On this page our agency specialized in vacation rentals is pleased to offer you the best farmhouses for rent in Versilia.

During the summer, the Versilia is now one of the busiest areas in Tuscany thanks to its wide sandy beaches and its major resorts. In Roman times, however, this area was characterized by marshes known as the Fosse Papiriane. The swampy territory stretched from the sea to the highest peaks of the Apuan Alps. In the nearby caves have been found artifacts that prove the presence of the ancient civilization of the Ligurians and then the Etruscans. In 180 BC the Romans conquer the whole territory and began land reclamation projects. In the Middle Ages, important families ruled the major cities, later claimed by Lucca and Pisa for several centuries. Today the Versilia attracts many visitors with its hilltop villages, its proximity to the Alps and the presence of wide, sandy beaches. Moreover many important Italian artists such as Gabriele D'Annunzio, Giacomo Puccini and Carducci lived here.

In Versilia you can sample the best of local Tuscan cuisine. The typical dishes of Versilia are numerous and, just as its territory, often combining sea and mountain ingredients. There are, for example, the famous mullet with broad beans and shrimp (or mantis shrimp) with beans. Moreover, taste also the octopus with lemon and parsley in white, the cacciucco Versiliana that compared to the classic cacciucco from Livorno is a less spicy fish soup, eels and 'spaghetti trabaccolara' (recipe from Viareggio which in ancient times was prepared by fishermen with unsold fish and is therefore considered a dish of simple cooking although we are sure will delight your palate!).
