One of the most sought after and exclusive resorts if you ask an Italian, but no more than an unpronounceable and unknown name to most foreigners.
If you are tired of the laboured tourism in the resorts in northern
Tuscany try out Castiglione della Pescaia before writing off the region as a beach destination. This town has all the charm and style lacking in many of the northern resorts.
The name comes from the large fortification which makes up the crown of the town. In the summer season plenty of lively restaurants, bars and cafés are open in the fortification, but the lower town around the harbour is also full of life. Here you really have everything you need for a good holiday by the sea.
