Where To Get The Best Pizza In Tuscany III

Continuing on from our previous posts, we have been tracking down some of the best-rated and most beloved pizza places in Tuscany. Of course, it isn't possible to try out every single restaurant, personally, or to definitively say that one restaurant is better than the rest, however, we have trawled across lots of different review websites to see what real people are saying. Just find a luxury villa in Tuscany, grab pizza at any of these spots and let us know if you agree with the positive reviews that we have seen.

5. Florence – Gusta Pizza

Another Florentine entry, this is the top-rated pizza place in the city according to Yelp. Located on Via Maggio, it is a buzzy, busy spot that is very popular with locals.

Venice is famous for her large-scale, colourful, indulgent carnival celebrations but did you know that Tuscany has another hot-spot for a serious party every February? The Carnevale di Viareggio is, in fact, actually one of the most renowned carnival celebrations in both Italy and Europe, even if it is less familiar to some. So, if you are looking to enjoy a villa in Tuscany and a great party then you should book your stay in a vacation rental in Viareggio for this February!

The very first carnival event in the city was held in 1873 and was organised by a group of middle class men who created a parade of floats that were decorated with flowers. However, this then became a protest rather than a celebration, when citizens who were frustrated with rates of taxation donned masks to conceal their identities and made their opinions known. Fun once again took over from political action and the parade became an annual fixture in town, alongside other events as part of a carnival festival. While there were some years in which the carnival did not take place – namely throughout both world wars – the Carnevale di Viareggio became a key part of the town’s annual calendar and only grew and grew throughout the second half of the 20th century onwards. Today, it is a major draw to this gorgeous city on the Tuscan Coast and a great reason to book a holiday rental in Viareggio during the month of February.

Come Stay In A Perfect Villa On The Tuscan Coast

Tuscany has so much to offer even the most discerning of tourists that it is no surprise that it remains one of the most popular and beloved tourist destinations in Italy and in Europe.

There is, of course, the delicious cuisine as well as the amazing wines of the region, the stunning rolling green hills and pretty historic towns that make up the landscape, the impossibly fascinating culture capitals that are the cities, the spa towns with their natural hot springs, and much more besides to discover during a getaway in this part of the world.

However, today we are specifically thinking about the appeals of booking a villa on the Tuscan Coast.

Versilia - Tuscany's Wonderful Riviera

Versilia is an area of Tuscany located right along the coast in the northwestern edge of the province of Lucca and is the Riviera of Tuscany. It is dotted by fashionable resorts and is known for its vibrant nightlife during the balmy summer nights.

Versilia is a wonderful area for holidaying whether you are travelling as a family with kids, a friend group, a couple or alone. You'll find all the culinary and cultural delights of Tuscany that one might expect, in addition to the relaxation or adventures that can both be found in such a the seaside location.

You can spend long relaxing days bathing by the sea and doing very little of anything at all, try out water sports with the family, party long into the night with your pals or stroll the beaches with a loved one at sunset.

Bagno Maurizio: The Best-Equipped Beach In Viareggio

While there are plenty of regular beaches, Italy has a particular tradition of paid beaches wherein you pay a fee to access a stretch of coast outfitted with lots of facilities and extras, such as showers, sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, bars, and more. You can, of course, go to free beaches open to the general public all over the country, but you will often have to do without showers or shade, bring your own loungers or towels to lay out on, deal with larger crowds, and bring or head elsewhere for various supplies like snacks and water. In the famous Tuscan seaside town of Viareggio there is one must-see paid beach that customers rave about on a regular basis: Bagno Maurizio. If you have found a holiday rental with a private pool in Viareggio and are planning on some beach days, spend at least one on this private stretch of the strand and you’ll have nothing to worry about and perfect, stress-free fun on the beach!
