Perhaps you don’t think of beaches when you think of Tuscany. Well, you should. The Versilia coast below the marble towns of Massa and Carrara is lined with them. Forte di Marmi, literally “marble fort,” is one of the top topless hangouts in Italy, according to Forbes magazine. It’s also known for the stylish clothing market that hits its streets weekly.
Yes, you can have it all in Tuscany, clothed and un.
Of course, the trouble with beach vacations is that you plan a few days and then the rain comes, or a cold front moves in and you’re stuck in your hotel without a thing to be topless over.
Hey, why not spend a week overlooking the weather and the beaches from a high vantage point in your own little Tuscan hide-away? Live rustically, I say, and enjoy dinner on your own private terrace where you can make google-eyes at your sweet honey without some smarmy waiter looking askance.
It has a bedroom with a skylight, so you can enjoy those classic Tuscan thunderstorms like they showed in Under the Tuscan Sun without getting up.
And if it rains, just take the car and head over to Portovenere. Or go shopping in Lerici or Forte di Marmi. Or go to the Marble museum high above Carrara.
So many things to do, so little vacation time…
