Castiglione della Pescaia
Grosseto · Italy
A Tuscan seaside town in the Grossetan Maremma, Castiglione della Pescaia grew around a 12th-century medieval fortress and a large fishery — the latter giving it its name. Today it draws visitors with beaches, biking trails, Etruscan archaeological sites, and the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve, home to flamingoes, mallards, and ducks. The medieval hilltop hamlet offers panoramic views, vineyards surround the town, and the café and restaurant scene is substantial for a place this size. Property prices here rank among the highest of any street in Italy.
