Introduction
Today I bring you the list of the most beautiful villages in the Tuscan region. It is very complicated to choose the most beautiful one and, therefore, there is an Association in Italy that ‘does the hard work’ for us: it’s Borghi Più Belli dell’Italia (“Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”). They are responsible for visiting, getting to know and including – or not – the most beautiful villages in Italy on their exclusive list. They analyze several cities, in different regions and, later, divulge the result that is always very expected, but never surprises us, because the locations are, in fact, fantastic. The list is permanent (there may or may not be changes), so it is not difficult to get organized to visit fantastic places. Let’s go to the list? Read also: The 10 best wineries in Tuscany! NOTE: the list follows alphabetical order, and not from ‘most beautiful’ to ‘not so beautiful’, ok ?!

5) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: CASTELFRANCO PIANDISCÒ
The built part of this Florentine land is at the origin of the walled village of Castelfranco.

6) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: CASTIGLIONE DI GARFAGNANA
One of the most charming villages! Here, nature resists alive and kicking, and contrasts in a unique way with the medieval buildings that surround the city. “Lost” in the middle of the forest, Castiglione invites us to forget about big cities and choose the silence and the purity of what is most sacred: pure air, calm and unique beauty.

7) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: CETONA
Among vineyards and cypress trees, we find this pure, elegant beauty with an almost indescribable charm. In Cetona, the remnants of ancient civilization merge with nature in a delicate way: “a mountain that is like the sea and that you can spend hours looking at”, this is how the residents define the small town.

8) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: COREGLIA ANTELMINELLI
Impossible to talk about beauty and not to mention Coreglia! The city appears in the ‘middle of nowhere’ and is almost imposing, but without any pretensions. Surrounded by chestnut trees that rise from the streams, it was a town much loved by artists such as painters, poets, philosophers and many others, all attracted by the priceless panorama of the Apuan Alps and the Apennine mountains. Magic!

9) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: GIGLIO CASTELLO
With centuries of history, the city continues to be wonderfully changeable, but without losing its unique essence! The granite on the walls of Giglio Castle tells us many stories, many events and makes us travel back in time, without leaving the place. The breeze and the ‘smell’ of nature are impressive, poetic and, believe me, unforgettable.

10) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: LORO CIUFFENA
The city was born little by little, unhurried, full of beauty. In the beginning, it was the Etruscan doe that ran in the Pratomagno forest; soon after, the medieval bridge, the mill in the historic center, the houses and, of course, nature, came. Nature here also deserves special mention: it presents oak, chestnut and mountain pine forests, not to mention wild mushrooms and herbs, which perfume the city in a way that seems to have been ordered.

11) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: LUCIGNANO
The name Lucignano derives from a Roman fort founded by consul Licínio; there, the numerous archaeological finds suggest that the city, at the time of the Etruscans, was densely populated and, to this day, the city tells us delightful stories about everything that has already happened there.

12) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: MONTAIONE
Montaione, considered the destination for green tourism in Tuscany, since 300 days a year the sun shines brightly.

14) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: MONTEMERANO
This small medieval town – built on Etruscan lands – is in the heart of Maremma and preserves all the tradition of its most distant times. Its historic center is surrounded by three walls, at the top of a garden inhabited by olive and cypress trees. When we find ourselves facing a panorama that extends from Mount Amiata to Argentario, and from the Albegna valley to the Tyrrhenian Sea, admiring a sunset from here is almost mandatory.

One of the most famous villages in Tuscany is also one of the most beautiful. Little Tuscan Jerusalem is shown in a simple, discreet, rustic and very beautiful way!

17) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: POPPI
Poppi is in Tuscany (you can read “Pupium agri Clusentini caput” in Vasari’s fresco, in the Vecchio Palace, in Florence), but it is a different Tuscany: it is a Tuscany from Casentino, land of Romanesque castles and churches, from Dante’s favorite places and the terracotta of Della Robbia, where the mark of the Middle Ages is even stronger. It impresses by beauty, culture, history and magic; this village is practically a poem for our senses.

18) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: POPULONIA

One of the most beautiful seaside towns in Tuscany, Porto Ercole is full of beauty and discretion, but it is an incredible discretion, which gradually presents itself before our eyes.

21) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: SAN CASCIANO DEI BAGNI
About the city, Veronica Ferreti wrote: “the gaze without limits on the smooth slopes, one has the sensation of hovering over a green and blue sea, in an infinitely serene place where nature shows itself with the sea, always changing the seasons and always with new colors ”. It almost needs no introduction, as it proves and proves, with its impressive panoramas, what Tuscany is made of: nature, beauty and charm, lots of charm!

22) The most beautiful villages in Tuscany: SANTA FIORA
Santa Fiora was the capital of the former County of the area. It was under the domain of the Aldobrandeschi family and then the power of the Sforza and Sforza Cesarini families. It was an autonomous state from the 9th century to the 17th century; after that period it was offered to the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, but remained autonomous until the reforms of Pietro Leopoldo (in the late 1700s). To say that the city is beautiful is redundant, that it is surrounded by nature, too, and to say that you will fall in love with it, it is almost to say that 2 x 2 results 4!
