Destination Liguria

The coastal region of Liguria will amaze with an enchanting contrast between mountains and sea. Liguria’s mountains stretch so close to the sea that you will find many spots with amazing steep cliff lines that are characteristic for this part of Italy. Between the cliffs you will find small bays, long beaches and charming coastal towns while the backlands await you with vineyards, green woods and olive groves.  This charming little neighbor of the well-known region of Tuscany is quite an insider tip and enchants its visitors with its originality and its regional cuisine.

Destination Tuscany

Tuscany is an already a well-known holiday destination where lovers of arts, culture and good wine never regret spending their time. Tuscany is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Famous cities such as Lucca, Florence, Siena and Pisa offer such an abundance of cultural treasures that sometimes it´s hard to choose what to visit on a sightseeing trip first. The backlands of Tuscany are speckled with medieval fortresses, cypresses and wide vineyards which are homes to some of the best Italian wines such as “Brunello di Montalcino”, “Vino Nobile di Montepulciano” and “Vernaccia di San Gimignano”.
