Capraia
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.     Read More

Pontremoli
If you are a fan of small towns off the beaten tourist track, hidden gems and endless surprises, Tuscany is the perfect town for you. It is full of charming, little-known towns that are authentic, peaceful and exceptionally pretty. Just find a villa rental in Tuscany and begin discovering its endless charms for yourself!

One of these lovely little towns is Pontremoli, one of the main villages of Lunigiana, located at the bottom of Tosco Emiliano Apennines. In the lush and wild part of northern Tuscany, it is far from queues, tacky souvenirs and the regular itineraries. Boasting a stunning natural setting, pretty town, rich history and culinary tradition, and a slow pace of life, it is an excellent place to spend a day soaking up the atmosphere of daily life in a real Tuscan town.     Read More

Certaldo Funicular
Certaldo Alto is a pretty little medieval town in the Tuscan countryside, perched on a hillside between Florence and Pisa. With old walls, cobbled streets and amazing views over the surrounding scenery, it is a truly beautiful and picturesque place, full of the charm of times gone by. This is only heightened by the presence of the Certaldo Funicular, a funicular railway that links Certaldo Basso to Certaldo Alto, the older and newer parts of the town. Along the way, it offers excellent views over the new town and the surrounding area.     Read More

Butterfly
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.     Read More
