The sea that washes Tuscany attracts a multitude of tourists, coming both from Italy and from abroad.
If you ask those who have spend their holidays in Tuscany to describe its sea in simple words, the most recurring words will "beauty" and "cleanness".

Beauty, like what expects those who decide to rent a house in the Maremma or a villa in the Versilia. Cleanness, like that of the waters washing that part of Italy, as attested by the numerous prizes that every year are awarded to the Tuscan sea by environmentalist associations and by the reports of the Italian Ministry of Health.

Are you looking for a house or a villa at the sea in Tuscany for your next holidays in the land of the Medicis? You are just spoilt for choice.

• If you like unspoilt and still wild nature, if you would like to do long horse rides or adventurous mountain-bike rides, we advice you to rent a villa or a house in the Maremma for one or more weeks. In fact, according to a list the prestigious New York Times drew up at the beginning of 2009, the Maremma is one of the 44 most beautiful places to visit all over the world.

• If you are willing to know the most glamorous and trendy aspect of Tuscany by night, you should rent a villa or a house in the Versilia . The "Capannina" in Forte dei Marmi, the "Bussola" at Focette and the "Twiga" in Marina di Pietrasanta would be just a stone`s throw from your holiday base in Tuscany. And do not forget that between January and February you could spend some weekends in the crowd celebrating "one of the most important carnivals in Europe, that of Viareggio" (whose first edition took place in 1873).

• If, instead, you prefer a house or a villa overlooking the Tuscan sea, from which you can easily reach all the major cities of art of the region, why do not you rent a villa on the Etruscan coast? Ninety kilometres of beaches and cliffs - a fifth of which situated in protected areas - with a name testifying the past of the region.

Indeed, whether you look it from South to North or from North to South, the Tuscan coast is dotted with Etruscan and Roman remains that add a touch of culture to your holidays at the sea.

Renting a house or a villa along the Tuscan coast is also synonym with sailing to the islands of the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago, scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing .....
