The Tuscany region

Tuscany is one of the most beloved and famous regions of Italy. Ripe with history, art, culture, it also offers the benefit of having a long coastline, ideal for the sun lovers, as well as a mountain range for skiing in the winter, or as a retreat from the stifling heat of the cities.

The Tuscan Archipelago comprises 7 islands, most of which are part of a recently-formed National Park. They provide further variety to a region of unparalleled beauty and points of interest for all tastes.

Isola del Giglio area

Isola del Giglio is located just south of the island of Elba, in Tuscany. It is a 1-hour ferry ride from Porto Santo Stefano, which is easily accessible by car or train (Orbetello station). Giglio is part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. Built entirely on granite rock, it's a mountain in the middle of the sea! Relatively small, it measures about 3 miles by 5 miles, makes it easy to move around it. There are three very small towns on the island, each with its own distinctive character: the harbour, the mountaintop, and the resort-like along the largest beach.

From March to mid-June you can enjoy a very relaxing holiday, taking in the Spring blossoms and the greenery, walking and hiking. In the summer months there is more seaside activity and a flurry of cultural and gastronomical events to keep most entertained day and night.

The castle has its origin in ca. 1000 A.D., with several additions in the course of the following centuries. It is a rather unique property and sits at the top of the village, within its own fortified walls.
