So, you’re off to terrific Tuscany, a twinkling gem in the Italian crown… Not sure about which resort though? We’re here to help by giving you a speed-date with every town in the Italian countryside!

For sandy seasides… Viareggio

We’ve got an idea of the perfect day for you and it’s in Viareggio. Start your morning by hitting the shelves of the shops along the seafront promenade before they close in the afternoon for a siesta. During this time, head to the golden beach to recline and unwind. Later, why not come back to the 3km-long promenade, this time for a fill of sensational seafood! Convinced yet?

For classic Italy… Siena Area

If you’re looking for that quintessential Italian feeling of wandering through cobbled streets lined with towering basilicas, city of Siena is the one for you. Sitting pretty in central Tuscany, Siena offers the ideal blend of nature and culture with a sprinkle of beautiful architecture on top. See it for yourself!

For the whole family… Tirrenia

You’ll find Tirrenia on the lengthy shores of the Ligurian Sea, where there’s plenty of space for catching those Italian rays, sipping an Aperol spritz and taking a dip. Add a waterpark for the children, wine tasting for parents and marina stroll for everyone, and doesn’t that sound like a recipe for a heavenly holiday?

For a rural retreat among vineyards… San Donato in Collina

Is it the cinematic Tuscan fields that are luring you to this Italian region? Then this tiny village just outside Florence is what you’re thinking of! Rugged mountains covered in the greenery of vines as far as the eye can see... This is what you’re getting yourself into. And isn’t that just the dream?

For soul-soothing spas… Montecatini Terme

You might’ve been to other spas before but the one in Montecatini Terme is a sight and a half! Not only can you enjoy much-needed R&R but you can have it between charming, 16th-century stone walls. You’re in for a truly a magical experience!

For shopping and beach-hopping… Lido Di Camaiore

Rocky hills coated in emerald-green pine trees on one side, glittering blues where sea meets the sky on the other – these are the views you get in Lido Di Camaiore. The scenery provides a blissful backdrop, while a selection of beaches and the promenade full of boutiques won’t leave time to twiddle thumbs.

For an awe-inspiring skyline… San Gimignano

Get away from city skyscrapers and prepare for a treat when you lay your eyes on rustic 13th-century towers that dominate the landscape and sit on an evergreen hill. San Gimignano is a timeless town surrounded by Italian countryside and filled with historic relics from its proud past for you to roam around.

For true Tuscan tranquillity… Artimino

Whether you’re a history hunter or nature lover, the dinky village of Artimino is where everyone’s got a spot with their name on it. Endless lush fields dappled with villas is a sight out of a film screen, so how about enjoing it while tasting local wine or taking a cooking class?

For hilltop views of the mountains… Cortona

Another top example of classic Italy can be found in Cortona. It’s all winding narrow streets between medieval architecture and chequered tablecloths in restaurants. The hilltop town is made for a romantic getaway or even popping the question! Dazzling views and great gastronomy – what more could you want?

For a plush getaway… Forte Dei Marmi

This seaside town has the best of all worlds. A turquoise coast with champagne sands? Check. Positano-style vibrant houses sitting on the cliffside? Check. Bountiful boutiques? Yes, yes and yes! Anything you need for your iconic Italian retreat, you’re bound to stumble across in Forte Dei Marmi.
