Tuscany is dotted by endless charming little towns, many of them set on hilltops and in scenic locations, allowing visitors to admire sweeping vistas of the famously lovely Tuscan countryside. However, among these, the town of Careggine, nestled in the Apuan Alps, may afford some of the most remarkable views in the region and access to some excellent settings for outdoor pursuits.


A perfect day-trip for those who find a villa in Lucca and are enjoying the delights of that stunning medieval city, we highly recommend coming to breathe in the fresh air and to take in the astounding views while hiking, exploring, or even skiing.

Left it late to book your vacation this year? Or maybe you prefer a slightly off-season holiday to avoid the especially hot weather? Well, either way, it might be an idea to book your holiday rental in Tuscany for September instead! Not only can the weather remain pretty warm (but not too hot, either!) and sunny for the first couple weeks of the month but prices will begin to lower and tourist crowds will begin to thin, making September a great choice for many travellers.
