From Villa Vianci, a series of genuinely rewarding hilltowns and fortified villages can be reached with ease as comfortable day trips. These are not “checklist” stops, but places where Tuscany reads clearly in stone and landscape: medieval skylines, civic piazzas, Romanesque churches, Etruscan traces, and small centres where craft, wine, and history still feel embedded in everyday life. Below you’ll find nine curated itineraries, each designed as a clear, walkable visit with a practical route, the essential things to see, and one nearby stop to deepen the day without turning it into a long drive.
