Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Tuscany (2010), page 112

The author Jürgen Sorges gives an impression of the region:
“When hearing of Tuscany most people think of olive groves, vineyards and alleys of cypresses which meander through gentle rolling hills. But the landscape is much more varied – and by far not as smooth as picture postcards try to make believe. The predominant part of the region is hilly, the northwest can even be described as mountainous, the southwest on the other hand especially along the coast of the Maremma is rather low as it used to be marshland. Today it is partly protected as a natural reserve.”

Tuscany is not only known for its impressive hilly landscape and culture but also for it relaxing beach vacation along the 300 kilometre long coastline with great diversity that passes on into untouched nature. Along the Etruscan coast (Costa Etrusca) the lovely sandy beaches, stone pine and shingle beaches alternate between the rocky bays. On atraveo you will be able to find holiday apartments near the beach in the resorts of Marina di Castagneto, Vada and San Vincenzo. Further to the south the Maremma coast joins up with the long sandy beaches lined with pine trees. If you like a more tranquil setting then one should choose a place north of the nature reserve Parco Naturale della Maremma on the beach Marina di Alberese. The ports of Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala are popular gathering places for sailing enthusiasts. In the north of Tuscany one can find the fine sandy beaches and lively coastal area of Versilia also known as Italy’ Copacabana.
