Viareggio Apartments & Villas (Tuscany)
Viareggio is a town in the province of Lucca situated on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the north of Tuscany, Italy. It is the largest seaside town (60,000 people) on the coastal strip known as the Versilia with its long, sandy beaches.
The little town of Viareggio was founded in the year 1200 as a fishing village. Today it is considered to be the pearl of the Versilia, with its historical baths, the long sandy beaches, the famous promenade which stretches along the sea, and alternates with modern shops and mansions in liberty style, bars and boutiques.
One of the most famous Carnival celebrations in Italy is held here, featuring enormous floats that satirize current political events; certainly an event worth seeing. It is also a good location with many facilities, from which you can visit the other seaside resorts along the coast or, from which, you can venture inland to such charismatic towns as Lucca. Authentic Italy offers accommodation in self catering Tuscan apartments, cottages and villas in the region of Tuscany.
