Location
About the surrounding area of Villa A PiccoThe dazzling Villa a Picco is ideally located on Italy's Tuscan coastline, just 30m from the sea, making it an ideal base to explore the region's beautiful beaches, coastal towns, and even the countryside. You can walk straight down from the villa to the sea below, hopping in and out of the crystal-clear sea waters. To venture beyond the privacy of the villa, you will need a car to explore as it is difficult to come and go on foot.
Only 2km from the villa lies Castiglioncello, home to several beautiful beaches, including the Spiaggia dei Quercetani and the Spiaggia della Baia del Porticciolo. These beaches offer crystal-clear waters and fine sand, perfect for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and relaxation.
For a more active experience, head to the nearby Cala del Leone, a secluded cove that can only be reached by boat or hiking through the woods. Cliffs surround the cove and offer stunning views of the sea. You can swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the beach and soak in the beauty of this hidden gem.
If you're interested in history and art, head to the nearby town of Livorno (20km), known for its beautiful architecture and art scene. The historic centre is a maze of narrow streets and colourful buildings, with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops to explore. Don't miss the beautiful Piazza della Repubblica, the Fortezza Nuova, and the Sanctuary of Montenero.
Every trip to Tuscany is complete with a visit to the Bolgheri wine region, renowned for producing world-class wines. Include some top vineyards, such as Tenuta Ornellaia and Cantina Petra Wine, on your itinerary. Take a guided tour to learn about the winemaking process, stroll through the picturesque vineyards and finish with a tasting. Remember to bring home a few bottles to enjoy with dinner.
While you're in Bolgheri, visit the charming hilltop village just 34km away. Spend a leisurely morning exploring the medieval streets, admiring the centuries-old churches, and browsing the artisan shops. You'll also want to stop by the imposing fortress and walk along the old walls for stunning countryside views.
Also within easy reach is the charming seaside town of Cecina (13km), offering a wealth of shops, cafés, and restaurants. Stroll along the riverside paths, visit the bustling marina, or browse the vibrant piazzas filled with markets. History buffs will appreciate the Archaeological Park, showcasing fascinating Roman and Etruscan ruins.
But the true gem of Cecina is undoubtedly its stunning beaches. Whether you're an avid water sports enthusiast or simply seeking a serene cove for swimming, there's a beach to suit your taste. One such beach is the breathtaking Marina di Bibbona, situated a little further down the coast and awarded the coveted Blue Flag status for its pristine waters. The beach is flanked by a vast pine forest, offering a welcome respite from the midday sun.
