Lake Massaciuccoli
Lake Massaciuccoli is a lake in the Province of Lucca, Tuscany, that is home to a wildlife oasis in a marsh. While the wildlife and vegetation may have shrunk substantially since the 20th century, the lake is still an area of great natural beauty and bounty. There is much to see and do and the surroundings are pretty alright too.

A boardwalk extends over the edge of the lake and all around it, allowing you to readily and comfortably explore the flora and fauna that can be seen blooming and frolicking around the lake.

Not a particularly challenging walk, it offers a chance to get out and about and stretch your legs in a wonderfully scenic setting, without having to take on an incredibly strenuous hike; something that those with younger kids, limited mobility or less will, to appreciate.     Read More

  

speedboating
If you enjoy extreme sports without the element of extreme risk then perhaps some high speed sailing, jet skiing or wakeboarding would be ideal activities for you? There are fantastic water sport centres all over Tuscany where lessons can be booked, and also shops to hire equipment to enjoy yourself!

The Livorno and Versilia coastal areas are particularly abundant in these facilities and have a wonderful selection of Tuscany vacation rentals available, most with spectacular views of the sea to choose from.


Start your adventure holiday with a refreshing trip out to sea in a stimulating speedboat ride, a yacht or a tour boat and breathe in the fresh salty air. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the beauty of the Tuscan coastline like you’ve never seen it before. Gaze upon the majestic ruins of old fortresses, explore secluded beaches on the islands belonging to the Tuscan Archipelago and look below the surface of the crystal clear waters in search of shipwrecks that struck some treacherous rocks many years ago!     Read More
