Sea or countryside: where is your perfect holiday home?

Take our quiz and find out if it is better for you to have a house on the coast or surrounded by nature



Finally, you are ready to buy your dream holiday home, but… where?


First, you should think about your family's needs and priorities.


For example, do you dream of hearing the waves from the terrace every morning, or do you prefer to cultivate your own land?


Luckily, in Tuscany Maremma nature reigns in all its forms: from postcard countryside landscapes to splendid Blue Flag coasts.


Enjoy our short quiz below and find out if you are a beach house type or if the countryside is the ideal place for you!

1. What would you like to see from the window of your new home?

A. The blue colors of the sea and the sky merged together.

B. The Tuscan countryside and its warm colors.


2. An excellent position for you means ...

A. Living close to a central area, where the main services are handy and, maybe, the beach is a few steps away.

B. Far from the town - a few kilometers away - and from the confusion, to enjoy nature and absolute relaxation.


3. How do you imagine your new holiday home?

A. I would like it to be functional and “fresh”, enriched by a wide, panoramic terrace to enjoy the sunset or with a nice garden.

B. I would like it to be a beautiful Tuscan-style stone country-house, with wooden beams and vaults.

4. How would you like to spend your holidays?

A. Enjoying both beach and water sports, discovering hidden bays and going to excellent fish restaurants.

B. Cultivating my own land and walking in the nature.


5. Your perfect evening includes ...

A. Happy hour by the sea, dinner in a nice restaurant, a walk along the seafront and shopping with family and friends.

B. Enjoy the view of the sun setting in the hills while drinking a good glass of wine, perhaps of my vineyard, dine in my patio and enjoy quiet evenings with family and friends.


If you have mostly chosen answers A, then get your swimsuit because the sea is your element. On the other hand, if you answered mostly B, wear comfortable shoes and go to the countryside!
