VERSILIA: YOUR SUMMER PARADISE
Versilia is a region that forms part of the coast of Tuscany in the province of Lucca. It stretches between Marina di Massa on the north and Massaciuccoli Lake on the south and is highly popular among domestic and international tourists as a summer destination. Its main centres are Torre del Lago, Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta, and Forte dei Marmi.

The fame of Versilia derives from a rare combination of factors that together form an ideal for tourists of all kinds. The Versilia region offers the widest variety possible, stating with 20 km of beaches with hundreds of bathing establishments equipped with every modern facility you can ask for, nature parks and pine woods, a splendid lake and stunning countryside.

Adding to the appeal of the region is the massive barrier of the Apuan Alps, rich in marble and a Mecca for Alpine excursions. Inevitably, this is also an area that offers a wide range of sporting activities such as sailing and windsurfing, for which you can avail professional instruction in specialized schools. Tennis, jogging, riding, skating, cycling and climbing are also on offer. Finally, the jewel in the Versilia crown is the recently completed 18-hole golf course at Forte dei Marmi complete with clubhouse and an adjoining swimming pool.

The Versilia region is also a highly popular yachting zone, with prestigious yachts and boats from all over the world. The used boat show annually attracts numerous participants and thousands of visitors, as does the famous international Off Shore Race from Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio, held every year in July.

Also immensely attractive to tourists are the numerous cultural festivals, among them the Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago (July-August), the Viareggio Prize for literature (end of June), and the Grand Award for political satire at the Forte dei Marmi (September). The summer theatre fest, La Versiliana, in the splendid park of Marina di Pietrasanta offers performances of theatre, ballet, opera and literary plays.

TOWN HOUSE SUITES IN TUSCANY: STAY IN ONE!

Imagine living in a 14th-century home that looks stuck in time, yet offers every comfort that the modern age has invented. The Palazzo Torriani is a town house suite in Tuscany that is actually a historic home dating back to the end of the 14th century. It has always been owned and lived in by the ancestors of the present-day proprietors. The current owners have recently completed a thorough and careful restoration of the building, returning the mansion to all its former glory.

As a result of the restoration, the town house suite has three apartments furnished with antique furniture but endowed with every modern convenience, meant for guests who are keen on spending their holidays in an old world atmosphere, in the tranquillity of a small, charming village in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. And for the lovers of motor sports, the Imola racetrack, home of the San Marino Formula 1 Grand Prix, is close at hand. Can you think of a greater contrast?

This is just one example of the Tuscany town houses that await guests who find these beautiful accommodations through our site. Our comprehensive and all-encompassing list of Tuscany town house suites would, we are confident, put all other choices in the shade, so why don’t you check them out? We put you in touch with the owners of all our properties, of which the Palazzo Torriani is only an example.

Our properties boast such amenities as air-conditioning, swimming pools, barbecues, and truly spectacular natural surroundings. The "Azienda Agrituristica" Lucignanello Bandini is an example. Situated on the southernmost tip of Tuscany, in the tiny village of Lucignano d’Asso, it is a half-hour drive from Siena. The hamlet consists of two stony roads, two churches, a castle, a quaint little store and a number of smaller houses that look out across rolling fields and patches of woodland towards the reassuring outline of Mount Amiata, a visual point of reference for many miles around. The muted pinks, beiges and pale ochers of Lucignano’s ancient walls perfectly harmonize with the palette of the Crete Senesi, the Sienese Claylands whose rich, pliant soil forms the body of those warm-hued terracotta pots and urns that are a feature of the area.

As you can see, therefore, wherever you go in Tuscany, you will come across one of our town house suites. So without delay, see them for yourself here.
