Seaside The Tuscan coast is a unique destination for memorable seafront vacations.

The clear, unspoiled sea caresses soft sandy beaches, stunning rocky cliffs and romantic secluded pebble beaches, providing each and all, from couples to families with children to groups of fun-loving adults, with their ideal seaside retreat. Renting a villa along Tuscany’s beaches allows visitors to explore it all. The Tuscan coast is extensive, and comprises fashionable areas, such as Versilia or the Argentario’s Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, as well as off-the-beaten-track areas, like marvelous Tuscan Maremma and its pristine beaches. The Archipelago, a marvelous oasis featuring numerous islands. Some larger, like Elba Island, and some tiny like Capraia, each is full of authentic character and traditions. Visitors seeking lively beach life and entertainment will delight in vacationing in an exquisite Forte dei Marmi apartment, stylish and chic. The famed beachfront town boasts Tuscany’s most renowned and trendy beachfront promenade, as well as designer boutiques, colorful markets, not to mention countless activities and exquisite restaurants. Alternatively a vacation villa or rustic farmhouse in Upper Maremma will be ideal for those travelers that prefer less- renowned, pristine areas and long to experience relaxing holidays and genuinely Tuscan lifestyle, explore ancient cellars, quiet villages, and archeological ruins. A vacation along the Tuscan coast is exploring, building sandcastles, sunbathing. Strolling along breezy beachfront promenades, hiking or biking through extensive pine tree forests and sunflower-filled fields. Kite-surfing, snorkeling or diving, fishing and canoeing...Or, simply, relaxing on your villa’s very own terrace, delighting in the spectacular views and magical atmosphere.

Villas in the Tuscan countryside wherever they rise, are exquisite, rising surrounded by the fields’ endlessly varying hues or atop soft hills crowned by graceful cypresses, and ensure unforgettable vacations in all seasons. In the summertime, the verdant valleys turn to gold, vineyards become laden with grapes, and, meantime, your children splash and laugh in the swimming pool of your very own villa, or reach for juicy fruit off the property’s bountiful trees! Summer in Tuscany is a palette of sun-kissed days. Fall brings crisp breezes, clear skies and the sweet-scented grape harvest (followed by hearty harvest-celebration dinners). Winter caresses Tuscany gently, bearing the spicy taste of newly- pressed olive oil, snug evenings in cozy living rooms and roasting delectable chestnuts in your villa’s own crackling fireplace! Springtime in the Tuscan countryside is... an explosion! Days become longer and warmer, multi-colored flowers and balmy aromatic herbs bloom, chicks and baby rabbits fill the garden of Tuscany’s charming farmhouses. But where to stay in Tuscany?
