Tuscany is an excellent destination for those who enjoy holidays full of excitement and activities with endless villas, churches, museums, galleries, vineyards, hiking routes, beaches, parks, gardens, restaurants, cooking schools, boutique shops, pretty town squares, ancient ruins, and much, much more besides to explore and enjoy. However, it is, equally, a perfect place to get away from it all, relax, and unwind. There is, of course, a different pace of life in Tuscany than what many find to be their norm, particularly in sleepy little towns with historic centres that seem almost untouched by the passage of time. Businesses still close for hours in the middle of the day while the owners take a break, few bother opening on Sundays at all unless you are in bigger towns, and meals regularly stretch over hours and are savoured. The picturesque scenery of the countryside and peace and space afforded by our villas in Tuscany, many of which are located in remote and quiet parts of the region, allow those travelling in the region to unplug and leave the stresses and concerns of daily life behind. Wholesome and hearty, the cuisine also further adds to one’s relaxation while on holiday in Tuscany as it is comforting and incredibly satisfying. 

The pretty hilltop town of Sassetta is a cluster of charming brick and colourful buildings surrounded by the lush greenery of chestnut forests in the province of Livorno. With winding little streets and amazing views over the stunning scenery of Tuscany, it is a picturesque little spot but actually also has plenty to offer visitors. So, browse our villas in Sassetta today and come discover all that there is to see and do in this charming little town...

While there is a lovely church full of artworks in the town and an impressive 16th century castle to discover, you won’t find quite the list of museums and typical tourist attractions that some Tuscan towns can offer. Instead, the town boasts naturally-occurring thermal waters that have therapeutic and relaxing properties, ideal for unwinding during your vacation in Tuscany. And those chestnut trees and fertile lands all around mean that this is an area that is especially beautiful and full of delicious things to taste during the harvest season.
