Gorgeous beach all in white and blue. The white stones are very pretty with the transparent sea. The whole beach and water was very clean. The beach is quite small and could be very crowded. We went at late afternoon and it was perfect as some people were leaving.

Sand is clean, sea is blue, on sides are cliffs and on one of them is camping on terraces. Lovely beach, busy with lots of families, so don't expect a quiet escape. Very popular for families with kids. Five stars for the lack of infrastructure for such a wide central beach. Very beautiful water, very sandy seabed not ideal for those who love snorkeling. Long shallow backdrop, ideal for children. Crystal clear waters, with a thousand shades from light blue to green Elba. At the ends of the beach there are excellent rocks for snorkeling activities.there is also some stone while in the eastern part it slopes very slowly and is only made of very fine sand.

We loved it! The whole family had a blast! We went there on a Friday and waiting times for the rides were not long at all. What we love: ✅ The park itself is not too big that it’s overwhelming ✅ Different rides for different age of kids ✅There are picnic areas so you can eat your self brought foods ✅There are many trees in the park, so you always have some shady areas to sit ✅Staff was always friendly ✅The shows they offer were entertaining There are also booths for you to buy food from Mexican tacos to French fries. We spent there the whole day and it was totally worth the money. We can totally recommend it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Winter in Baratti This is a gem of a spot for an out of season little trip. Pristine surroundings: mountains, woods and beach in the heart of Toscana. Excellent restaurants in the western most part of the bay. Wing-Kite-surfers paradise when windy.

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Pretorio is very original and complex, dating back to the first decades of the 1300s, as it is the union of various existing buildings, including the 'Torre del Porcellino', one of the tallest in Volterra; it is located in front of Palazzo dei Priori in the square of the same name. (Original) E' molto originale e complesso Palazzo Pretorio, risalente alle prime decadi del 1300, in quanto è l'unione di vari edifici esistenti, compresa la 'Torre del Porcellino', una delle più alte di Volterra; è situato di fronte a Palazzo dei Priori nell'omonima piazza.

Probably the most beautiful piazza in the region with cathedral, community buildings and cafes.

Abbey of San Galgano is truly a special place. We had the chance to photograph a wedding ceremony here, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. The open-roof ruins, the sound of birds, and pigeons flying through the arches added such a unique and almost mystical atmosphere. We also witnessed sunrise at the abbey, and it was absolutely breathtaking—just as magical as the history that surrounds this place. There’s something truly unforgettable about standing in such an ancient, sacred space, feeling the first light of the day pour in. If you visit, make sure to walk up to the chapel nearby to see the legendary sword in the stone—a fascinating piece of history that adds even more mystery to this already magical place. For couples looking for a wedding venue that is historic, enchanting, and full of soul, San Galgano is like no other. — Peter & Veronika

Amazing, wonderful, still calm off season, happy people, great food, hidden beaches, nice small hotels, nice walking ways and hikes, sweet shops with great groceries and sandwiches, talkative locals and the best smells with lavender and olive in may

Amazing wine tasting and meal without a reservation. Highly recommend! Waiter very knowledgeable about the wines shared!

Close to paradise I’d say. Pure nature with cristalline sea waters. Stunning views and 7 km of a dream beach

A definite place to visit! You can really feel the history and the holy presence as you walk through the grounds. Very special place

Absolutely stunning place! The water is so clear and warm, and the place itself is just beautiful. Highly recommended! There is also nice parking space for campers quite near in the case you are around the area with camper, it is easy to park there and walk short way to this place. The one thing you might want to know that there was a lot but A LOT of ants so when you leave your towels etc, dont be surprised if they are full of ants later 🫠

The most amazing and inspiring place. The park is well kept and the artworks are amazing. You can easily get lost in the details of the tiles as everything is so intricate. There are so many different sculptures to see, including sound works and interactive areas you can go into. There is no bus from capalbio station and we weren’t able to get a taxi so call ahead to book if you plan on taking the train.

Wonderful to find this small shop with some Kosher wine, cookies, and French decorative matza. The woman in the store was happy to point out specifically which items were kosher and which were not.

Painted burial tombs and lots of etruscan artifacts. Additional exhibits and collection including Lippe painting.

That's a very interesting archaelogical site. The visit takes two hours as we saw all the tombs' chambers with their decoration. On the tombs' walls there are also paintings of fighting animals, banquet scenes, flowers and fruits. The price of the ticket is not expensive, considering that it also includes the visit to the Tarquinia Museum.

Haunting and beautiful; a “raw” church experience. It’s not pretty or gilded like many other churches in Rome and Umbria, but it will leave you with a feeling like no other.

