In the picturesque countryside the gently flowing vin yard hills
of the Chianti, the green valleys, cypresses and olive trees interchanged
with the middle ages settlements and beautiful, ancient towns and
villages. But Tuscany also has mountains and woods, a long coast
line with rocky and sandy beaches and lovely resorts such as Viareggio,
Castiglione della Pescaia or Porto Santo Stéfano.

the cradle of the Renaissance, with artists as Brunlleschi, Donatello

Art treasures - from different periods - can be found all over. Just

Lucca or Pisa.
If you prefer an active holiday in the nature, there are opportunities

many old traditions, wine feasts and gastronomical events. The Italian
