Holiday houses for rent near the sea in Tuscany: Riviera Etrusca and Marina di Bibbona

Casale Aurelia is situated halfway between the centres of Cecina and Donoratico, on the old 'Aurelia' road, and is conveniently located 3000 meters from the beach. It is a recently restorer 19th century stone farmhouse surrounded by a large garden and has an area for car parking. At Marina di Bibbona, 3kms away, you will find 15kms of beach and pine forest. The former, unlike many Italian beaches, boasts free entry, and both are easily accessible by car or bicycle.

Casale Aurelia is located along the route of an enchanting wine and gourmet itinerary, The Wine Road (La Strada del Vino).The itinerary includes Castellina, Montescudaio, Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri (Sassicaia), which are all renowned wine growing regions. The house is also close to charming centres of historic interest such as Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci, Casale Marittimo, Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Massa Marittima, Populonia and many others.  The island of Elba is close by, and numerous ferries connect Piombino to Porto Ferraio in just under an hour.

Only 25kms from Casale Aurelia there is also the thermal pool of Calidario di Caldana. The hot spring water that runs into this natural lake is at a constant temperature of 37°C which, makes bathing possible all throughout the year. The surrounding plains and rolling hills present ideal terrain for bicycling for all the family. The endless beaches, and the pine forest tucked behind the sand dunes, are perfect locations for late evening walks to enjoy the unforgettable sunsets. As are the hillside forests, with their vegetation typical of the Mediterranean area, which host deer, bore, foxes and other wild animals.

It is also possible to take advantage of one of the frequent horse riding tours that are conducted in the area. The many archaeological remains, that can be found all over the region, attest to the ancient civilisations that flourished in this part of Tuscany, from the prehistoric populations to the Italic Indo-Europeans to the Etruscans and Romans. Wherever you go you will find, carved into the hillsides, medieval villages that are framed by olive groves, pine, cypress and oak trees.