We visited a couple of the towns round this lake. Both excellent facilities, and the lake was lovely: water looked really clear. Worth visiting.

This is the best place we ever stayed ❤️. Me and my family enjoyed staying in this amazing castle situated on the shore of the sea wit breathtaking view on the sea from the balcony room 😍 and soooooooooo silent,the only thing that we were able to hear was the waves of the sea 🌊 ❤️ 😍. We will remember this beautiful acomodation for ever 🥰😍 💯 recommend to everybody

This 16th-century villa, designed by the legendary architect Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, is a masterpiece of Italian Mannerist garden design. The real highlight here is the breathtaking garden rooms, each with its own unique design and layout, perfectly integrated with the natural landscape. The water features are truly spectacular—flowing fountains, cascades, and carefully designed waterworks create a sense of harmony and elegance. The Fountain of the Moors and the famous water chain that runs down the terraces are particularly mesmerizing. While the villa itself is smaller than some grand palaces, the two symmetrical casini (small lodges) add to its charm, adorned with beautiful frescoes and offering panoramic views of the gardens. The entire site feels peaceful and enchanting, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Villa Lante is an underrated jewel of central Italy, perfect for a relaxing day trip from Rome or Florence. A true paradise for history and garden lovers alike! Highly recommended.

A great place for gateway from busy Roman streets. The Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, the future Pope Paul III, really had a taste in selecting this place to build the family’s status symbol. The Villa is full of artistic paint walls, marbles and frescoes. Furthermore, an amazing garden with several fountains are truly impressive. The ticket is 10€ and definitely worth it.

Amazing old castle, with an authentic atmosphere. Not like anything I have seen before, where the castles are refurbished and totally redesigned. This one keeps the old atmosphere. Also, the views are incredible, the castle is surrounded by a lake. Will definitely come back and it definitely worth the visit.

Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Italy. Ostia Antica is the original port of Rome situated approximately fourteen miles from the centre of Rome. This is better archaeological park to visit than the Roman Forum in my opinion, the park is bigger, better preserved and a lot quieter. There are lots of great examples of how how life was lived back in those times including a remarkably well preserved Roman amphitheatre. Highly recommend.

Completely worth the hype, 100% must see when in Rome. I spent a month studying abroad in Italy and it was the coolest thing I saw the entire time. The sheer amount of incredible art and the building itself will blow you away.

Visiting St. Peter’s Basilica was one of the most breathtaking experiences of my trip to Rome and the Vatican. The sheer size, beauty, and spiritual atmosphere of this place are beyond words. From the moment you step into St. Peter’s Square and see the majestic façade and dome designed by Michelangelo, you feel you are in the presence of history and faith intertwined in the most beautiful way. Inside, every corner of the basilica is a masterpiece the marble floors, golden ceilings, and magnificent sculptures create an atmosphere of reverence and awe. The Pietà by Michelangelo is one of the most moving works of art I have ever seen, and the main altar beneath the grand dome is simply spectacular. The attention to detail in every artwork and architectural element is astonishing. If you climb to the top of the dome, the view is absolutely worth it! You can see all of Vatican City, the rooftops of Rome, and the distant hills it’s truly magical. The climb can be steep, but reaching the top and looking down at the square is an unforgettable moment. The basilica is well organized, and the staff maintain a respectful and peaceful environment. Entry is free, though lines can be long, so going early in the morning is a great idea. Overall, St. Peter’s Basilica is not just a church it’s a journey through art, history, and faith. Whether you are religious or not, this place will touch your soul with its beauty and grandeur. An absolute must-visit when in Rome or Vatican City.

My visit to the Vatican will always stand as one of the most profound experiences of my life. A couple of years ago, I was in Budapest crossing the Elizabeth Bridge when the streets closed and Pope Francis passed by in his motorcade. It was a sacred, unexpected gift — a moment not planned, but divine. Fast forward to January, and after a canceled flight gave me eight unexpected hours in Rome, I found myself at the Vatican during the Jubilee, just twelve days after the Holy Doors had been opened. This ritual happens only once every 25 years, and I walked through them. I didn’t see the Pope that day, but I prayed where he had just been. I knelt, I wept, I gave thanks. For travelers: • The Vatican isn’t just a site; it’s a pilgrimage. Go with time in your heart, not just your schedule. • Early mornings or late evenings bring more stillness, but even in the crowds, there is silence if you let yourself feel it. • Book ahead, dress respectfully, and pace yourself — but most of all, allow yourself to be present. I left Rome carrying more than photos; I carried peace, gratitude, and the sense that some encounters are designed by the Divine. 📍 The Vatican, Rome — beyond a landmark, it is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with faith and history.
