Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Follonica

Follonica doesn't ask you to sit in traffic to see what makes it worth visiting — the real Maremma is out along the pine-lined lanes that skirt the Golfo di Follonica, and a motorcycle is how you actually reach it. Ride the sandy approach road toward Cala Violina at your own pace, then push south to Golfo di Baratti, where the coast opens up and the crowds thin out. Every twist of these roads feels like it was made for two wheels, not four.

This stretch of Tuscany rewards a bike more than a car ever could. The coves and hill towns nearby sit at the end of narrow, unpaved, or steeply switchbacking approaches that a rental sedan can't easily manage, and parking near the best beaches is scarce in summer. A motorcycle slips into all of it — the pinewood trails, the medieval lanes of the hilltop borghi, even the ferry queue to Elba — without the logistics a bigger vehicle demands.

Top 10 things to see in Follonica by motorcycle

1. Cala Violina — one of Tuscany's most photographed coves; the pine-forest access road is scenic riding in its own right before you reach the trailhead to the beach.
2. Golfo di Baratti — a sweeping, uncrowded bay south of Piombino with coastal road views the whole way in.
3. Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia — Etruscan ruins and a necropolis set right above the gulf, an easy detour off the coast road.
4. Populonia Alta — a fortified medieval hilltop village with a castle and panoramic sea views.
5. Piombino — a port town facing Elba across the channel, worth the ride for the views and the ferry terminal.
6. Massa Marittima — an inland medieval hill town with a striking Duomo, reached by a good winding road away from the coast.
7. Punta Ala — a pine-backed resort peninsula with coastal riding through Mediterranean scrub to a marina.
8. Scarlino — a small hilltop borgo with a castle over the Golfo di Follonica, plus the Puntone marina below.
9. Isola d'Elba — ride to the Piombino ferry, cross over, and explore the island's own coastal and mountain roads for the day.
10. Castiglione della Pescaia — a popular seaside town with a hilltop old quarter and canal harbor, a straightforward coastal ride south along the gulf.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Follonica?

For machines up to 125cc you'll need at least an A1 licence; anything more powerful requires A2 or a full A category, with minimum ages rising accordingly. EU/EEA licences are accepted as issued, while non-EU riders should bring an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. Expect to leave a deposit, usually a credit card hold sized to the vehicle's value, and most rental shops ask for a passport or ID copy at pickup. If you're after something smaller, some operators may accept a car (B) licence for 125cc scooters — it's worth confirming this directly with the rental company before you book.

If you can, aim for May, June, September or early October — the weather is still warm, the roads are quieter, and availability is easier to lock in without booking months ahead.
