Where Will Your Tuscan Story Unfold? A Glimpse of Diverse Landscapes
Val d'Orcia, Montepulciano, and More: Discovering Tuscany's Highlights
Some dream of those iconic rolling hills, bathed in golden sunlight. That’s the Val d’Orcia, south of Siena, where you’ll find charming towns like Pienza and Montalcino, and the stark beauty of the Crete Senesi. Maybe you’ve seen “Gladiator” or “Under the Tuscan Sun”? That classic Tuscan scenery is between Siena and Arezzo, between Pienza, Montepulciano and Cortona.
Of course, Tuscany is also home to incredible cities. Florence, Siena, and Lucca are must-sees, but don’t overlook Pisa and Arezzo.
And speaking of art, Pienza and Montepulciano are masterpieces of Renaissance architecture. Pienza is even a double UNESCO World Heritage Site (for the historic center and for the landscape)! Montepulciano, known as “The Pearl of the 1500s,” is a personal favorite. Its historic center is a joy to explore, and the views from the town walls are simply breathtaking.
Beaches, Promontories, and Ancient History: a different side of Tuscany
…And then there’s the Tuscan coast. Stretching from Livorno to Grosseto, it boasts stunning locations like the Argentario peninsula, perfect for a seaside escape. And don’t forget the islands! Elba and Giglio offer beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. For a truly off-the-beaten-path adventure, consider the smaller islands of Pianosa and Capraia, a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.
If you’re looking for something a bit wilder, the Maremma region in southern Tuscany is calling. Rich in Etruscan history, it’s a land of rugged landscapes, ancient ruins, and hidden gems. Or perhaps you’d prefer the mountains? The Casentino, Mugello, and Garfagnana regions offer stunning scenery, hiking trails, and charming villages.
