If for your next holiday you are looking for a villa overlooking the sea in Tuscany within easy reach from such important cities of art as Siena Pisa or Livorno, renting a villa on the Etruscan Coast is the right solution.

The Etruscan Coast is a region stretching for 90 kilometres along the Tyrrhenian Sea (a fifth of which consisting in parks, protected areas, faunal refuges and natural oases) over the territory of 11 municipalities (Piombino, San Vincenzo, Castagneto Carducci, Bibbona, Cecina, Rosignano Marittimo, Livorno and, in the hinterland, Collesalvetti, Sassetta, Suvereto and Campiglia Marittima), whose name is reminiscent of numerous and important archaeological findings.

This is the Etruscan Coast.

Renting a holiday villa in this part of Tuscany is the ideal solution if you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere and a place far from noisy mass tourism but close to some of the most important Italian monuments.

Moreover, if you like history and archaeology, you can visit the 80 hectares of Baratti-Populonia archaeological park.

And that is not all:

• At Easter in San Vincenzo takes place the Palio della Costa Etrusca, a traditional horse race whose protagonists are the horses and jockeys of the famous Palio di Siena;

• In July and August, Livorno comes alive for the Effetto Venezia festival, a street carnival of music and jazz.

And these are just some of the many events taking place in this part of Tuscany.

In short, for your next holidays in the land of the Medicis it is well worth renting a villa at the sea along the Etruscan Coast.
