Our tip

Hidden Tuscany is an independent travel guide devoted to authentic Tuscany, far from the saturated tourist circuits. Our directory lists the places we have personally visited and documented: free-access wild hot springs, inhabited medieval villages, little-known Etruscan trails, discreet wineries, restaurants of trattoria family-run.

Each listing is rated on five criteria — authenticity, accessibility, value for money, photogenic quality and overall experience — to help you prioritize your visits according to your expectations. Whether you are planning a weekend in the Maremma, a thermal stay in Saturnia, a tour of the tuff villages or an exploration of the Etruscan coast, our directory is designed to be your starting point.

Use the filters by thematic hub or by place type to refine your search. The «Top ratings» ranking guides you toward our absolute favorites. Each card leads to a complete listing with detailed description, ratings per criterion, GPS coordinates and practical tips.
