Accommodations in Tuscany Italy

Accommodations in Tuscany italy


On this site you will find information on Accommodation in Tuscany where you can search and contact property owners and managers directly and make your arrangements for your accommodation.
Tuscany is the fifth largest region in Italy. Wedged deeply like a triangle in the heart of Italy, it constitutes a transitional, area between the Po Delta and Liguria, which are highly industrialized, and those Italian regions which are still principally agricultural. It stretches over the western side of the Apennines and includes the islands of the Tuscan archipelago. It lies on the sea to the west and south-west and borders with Liguria to the north-west, Emilia-Romagna to the north, the Marches and Umbria to the east, and Latium to the south-east.
Its limits are clearly defined to the north but less evident to the east, crossing the main ridge of the Tusco-Emilian Apennines and taking in the upper Val Tiberina, becoming even more uncertain to the south-east and south where they appear to be justified only for historical, linguistic and generally cultural reasons.

Residence Tuscany

Residences in Viareggio
VIAREGGIO: CARNIVAL COUNTRY
Viareggio is a town in the province of Lucca, situated on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the north of Tuscany, Italy. With a population of around 60,000, Viareggio is a highly popular tourist resort with a historic fishing harbour. Among its other industries is the manufacture of luxury motor yachts. To international tourists, Viareggio is known as the site where the body of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was cremated. Indeed, in 1822, Shelley’s body was cremated on the beach of Viareggio in the presence of Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt.

The name of the city derives from Latin Via Regis (kings’ road), the name of a road built in the Middle Ages along the coast, and still existing as Via Regia. The city was created in the mid-16th century, when it became the only coastal base of the Republic of Lucca. Today, Viareggio is one of the most famous and traditional seaside resorts in Tuscany. Its wide, spotlessly clean beaches, excellent seafood-based cuisine and exciting nightlife in the ‘Versilian discos’ have made Viareggio a popular holiday resort for international tourists. Among its other attractions are a Puccini opera festival held at nearby Torre del Lago, and one of Italy’s most famous carnival celebrations, featuring enormous floats that sometimes satirize current political events.

The town is also known as the home of Lorenzo Viani, composer Giacomo Puccini and writer Mario Tobino and is surrounded by the Apuan Alps and the lake of Massaciuccoli. Pinewood, a colourful harbour, shipyards and a three-km long promenade with superb shops, cinemas and a theatre are also part of the landscape.

Until the 19th century, Viareggio was a small fishing village. Its claim to fame was the daring of its sailors and the skill of its shipbuilders, who created the most beautiful wooden ships in the Mediterranean area. As the city began to spread toward the north, it developed its bathing and tourist activities until it became famous all over Europe and the world for its tourist facilities and its unparalleled natural beauty, beautiful beach, and luxuriant pinewoods.

Today, you can walk along the jetty, which runs alongside the Burlamacca Canal and extends into the open sea for almost a kilometre. The city has two pinewoods. One is located in the urban centre and known by the name of Pineta di Ponente. The other is called Pineta di Levante, begins at the docks and extends for six km as far as Torre del Lago.

Accommodation in Viareggio has grown parallel to its growth as a tourist resort. Our selection (www.yourwaytotuscany.com/Viareggio.htm) of Viareggio hotels, exclusive apartments and bed & breakfasts offer the best deals for a great stay during your trip, so why not check us out?

Cheap Tuscany Vacations Lucca

Lucca is part and parcel of Tuscany; the abode of the admirable Romanesque Architecture which is always on display and can be seen from all over the town. The San Michele and San Martino cathedrals are just two very good examples of the Romanesque architecture that should be on any traveler's itinerary to Lucca. The geographical position of Lucca also favors the town so much in terms of its sizeable tourism potential. Lucca can be found close to the Serchio River; about 80km from Florence and 30km from Pisa. The town of Lucca itself dwells upon a plateau with the Apuane Alps watching over it. The medieval walls which characterize the town are thick and strong. These walls were originally built in the 16th century but they still stand till today; thus surrounding the entire town. As part of a walking tour, one can take a stroll along or on top of the walls. This way of exercise alone offers a very good opportunity to see many hidden sight-stops. However, if this will be so much stressful to you, how about going for a biking or walking outing to visit the must-see sights so as to enjoy an enriching travel or holiday experience to Lucca? In Lucca you will enjoy many cheap Tuscany vacations.

Villas Tuscany Florence

From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, from extraordinary paintings and sculpture to frescoes and architectural masterpieces.

Visitors to Tuscany come for many reasons. Many come in search of fine art, others to explore the extraordinary countryside. Gourmets and wine buffs descend on Tuscany to enjoy the simple yet wonderful cuisine and wine. Walkers enjoy the mountain paths, cyclists the rolling hills, summer vacationers the sea coast and islands. Students come to learn the beautiful Italian language and culture.

There is a lot to see and do in Tuscany, the difficulty is really where to start. Certainly most should start with Florence, then continue on to Siena and Pisa. The roll call of città di arte, cities of art, is daunting: Arezzo, Cortona, San Gimignano and Lucca are all striking. The more you come to know the region, the more extraordinary Tuscany appears. Enjoy your visit!
