San Donato In Poggio hotels, Italy

San Donato in Poggio dates back to the Romans... a military "castrum" defending the military via Cassia which, on the way from Siena, passes over the hills and crosses the Pesa valley. Inside the citadel there is the suggestive Piazza Malaspina flanked by the Palazzo of the same name, and in the centre of the piazza an octagonal well beneath which lies a cistern embracing the whole area of the piazza. San Donato is cited in the history books for having been twice chosen as seat of peace treaties (1176 and 1265).lt was at San Donato that the Florentines perfected their military strategy and completed their final preparations for war before leaving for the Battle of Montaperti (1260).
