While culture and food are the two types attractions most raved about when it comes to a vacation in Tuscany, most planning a trip to the region are also looking forward to enjoying the incredibly beautiful landscape of the rolling green hills for which it is so famous. However, these pastoral landscapes shown in postcards and advertisements are not the only landscapes in Tuscany. Tuscany is a far more varied place than that: with towering peaks, perfect beaches, rocky gorges, dense forests, marshlands thrumming with life, and much more besides. As a result, there are a long list of incredible outdoor pursuits and activities that can be enjoyed while on holiday in Tuscany and, in particular, there are lots of great trekking, hiking, and walking routes to choose from all across the region. One of the best and most popular spots to go hiking for those who are pretty serious about the activity and are after a bit of a challenge - especially if you want to take in some truly gorgeous views along the way and if you have found a villa on the Tuscan Coast - is Pania della Croce in the Alpi Apuane, or Apuan Alps. 

A vacation on the Tuscan Coast is ideal for those who want to pair the wonders of Tuscan culture with a sun holiday full of sea and sand and fun. Along the coast, you will discover some charming cities, pretty little resort towns, secluded coves, popular strands that attract droves, islands ringed by beaches, and more, leaving you with endless wonderful beaches to choose from in the area. However, one of the most picturesque little gems that also makes for an ideal spot to watch the sun go down on hot summer days is the lovely Quercetano Bay in the little town of Castiglioncello, located about 17km from the centre of Livorno. This spot is just pretty as a picture, full of character, and boasts some unique charms that make it rather special indeed. Once you find a villa on the Tuscan Coast or a vacation rental in Livorno, in particular, then be sure to mark it down as one of the must-see gems in this part of Tuscany!
