One likely imagines South America when they think of alpacas as that is where they come from but these cute and fluffy creatures can also be found in petting zoos all over the world now. For example, Tuscany is home to a rather famous petting zoo with alpacas that visitors flock to from all over the region to enjoy the animals, taste some delicious food, and take in some stunning surroundings. So, if you book a villa in Florence and you are looking for an opportunity to explore the nearby and famously beautiful rolling green hills of the Chianti area of the Tuscan countryside while doing something that the whole family will enjoy, just head to the Valle degli Alpaca, or Valley of the Alpacas.

The gorgeous Viareggio is one of the highlights along the Tuscan Coast, an incredible gem that is celebrated for its rich traditions and pristine beaches. And for those who book a villa in Viareggio, the city not only promises a plethora of attractions of its own but it also serves as a very convenient base for day trips across the Tuscan region, allowing you to both enjoy a seaside break and all of the charms of a stay in a villa in Tuscany. However, for those who are exploring Viareggio itself and are looking to make the most of the natural beauty of the area and to stretch their legs, maybe to even take a bit of a break from the sun on a hot summer’s day, then we recommend a visit to the Parco Pineta di Ponente, also known as the Western Pine Forest Park.
