autumn in Tuscany

Autumn in Tuscany: villages, truffles and autumn colours

Tuscan autumn occupies that golden zone where everything balances out: temperatures are mild, the days are still bright, accommodation prices are more affordable, and the village streets are finally accessible without crowds.

Tuscany's most beautiful beaches

Cala Violina, Fetovaia, Feniglia: Tuscany is home to some of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in Italy.

In the north lies Versilia, with its well-organised beach clubs, and further south the Grosseto area of Maremma, where clear waters brush against parks and untouched headlands. In between sits the treasure of the Tuscan Archipelago: the Island of Elba and the Island of Giglio, both with remarkably clear seas. Here, then, are the most beautiful beaches in Tuscany.
