Porto Ercole-Tuscany's hidden gem

I was born and raised in a beautiful town by the sea called Porto Ercole. I love my town and I am lucky to have been born here. My childhood and my life have been amazing for many reasons, and one of them is to have had this beautiful and magic place as my world. The reason why I decided to open this page is that I would like everyone to see Porto Ercole the way I see it, and to fall in l

ove with it. Porto Ercole is a small town by the see, and is full of surprises for whoever goes and visit. If you need a relaxing break, you can go to one of the amazing beaches and spend the whole day enjoying the sunshine. If you are more active instead, you can go running or cycling along the numerous routes along the coast or inland. Good food and drinks are the icing on the cake, the town is buzzing with nice restaurants and bars. For art and history lovers, there are 4 Spanish castles and the old town to visit, not to mention the Caravaggio monument. Amongst the numerous events you don't want to miss, in May the town becomes a Pirates cave for a whole weekend (notte dei pirati). A lot of fun and it's a good excuse for a fancy dressed weekend! On the 2nd June the town is celebrating the Patron Saint (Sant' Erasmo) and fireworks and the boat race (Palio Marinaro dei 4 forti) are only some of the events organised for the occasion. In August it's time for another fancy dressed party, the Flower Power weekend will take you back in time and numerous bands will play music on the Marina to celebrate the 60s and 70s. If you're looking for a place to go to for your next holiday, Porto Ercole won't disappoint you! Nice weather, good food drinks and a friendly atmosphere are guaranteed. With love, Porto Ercole- Tuscany's hidden gem
