Being informed before going anywhere is very helpful in avoiding any little speed bumps and leaving you free to simply enjoy your trip. For those planning a stay at a villa in Tuscany throughout much of the year - but summer or autumn, in particular - it is worth keeping in mind that you are likely to encounter mosquitoes. Some areas can be especially prone to significant numbers of mosquitoes and some people are particularly tasty to the bugs and this is something that has taken some of our customers by surprise in recent years.

We often remark on the less-celebrated wonder that is the Tuscan Coast. The northern stretch merges with Liguria, renowned world-wide for its beloved coastal area, the Cinque Terre, so why then do fewer travellers think of a holiday rental on the Tuscan Coast when planning an Italian escape by the sea? 


Perhaps it is simply that the cultural wonders, heavy-hitter tourist attractions, and the iconic rolling green hills of the Tuscan countryside are too impressive that they overshadow some of the other, equally delightful traits of the region. However, we always say that Tuscany is about much more than the well-trodden narratives. There is an endless list of wonders, hidden gems, and obvious but less talked about delights to discover in the region!
