Clamber up the narrow alleys of this hilly town to see rustic buildings and views of the sparkling sea.

Castiglione della Pescaia is an ancient coastal town with a medieval fortress. Its Italian name refers to the commune’s fishing traditions, although today it is an international destination known more for its scenic views and sandy beaches. Campsites and resorts face the bays, attracting holiday makers from across the world. Come for the sun and sea stay for the historic town centre.

Find your own beach spot and rent deckchairs and umbrellas for the day. Capture photos of the traditional blue parasols on Bagno Pinetina Sud south of town. The Castiglione della Pescaia shoreline offers views of the islands of Elba and Giglio. Drive about 15 minutes south down the coast to reach Fiumara Beach, where waves and winds are strong enough for kite surfing.

After you’ve had enough of the beaches, stroll up and down the hills of the quaint historic centre. Purchase souvenirs and handicrafts from shops. The market near the harbour every Saturday morning offers a glimpse into the local culture. Haggle over fresh fish and admire the fishing boats and yachts.

See the 15th-century castle and town walls at the top of the hill. Browse the modern works of art at Strada del Contemporaneo’s sculpture garden.

Northeast of the historic centre, visit Le Mortelle for its cellar full of Tuscan wine. Stroll through picturesque vineyards and fruit orchards. Have a tasting to learn about the region’s wines. Travel northwest to the Golf Club Punta Ala to practice your swing. Enjoy the hotel, restaurant, swimming pool and spectacular views of the Gulf of Follonica.

Castiglione della Pescaia lies in southwestern Tuscany on Italy’s western coast. It is 125 miles (200 kilometres) northwest of Rome. Fly to the small airport of Grosseto and take a taxi west for 30 minutes to reach the town.

Vineyards, fruit orchards, a golf club and beaches complement the castle and historic centre of Castiglione della Pescaia.
