A Quaint Tuscan Town Full of Character

Peccioli is a small town so tourists can easily explore it on foot. The most important place to visit in Peccioli is the fortress of Catruccio Castracani. It was built in the middle ages and the town had developed around the fortress, although only the ruins of the fortress remain today. The ruin of the fort is surrounded by various olive trees, hills and vineyards and is located at a picturesque location. The historic center of Peccioli is like most found in the smaller Tuscan villages and towns. It is quite compact with narrow streets lined with small shops selling art crafts, restaurants, cafes and post office. The alleys and streets are surrounded by oddly shaped old houses that have been standing here for centuries.
