Tuscany - for a group of friends

[fido]

Don't know Italy (only been to Venice) but planning a group holiday for a bunch of friends. Can someone recommend somewhere that has a nice beach but also relaxing walks and scenery (because a few of us are not into beach holidays!)? Film location credentials would be nice so I can pretend i'm on a film set and not in a group of bickering friends who will no doubt have a massive argument on Day 2 ..

Thanks for that. We're thinking of Florence - so 3/4 nights in Elba then drive to Florence and spend 1/2 nights would be perfect.
