Dog & its humans on the beach
If you are very attached to your four-legged best friend and can't bear to part with them, if you're planning on bringing them with you on holiday and want to do activities where they don't have to be left out, or if you simply like dogs a whole bunch and you're booking a trip to Tuscany, then you need to take note of one particular destination: the Dog Beach of San Vincenzo, in Livorno. This dog-friendly cove is a wonderful stretch of soft sand, lapped by clear waters that is made all the more beautiful for all the cute critters wandering around.

Capraia
Capraia, the third-biggest island in the Tuscan Archipelago and the farthest from the coast at 54 km from Livorno. Almost all of the island is a protected National Park and there are only two settlements so, while there are places to eat and shop, the reason most come to this beautiful place is to enjoy its incredible natural bounty and outdoor pursuits. If you are a nature-lover looking to well and truly get away from it all, then find a vacation rental on the Tuscan Coast, or a vacation rental in Livorno, get up early and take the three hour ferry to the island, and spend time exploring this remote slice of paradise on earth.     Read More

Town
Isola di Capraia – or, simply, Capraia – is a small island located off the coast of Tuscany that is a protected national park status and unspoiled natural gem that is abundant in wonderful views, perfect for adventure and rich in wildlife. If you have found a holiday rental on the Tuscan Coast, it is well worth planning a day trip to this lovely mass of land to explore, soak in the natural beauty and get far, far away from real life.     Read More

Marina di Alberese
Marina di Alberese is the most famous beach of the Maremma Natural Park in Tuscany. It is located in a protected natural area, which has ensured that it has remained an uncompromised and uncontaminated beach.

Access is somewhat limited in order to maintain the fine white sandy beach and clear blue waters and there are just a few points of access to this four-mile stretch of the Tuscan coast, which is undoubtedly one of the wildest and most beautiful beaches on the entire Italian mainland. Just find a villa in the Maremma area and then make sure to set aside some time to unwind on her most beautiful beach.

Characterised by stark, pale white driftwood trunks lying on the snowy sand and lapped by a sparkling clear blue sea, the beach is also framed by the lush Mediterranean greenery of the Monti dell'Uccellina nature reserve. The whole effect is picture perfect and utterly serene.     Read More
