Since today's stage to San Gimignano was the shortest of all VF23 sections for us at just 17km, we were able to tackle the entire day in peace and start with a good breakfast at Ostello Sigerico.

May 4, 2024,Via Francigena: de Gambassi Terme à San Gimignano

A variation of the Via Francigena at the end of the route to avoid walking along the provincial road which leads to San Gimignano.
