taly is better known for its great cities
than for its countryside, but the exception
must be the Tuscany region. With its carefully
tended hills covered with grape vines,
cypress trees, olive groves, stone
farmhouses and mild weather year-round, it
is a delightful area for an interesting and
relaxing stay-put holiday.
We will stay in Viareggio, a small resort town
with a long, lovely Mediterranean coastline of
wide sandy beaches, parks and pine forests.
Parallel to the beach is a wide promenade
and lively shopping area. The town has easy
access to the great renaissance cities of
Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca, all of which
are included in our tour. Other towns are
easily accessible by a network of trains and
buses: the Etruscan sites of Volterra,
Cortona and Arezzo, the charming towns of
Chianti and Montalcina (known for their
wines), and Montecatina (a lovely spa town).
In Viareggio our hotel is located on the
Tuscan coast, in a region called the “Riviera
Versilia”, which features the backdrop of the
magnificent Apuan Mountains. We’ll stay at
the Hotel President, a four-star hotel that
overlooks the seafront promenade. The
beach is across the road and shopping is just
a short walk away. Hotel facilities include a
pleasant lounge, bar and restaurant. The
guestrooms are comfortably furnished with
two beds, telephone, satellite TV, mini-bar,
safe and individual climate control.
