Those who choose Tuscany as their summer holiday destination can select from an extraordinary variety of settings, whether a seaside escape, relaxing itinerary in the rolling hills, or, why not? Both!

Holidays in Tuscany: family and social life in Versilia

Those craving seaside fun should head to Versilia, home to Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, Seravezza and Stazzema, as well as the tourist havens of Camaiore, Massarosa and Viareggio. With a total of about 165 kilometers of long sandy beaches and shallow water, Versilia is an ideal destination for the whole family.

Versilia is a hub of nightlife, but also a natural oasis of immense pine woodlands celebrated by Gabriele d'Annunzio, such as those found in Versiliana Park in Marina di Pietrasanta.

Holidays in Tuscany: from Chianti to Crete Senesi

If you’re looking for a unique setting in Tuscany you are spoiled for choice: from the vineyard-covered hills of Chianti, a gentle undulating chain straddling the provinces of Florence, Siena and Arezzo, dotted with villages where time has stood still, to the magic of the Crete Senesi with its infinite picturesque landscapes. Picture-perfect Tuscany is famous around the world thanks to photographs and films that continue to capture the beauty of this region.

Holidays in Tuscany: history and nature on the Etruscan Coast

A very different but no less captivating backdrop is Etruscan Coast. Here, nature is the protagonist, from the cypresses dear to Carducci to the scenic vineyards, and Etruscan ruins await discovery in its inland villages.

Along the sea you will find light sandy beaches such as San Vincenzo and Baratti, which alternate with the darker beaches of Marina di Castagneto, Bibbona and Cecina, and wind-carved cliffs that plunge into the fish-laden sea.

Holidays in Tuscany: the charm of the Maremma

Maremma, the southernmost strip of Tuscany’s coastline, is a natural paradise boasting a shimmering sea, golden beaches, shady pine forests and wild dunes. Here you will find the crystal clear waters of Capalbio, small cape of Ansedonia with its fine sandy beach, the imposing mass of Argentario, a beautiful promontory home to the villages of Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, and the town and lagoon of Orbetello.

After Talamone, popular for its kite-surfing and wind-surfing beaches and sheltered coves, you will come to the coastal Maremma park and unspoilt stretch of Marina di Alberese, accessible only on foot or by bike.

Next, the beachfront village of Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala, whose long beach is entirely bordered by a beautiful pine forest, and then Gulf of Follonica where the beautiful white beaches of Cala Violina and Cala Martina can be reached on foot, by bike or on horseback (a shuttle service is offered in the summer) via a path through a dense and picturesque Mediterranean scrub.

Holidays in Tuscany: the islands

Finally, we cannot leave out the islands of Tuscany’s archipelago. From the well-known island of Elba to the wild Giannutri, famous for the rare beauty of its sea, to the island of Giglio and its stunning natural beauty.

Despite the array of options, it’s nearly impossible to visit Tuscany without succumbing to the charm of its hinterland. More and more, travelers choose to stay in the peaceful seclusion of a countryside farmhouse where they can restore body and soul immersed in the silence, slow rhythm and genuine flavors of this beloved region.
