Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations in Tuscany




The owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in Flower Mound, Texas, Randy Eastburg leads a company that grossed $4 million in sales in 2015. A traveler in his free time, Randy Eastburg has visited the Tuscany region of Italy.

Although Tuscany is a well-traveled region of Italy, it offers a number of places off the beaten path, including the following:

-Lucignano. A medieval village located between Siena and Arezzo, Lucignano overlooks the Valdichiana Valley and features both medieval buildings and Renaissance palaces. 

-Fosdinovo. Located between the mountains and the sea, Fosdinovo offers visitors views of Portovenere and the Magra River, as well as the islands of Gorgona, Capraia, Elba, and Corsica on clear days. The village’s architectural attractions include St. Remigius Church and the Oratorio dei Bianchi. 

-Bagno Vignoni. While most towns have a central square, Bagno Vignoni stands out with a 49-by-29-meter pool in the center of the village. Visitors can also bathe in hot springs at nearby Parco dei Mulini.
