About Tuscany

Text
Ahh Tuscany… the beauty of this region never gets old. This is a place where rolling vineyards wrap terracotta towns, Renaissance splendour is splashed across its effortlessly elegant cities and the coast shows off Italian style and then some. Spend your days exploring the countryside and you can expect vineyard tastings, farmhouse lunches and green valley views to be part and parcel. Florence is the star of the show when it comes to the cities but be sure to swing by Lucca if you want a taste of local life. On the Riviera, it’s all Liberty-style hotels and golden sands, and the upmarket eateries are the perfect place to tuck into Tuscany’s bumper menu of simply divine food and wine.

Must-see cities

Love history? You’ve struck gold here in Tuscany. No matter where you base yourself, you’re within easy reach of four treasure-stuffed cities – Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Siena. Swathed in romantic Renaissance architecture, Florence is undoubtedly the star. Lucca’s charms start with its magical cobbled streets and buzzy piazzas, while red-roofed Siena’s Gothic centre will leave you spellbound. And Pisa’s got so much more than just its tilted tower.

Eat your heart out

In terms of wining and dining, Tuscany sets Italy’s bar pretty high. Juicy T-bone steaks, bowls of hearty ribollita soup and truffle-infused pasta are just some of the best bits you can expect from Tuscan trattorias. And the wine? Well, the area’s something of a mecca, making it the ultimate place to tour and taste. Brunello, Chianti, Morellino – they’re all made in the vineyards here.

Captivating coast

Rolling green hills and medieval villages may be the scenes splashed on most Tuscan postcards, but this part of Italy’s got a twinkling coast to its name too. Venture to Viareggio, the region’s chief seaside spot, where striped parasols embellish sandy shores and grand hotels pepper a palm-lined promenade. Forte Dei Marmi’s another swanky stunner, where exclusive beach clubs and chic cocktail bars take centre stage.

Resorts

Beaches

Tuscany’s got 400km of coastline to play with, so settle on a soft sandy spot and drink in the seafront scenery. Have a paddle as the waves shelve against the shore, or simply kick back and chill out. Many of the area’s beaches have promenades and dinky towns to explore, too.

Sights

Architectural treats and treasures are in abundance around the countryside. History buffs can get stuck into ancient palaces, traditional town halls, and even some well-preserved UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Wind and weave around cobbled streets and old towns, and you’ll soon get a snapshot of the past.
3

Activities

From waterparks to woodlands, you’ll have plenty to see and do. Whizz off by car to uncover the best bits. There’s a quintet of remarkable waterfront towns to traverse, and a handful of mega museums too. Make a start with ticking off those boxes in Volterra or Cecina.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Turn umming and ahhing into oohing and mmming. You’ll be spoilt for choice with every menu you look at, so you won’t struggle to find your perfect pizza or pasta! Get set for tempting, tantalising mouthfuls of fresh fish and seafood, risotto, rich soups, and fruity gelato.
3

Shopping (beaches)

Whether it’s malls or markets you’re after, you’ll be well catered-for here. So, you can shop for those this-season must-haves in your high-street favourites, or even opt for a little touch of luxury in the boutiques. But quaint streets regularly host colourful stalls, so make sure you rock up on the right day.

Nightlife

The general pace is very laid-back. So, keep it low-key with a glass of wine in a rustic pub. You’ll find a couple of cute seaside places in Marina di Cecina. But the bars get a bit busier in the more cosmopolitan parts. Aperol Spritzes go down so well in chic Siena.
