We have discussed the stunning coastline of Tuscany on many occasions and highlighted the incredible resort towns, amazing beaches, and remarkable natural beauty of this part of the region that is often overlooked by tourists. While the famous landmarks and museums, the historic towns and gleaming cities, the rolling green hills and foggy valleys, the vineyards and endless excellent eateries of Tuscany are all lauded and well-known for a reason, the Tuscan Coast is a true must and a favourite of those in the know. Many of the above charms are just as common in this part of the world but if you find a villa on the Tuscan Coast and spend time in the area, you will also be able to enjoy the things we traditionally associate with the region, alongside some impossibly lovely seaside delights.

While lots of people associate a vacation in Tuscany with good eating, architectural gems, picturesque wineries, incredible museums full of world-famous works of art, historic old towns, a pretty and pastoral rural landscape, and holidays full of rest and relaxation, those looking for a little bit of adventure will discover that there is plenty for them to enjoy in the region, as well. From canyoning experiences, to hiking, to horse-riding, and more, there are lots of things to do in Tuscany that will keep you active and offer plenty of excitement. However, for one of the most unique adventures that Tuscany has to offer, you need to head to the spa resort town of Monsummano Terme. You won't be coming for the wonderful spa facilities (although you could always kill two birds with one stone and book in for some spa treatments and time in a natural hot spring while you are in town), though but an one-of-a-kind diving experience. Conveniently located between Florence, Pisa, and Lucca, the town and this unique adventure makes for a perfect day trip if you have found a luxury villa in Florence, a luxury villa in Pisa, or a luxury villa in Lucca or is just one activity that you can pencil in and enjoy during your stay if you have found a vacation rental in Monsummano Terme.     Read More
