Archive for 'Tuscan Coast'

Tuscany is famous as a part of the world that birthed some of the greatest artists, architects, designers, buildings, works of art and objects in the world. Those who visit are astounded by the grandiosity of Florence's historic centre, enamoured with the sense of style and luxury clothing brands, wowed by the pretty villages, and amazed by the great paintings and sculptures.

This history of design and beauty extends into the present day and into some of our vacation rentals in Tuscany that have the most extraordinarily lovely interiors. This week, we've been discussing some of the best of the best amongst the many on our site and here are a few more of our picks of the most fascinating and incredible interiors:

6. Castello Leopoldo (Available from €1428 per night)

One of the most exceptional properties of all on our website, this 16th century castle is located in an extraordinary position in the hills surrounding Campiglia Marittima.

In the last post in this series, we are rounding out our list of excellent air-conditioned properties in Tuscan cities.

Summers in Tuscany are hot and the cities are even stuffier with the crowds and queues. If you are planning a summer getaway to Lucca, Florence, Pisa, Cortona or any other fascinating Tuscan city for the 2019 summer season, which is now open for advance booking, then air-conditioning is a very helpful feature. These are more entries in the list that we have compiled of just some of our properties that are perfectly equipped and centrally located...

5. Apt. San Lorenzo (Available from €190 per night)

This apartment may be located in a beautiful and historical apartment block but it is also equipped with all the modern comforts you could need, including WIFI and, importantly, air-conditioning.

Capraia, the third-biggest island in the Tuscan Archipelago and the farthest from the coast at 54 km from Livorno. Almost all of the island is a protected National Park and there are only two settlements so, while there are places to eat and shop, the reason most come to this beautiful place is to enjoy its incredible natural bounty and outdoor pursuits. If you are a nature-lover looking to well and truly get away from it all, then find a vacation rental on the Tuscan Coast, or a vacation rental in Livorno, get up early and take the three hour ferry to the island, and spend time exploring this remote slice of paradise on earth.

Isola di Capraia – or, simply, Capraia – is a small island located off the coast of Tuscany that is a protected national park status and unspoiled natural gem that is abundant in wonderful views, perfect for adventure and rich in wildlife. If you have found a holiday rental on the Tuscan Coast, it is well worth planning a day trip to this lovely mass of land to explore, soak in the natural beauty and get far, far away from real life.

The island of Elba, off the Tuscan Coast, is already an exceptionally beautiful place. For those who have found a vacation rental on the Tuscan Coast, it is a must-see.

However, there is something that makes it even more incredible: a butterfly sanctuary that is part of the Arcipelago Toscano National Park, in a natural oasis that stretches from the picnic area of Monte Perone and ends on the slopes of Monte Capanne.
