Casole d’Elsa is the prettiest of hilltop towns. Removed from the maddening crowds of celebrated Tuscan honeypots, this immaculately maintained village is the epitome of civic pride with its trademark town walls, breezy benches and quality attractions.
Take the lift or walk the short climb up to the town walls, which include two rotund towers dating to the 15th century, and the 14th-century fortress, known as the Rocca, which now acts as the town hall. Wander inside the Rocca to learn some local history from the information panels affixed to the medieval walls before marvelling at the impressive views over the plain from piazza Luchetti.
