In Tuscany the holidays never end
In Tuscany you can not get bored.
Yes because holidays in Tuscany offer a wide range of activities and can surely satisfy every need.
Sea, mountains, rivers, lakes, hills, art cities, wine and good food. All this in one, unique, region.
Before the Roman era, Tuscany was known as Etruria because it was inhabited by the Etruscans. Later the Romans renamed it in Latin with the name of Tuscia, and then it became “Tuscany”.
The territory of this beautiful region is mostly hilly and mountainous.
Plains, covering only 8% of its surface, are limited to the bottom of the valleys and coastal areas.
Its physical conformation offers the possibility to choose from so many types of holiday, in the name of relaxation, nature or good food.
