Located in central Italy, extended from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tuscany is the undisputed protagonist in the world tourism scene. The landscapes, the artistic heritage and the important cities, first of all Florence, make this region unique in the world.
In this region the nature has many different faces, starting from the coast that alternates long and sandy beaches, like the Versilia coast, with rocky cliffs and steep headlands.
The islands of the Tuscan Archipelago are incomparable, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, a crystalline sea and rich depths.
Views of unspoiled nature can be admired in the Apuan Alps and in numerous protected areas, including the Orbetello lagoon, which is home to numerous species of migratory birds, including pink herons.
But the most characteristic landscapes of the region are those that harmoniously combine the beauty of nature with the millennial presence of man.
The splendid Gulf of Baratti and the sites of Vetulonia and Pitigliano guard necropolis and testimonies of the Etruscan civilization, while Roselle and Cosa return the memories of the Roman age.
And then, medieval villages, towns rich in history, castles and fortification systems, rural churches (the so-called "pievi") and charming abbeys, such as Sant'Antimo, are present throughout the territory and their profiles stand out in the landscapes of the Crete Senesi, Val d'Orcia, Garfagnana, Chianti and Maremma.
There are also numerous sources of wellbeing: Montecatini, Saturnia, Montepulciano, Monsummano and Bagno Vignoni which, thanks to the thermal waters and centers equipped for every type of treatment, offer relaxing holidays
