If you like to stay close to the sea on your holidays, then Tuscany’s coastline is the perfect place to base your stay! The towns of Castagneto Carducci, Cecina and Bibbona offer superb tuscany villa rentals in the coastal province of Livorno. There are also many Blue Flag beaches here to choose from.

Why not begin the day with a trip to one or both of the Blue Flag beaches in Cecina. There are many water sport centres based here where you can hire equipment to go surfing, snorkelling or canoeing.

The exciting underwater world of Tuscany
In the busy seaside town of Livorno itself there are another two Blue Flag beaches; one is sandy and the other is pebbled. Both are close to a huge range of amenities to keep you entertained during your seaside experience!

Why not take a boat trip out to Elba Island from here where you can explore the Marciana Marina which also won Blue Flag status. There are many summer festivals hosted right on the marina during the months of July and August which are well worth going to!
