The Tree of Love in the Tuscan medieval village

Did you know that the country of love is in Tuscany? It is Lucignano, a small medieval village between Siena and Arezzo, where a treasure is kept: the Tree of Love, also known as the Golden Tree or Tree of Life. It is a masterpiece of Sienese-Arezzo jewelery 2.60 meters high and decorated with rock crystals, corals, enamels and miniatures. According to a legend, it is a lucky charm for loving couples who exchange love promises in front of its branches and is kept in the Museum of the thirteenth-century Palazzo Comunale. Lucignano is part of the Association of the most beautiful villages in Italy and is splendid to visit with romantic walks through its streets that wind through its medieval elliptical urban structure surrounded by walls with towers and gates, and full of churches, palaces and beauties to see.

The Via del Bacio and the Strade dell’Amore in Val d’Orcia

The romantic walk par excellence takes place in Pienza, a Renaissance village in the beautiful Val d’Orcia, which is a real jewel with its infinite alleys and harmonious and beautiful streets among the stone houses with wooden doors and flowered balconies. The most romantic streets are the Via del Bacio, the perfect scenery for souvenir photos with a wonderful panoramic viewpoint, the Via dell’Amore, the Via del Buia and the Via della Fortuna, an enchanting itinerary for lovers who want to dream walking in another dimension , the one chosen by Franco Zeffirelli to shoot some scenes of his film Romeo and Juliet. Pienza is in the province of Siena and in 1996 it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. In the Piazza del Duomo, couples of lovers also visit a well. Is it a wishing well? Who knows … some say yes.

Romantic escape to the Tuscan spa

Another romantic paradise in the splendid Val d’Orcia is the village of Bagno Vignoni in San Quirico d’Orcia (SI). In the heart of the village, Piazza delle Sorgenti, built in the 16th century, is a basin from which the thermal waters that have come from an underground stratum at a thousand meters of depth at a temperature of 49 ° have been flowing for more than two thousand years. They are rich in therapeutic properties with beneficial effects for bones, joints, circulation and skin. Here in the past illustrious personalities such as Santa Caterina da Siena and Lorenzo il Magnifico have come and even today the medieval village retains all its historical and naturalistic charm.

Romantic escape in the fairytale forest of Tuscany

In a secret place in the heart of the Garfagnana there is a small village that looks like an illustration of a fairy tale drawn on the green waters of a lake surrounded by chestnut woods. It is the ancient village of Isola Santa, a pristine jewel nestled in the natural paradise of the Apuan Alps Park. It is located in the province of Lucca in the municipality of Careggine and is composed of stone houses with slate roof. In the 2000s it was renovated with a building renovation intervention in respect of the environment and sustainable tourism. It was reborn as a popular hotel where you can stay overnight in one of the stone houses decorated with plants and flowers, after a walk to admire the village, or an excursion along the lake or on the paths to discover the natural beauty of the place, such as the caves.

The Path of Love on the Elba Island in Tuscany

Wear comfortable shoes and set sail towards the Island of Elba where in Rio Marina (LI) the Path of Love awaits all couples who are also in love with nature and the sea. It is a path for romantic walks in all months of the year and, depending on the seasons, you can be accompanied by the blooming of wild orchids, rosemary, lavender and wild chamomile. It starts from the Torre degli Appiani in Rio Marina and ends on the Ortano beach. Walking together, you will find various well-marked branches of the path that descend towards some beaches such as the Marina di Gennaro, Luisi d’Angelo and the Porticciolo and then reach the tip of Madonnella. About halfway along the path, a detour leads to the Observatory on Monte Fico after a somewhat demanding climb, but it is worth it because once you get there you are rewarded with an extraordinary panorama of the entire coast including Monte Giove.
