    Review of: Torre medievale di Populonia e Rocca degli Appiani
    Great
    Not only this is an interesting building from an architectural point of view, but the vistas from up the tower are incredible! Worth a visit!

    Review of: Tenuta Poggio Rosso
    Glamping with 5 star service
    We knew Poggio Rosso from a wine tasting a couple of years ago and came back for 10 days of glamping. The tents are spacious and luxurious providing everything you need, including a kitchen and a bathroom. They are located amidst of nature with a lot of space between the tents. The level of service provided was exemplary, we got everything we needed and more, including restaurant reservations, complimentary coffee and museum tickets and a late checkout free of charge. Another plus is that you can buy a bottle of their great wine at precisely the right temperature from the reception at any time. We had a great time, highly recommended!

    Review of: Etruscan Museum of Populonia Gasparri Collection
    nice little museum with lots of archeological stuff
    with the purchase for the tower-ticket you can upgrade by a small amount the entrance for the museum which you don't need more than 10 - 25 minutes (depending how intense you wanna read yourself through the details/descriptions & how much time you wanna spend for checking all the stuff. worth the small amount of money for the upgrade.

    Review of: Cala San Quirico
    The cove visit, and the walk on the paths that reach it, are strongly recommended
    Compared to the nearby "Buca delle Fate", Cala San Quirico ("Cala" = cove) is much less known, for more reasons.
    For those who walk along the Piombino promontory, the Buca delle Fate is the first accessible beach you come across, whether you arrive from the Gulf of Baratti through the # 302 coastal path, or whether you arrive from the so-called “Reciso” car park through the # 301 path (direct, then shorter). And also the beauty of the Buca delle Fate is such, that one isn't encouraged to walk further.
    Cala San Quirico instead meets first only if you arrive through the # 302 coastal path in south-north direction (the online map of the paths of the Piombino promontory is available in some websites, e.g. "toscanacostaetrusca.it").
    The cove is located on the site where a deep valley carved into the promontory's body reaches the sea; it features a beach composed mainly of large rocks. Even the seabed near the shore is stony, and also has outcrops of large rocks, evidently consumed by the swell over millennia.
    Off these rocks the sea becomes deeper so you can swim, but I haven't experienced it by myself; in fact I visited the cove in March, when swimming is unthinkable, except for a few brave people.
    However, both the cove in itself and the paths that give access to it allow gorgeous views on the nearby Elba island, on the farthest Capraia, and by clear weather also on Corsica.
    Moreover the inaccessible nature of the place, and its remoteness from any road, make these places unique on the whole coast of Tuscany (apart from the islands) and therefore a visit is strongly recommended.

    Review of: Chiesa di Populonia
    A tiny, simple vernacular gem.
    Across the uneven square is this tiny church. It is elegant in its simplicity. Inside the interior is almost sparse in comparison to most Italian churches but it has a quiet, crepuscular calm. Free to enter.

    Review of: Buca delle Fate
    Magic
    This is an amazing place! I recommend getting there with a long walk from Calamoresca so that you can see one of the most beautiful places of Tuscany! Bring your lunch and enjoy the day and the sea!
