The Tuscany region
The colours and the scents of Tuscany blend with the lights and fragrance of the Mediterranean Sea along the Costa degli Etruschi. The Etruscan sites, the crystal-clear sea, the medieval villages, the natural parks and reserves all make this area of Tuscany unique. Every season has its own striking beauty. You'll never be bored here as there's multitude of things to do such as visit botanical oases, sanctuaries for fauna, wood and thick pine forests.
The countryside is crossed by the prestigious Wine Route (la strada del vino) characterised by noble vines and silver olive trees. This magic itinerary unwinding between the sea and the countryside gives you the opportunity to discover artistic, cultural and architectural treasures. The Etruscans left important traces of their past presence, such as the only necropolis ever built by the sea in Populonia, a stunning location from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea. Historical villages with their medieval architecture intact provide ample evidence of the past.
