Easter 2026 in Follonica
Easter 2026 in Follonica: the lure of the sea and relaxation in the Maremma
Choosing to spend Easter 2026 in Follonica means treating yourself to the first real taste of summer in one of Tuscany's most picturesque gulfs. In April, the city leaves behind its winter tranquility to welcome the first warm rays of sunshine, offering visitors a vibrant atmosphere that is still far from the mass tourism of the peak months. Staying at Borgo Etrusco will allow you to enjoy all the energy of the coast while maintaining the peace and regenerating silence of the Scarlino hills.
What to do in Follonica at Easter 2026: between sea and nature
One of the unmissable activities during Easter 2026 in Follonica is undoubtedly a walk along the seafront. Kilometers of pedestrian coastline connect the center with the wildest areas of the gulf, perfect for those who love walking with only the sound of the waves as a backdrop. The Levante and Ponente pine forests also offer the ideal shade for an Easter picnic in the open air or for those who want to do sports, from running to cycling.
If you are looking for even closer contact with nature, Parco della Sterpaia is just a few minutes away by car. Here, centuries-old oak trees overlook the sandy beach, creating a unique landscape. It is the ideal place for a rejuvenating outing under the warm April sun, breathing in the salty air that blends with the scent of the Mediterranean scrub.
Art, Shopping, and the History of Cast Iron
For those looking for a touch of culture, MAGMA (Museum of Cast Iron Arts in Maremma) tells the industrial history of the city in an interactive and fascinating way, ideal for families too. The former Ilva area, where the museum is located, is a gem of restored industrial architecture that is well worth a visit. The center of Follonica, with its boutiques and historic cafés, is perfect for afternoon shopping and enjoying a homemade ice cream while strolling towards Piazza a Mare.
📢 The Director's Council
To experience Easter 2026 in Follonica like a true local, I suggest treating yourself to an aperitif around 6:30 p.m. at one of the bars right on the beach. Order a glass of chilled local Vermentino wine and accompany it with some warm, freshly baked schiacciata bread. Watching the sun set directly behind the Island of Elba, painting the entire gulf orange and purple, is a sight that alone is worth the trip. It's my favorite way to recharge my batteries.

Uccellina Park: things to do
Uccellina Park things to do: a magical Easter in the Maremma by the sea
If you dream of a vacation that combines the freedom of wild nature with the charm of the Tuscan sea, knowing what to do at Parco dell'Uccellina during Easter 2026 will transform your stay into an unforgettable experience. This corner of paradise, officially known as the Maremma Regional Park, is a place where time seems to have stood still, offering scenery that ranges from sand dunes to centuries-old pine forests.
Horseback riding and bike tours in the heart of the Maremma
One of the most popular activities is undoubtedly horseback riding. There is no better way to immerse yourself in the spirit of the Maremma by the sea than by riding along the trails that lead to pristine beaches such as Collelungo. For those who prefer two wheels, the park offers miles of flat cycle paths that start in Alberese and lead directly to Marina di Alberese, crossing pastures where it is easy to spot Maremma cows and horses in the wild.
Refreshing walks between towers and the sea
For trekking enthusiasts, planning what to do in the Uccellina Park means choosing between historical and nature trails. You can walk to the ancient Abbey of San Rabano or explore the watchtowers that dominate the coast. Every trail will reward you with the intense scent of rosemary and myrtle, with the constant company of the Tyrrhenian Sea on the horizon. Marina di Alberese beach, with its driftwood bleached by salt and sun, is the ideal destination for a rejuvenating walk under the warm April sun.
📢 The Director's Council
For a truly authentic experience after a day in the park, I suggest stopping at one of the small local shops to buy some Pecorino Toscano DOP cheese and a bottle of Morellino di Scansano wine. There is nothing more typical than improvising an aperitif at sunset on the beach or on your terrace in Borgo Etrusco. And for Easter lunch? Look for a restaurant that offers the classic handmade Tortello Maremmano: it is the true flavor of our land that you will never forget.
Easter Special Offer 2026: Get ready to experience the magic of Parco dell'Uccellina! Book a stay of at least 3 nights at Borgo Etrusco and take advantage of a 25% discount. Your spring break by the sea and surrounded by nature awaits you.
