"I almost don’t want to tell readers about Isola del Giglio, a postage stamp-sized rock in the Tuscan Archipelago, about an hour’s ferry ride from the mainland. The beauty here is that there’s relatively little to do — just swim and snorkel in a crystal-clear sea, e-bike up to the hilltop castle, and, in the evening, stroll the small seafront promenade in Giglio Porto, the main town. The bright, simple rooms at Hotel Saraceno practically hang over the sea below." - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.
