9. The most photogenic beach in Tuscany?
Follonica is a coastal city that is often seen as the “Miami” of Tuscany, with a modern, busy city centre and long stretches of beautiful beaches. Torre Mozza is one of these beaches, located just 3km from the center of Follonica and is named for an ancient tower built right on the cusp of the shore.

Known as one of the best Tuscan beaches in the Gulf of Follonica, it is incredibly pretty with the 16th Torre Mozza, an old Roman road that is now partially submerged and visible about 10m out from the shoreline, colourful umbrellas, white sand and bright blue water. Just find a villa with pool in Follonica and discover this wonderful stretch of coast.
10. A fairytale castle
Castello di Brolio is a famous and beautiful Tuscan castle in the southern Chianti countryside, located on top of an isolated hill a few kilometers from Gaiole. It is famous for its stunning architecture, grounds and views but is also supposedly home to several ghosts and is where one of the most famous wines in the region was born. Around for centuries, it got its distinctive Gothic Revival makeover in the 1800s and, as a result, looks like something plucked from a storybook.
