Populonia, hamlet of Piombino (LI) - The most beautiful villages in Italy - Gulf of Baratti - Tuscany
Perched on the promontory of the municipality of Piombino, Populonia is one of the most romantic villages I have ever visited. Our destination was the Castle, a true medieval fortified complex equipped with a watchtower and defensive walls, located right on the hill where the ancient acropolis of the city stood during the Etruscan era.
Passing through the only access door obtained in the walls, you find yourself immersed in a small jewel, which represents an example of perfect integration between ancient and modern: the buildings of the medieval village, today house craft shops and local products, structures of refreshment inserted inside the medieval architectures without distorting too much the original aspect.
I left a part of myself ... could it have been the Tuscan aperitif with a view of the sea and the sunset? 😍
The village has a delightful terrace frequented by both tourists and locals. This fills up, especially for the evening aperitif. It is famous for its view of the beautiful sea, which shows us the sunset spectacle.
In this village, you will enjoy a happy atmosphere.
