There are few things that give me as much pleasure as discovering new, enchanting places in the Maremma. Time and again I am surprised by hidden gems – and the Nanni Chiosco Belvedere in Scarlino is definitely one of them. This viewpoint is just a short drive from Casa Ferruccio and offers a breathtaking view of the bay of Follonica and the island of Elba in the background. It is the ideal place to enjoy a relaxing sundowner under the olive trees in Scarlino and take in the beauty of Tuscany. Also ideal on the way home from a beautiful day by the sea. The current opening hours are always published on Instagram.
Experience the magic of the Belvedere
The Belvedere is a place where I can unwind. I still remember my first visit there – the clear air, the gentle sound of the wind and the vastness of the landscape were overwhelming. The view of the bay of Follonica stretching out before us is simply spectacular. It is particularly beautiful here in the early evening, when the sun begins to sink into the sea and the sky glows in the most beautiful shades of orange and red. A glass of regional wine in your hand, good company – that’s all you need to end the day perfectly. The ideal sundowner in Scarlino.
The castle of Scarlino and its history
The impressive Scarlino Castle, another highlight, is located right next door. The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and gives the town a special atmosphere. As I stroll through the winding alleyways of Scarlino, I can literally feel the history embedded in the old stones. From here, there is also a wonderful panoramic view of the Tuscan coast, the hills and the nearby sea.
The perfect sundowner in Scarlino
An evening at the Belvedere is truly unique – especially when the sun slowly sets behind the bay and the light turns soft and golden. With the view of Elba and the sparkling sea, this place quickly becomes a favorite for a relaxing end to the day. There is simply nothing better than enjoying the peaceful nature and spectacular views as the last rays of sun touch the horizon.
