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.

Tuscany is not particularly famous for her beaches and, yet, boasts many incredible beaches. If you are looking to combine a beach getaway with a trip to Tuscany, just browse our vacation rentals in Maremma and find a villa on the Tuscan coast.

Here you'll have the perfect place to enjoy the seaside and from which to explore the cultural and natural gems that have made the region famous.

One of the best areas of the Maremma for beaches is along the Monti dell'Uccellina, a system of wooded mountains that stretches along the coast.

Covered with a thick Mediterranean forest vegetation and lower slopes that have been deforested and transformed into olive groves and pastures.
