24 Fairytale Villages You Can Actually Stay in Overnight

20. Bagnone, Italy – A Hidden Medieval Village in Tuscany

Hidden in the rolling hills of Tuscany, the medieval village of Bagnone is straight out of a Renaissance painting. Perched on a hilltop, this stone-built town features ancient bridges, cascading waterfalls, and an imposing castle overlooking the valley. The cobblestone streets wind past flower-filled balconies, local bakeries, and quiet piazzas, making it feel like you've stepped back in time. Stay in a charming Tuscan agriturismo (farmhouse stay), where you can wake up to the scent of lavender and fresh-baked bread. Whether you’re sipping local Chianti wine, hiking through the surrounding forests, or visiting historic stone churches, Bagnone is a true hidden gem that radiates storybook charm.
