their genius loci — their history, landscape and sense of community.
Because developing a place also means taking responsibility for its heritage.
