Vacation Rentals in Tuscany

The nine provinces of Tuscany, namely Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Massa-Carrara, Pistoia, Siena and Prato, present quite different landscapes. While the mountainous eastern Tuscany around Arezzo is characterised by rugged cliffs and wooded areas, the wine-growing region of Chianti in the heart of Tuscany is topographically much gentler and, like the central Tuscany around Siena, is characterised by undulating terrain, lush flora and typical avenues. A contrast is created by the Tuscan archipelago with the island of Elba and Western Tuscany on the Etruscan Riviera, where the maritime influence makes for a much milder climate than in the hinterland.

If you set up your tents in one of the Tuscan metropolises, you can reach the local sights either on foot anyway thanks to the central location or, at best, you can take a taxi, because public transport usually takes a lot of time. However, to explore the area with its natural attractions and the many hidden monasteries, palaces and ruins from ancient times, you will need a rental car, which is best booked right at the airport. When driving on the legendary white roads of Tuscany, however, you should be aware that the braking and driving behaviour is strongly influenced by the fine gravel.

If there is one region in Italy that is more suitable than any other for culture lovers, it is Tuscany. While the ancient world is drawn to the numerous archaeological sites and ruins that tell of the life of the ancient Romans and Etruscans, lovers of art and architecture will be able to visit Pisa and Florence, where, in addition to the Medici villas, numerous Renaissance palaces, churches and gardens await discovery. There are also many museums where you can admire the works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance artists.

Tuscany is the ideal region for cyclists and offers suitable tours for both pleasure cyclists and ambitious cyclists. While pleasure cyclists are drawn to the Versilia region with its coastal stretches, ambitious mountain bikers and racing cyclists are taken to the lonely and no less demanding mountain passes in the region around Massa, where ascents of 1,000 metres in altitude await them. As this is one of the hot sports for cyclists from all over Europe, there are enough rental bikes on site, which can be delivered to your vacation rental on request.
