🌍 Travel Tips

Tuscany offers the perfect combination of sea, nature, and culture. Spring and summer are the best seasons to visit the islands and the coast, with mild weather and long days. In the low season, prices are lower but some ferry routes may operate less frequently. For sea and nature lovers, Elba Island features beautiful beaches, hiking trails, historic villages linked to Napoleon, and delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Giglio Island, smaller and more intimate, is perfect for finding hidden coves and picturesque villages, while Capraia attracts visitors with its cliffs and natural trails. Pianosa offers peace and historic charm thanks to its archeological remains.

🌴 Travelers with a car can follow a panoramic itinerary along the Tuscan coast: from Livorno to Piombino, with stops at Elba, Porto Santo Stefano for Giglio Island, or Capraia, exploring villages and beaches along the way.

🍴 Tuscan cuisine is a true culinary journey: seafood dishes like cacciucco, spaghetti with clams, potato tortelli, local wines, and traditional desserts offer an authentic gastronomic experience. Local markets and trattorias are the perfect places to discover fresh and traditional products.
