With its bright, white living room full of pale wicker furniture, palms and graceful sheer curtains, this Italian seaside home wouldn’t be out of place in Miami or Charleston. Located just two a two-minute walk from Forte dei Marmi’s stretch of sandy beaches, this sunny apartment feels like summer personified. The home has a main balcony off the kitchen and another through the second bedroom, so you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to morning coffee spots. After a day of sun and sand, come back home for a soak in the tropical, tiled shower before gathering for cocktails in the living room. The garden’s outdoor table is perfect for alfresco, lantern-lit dinners under the stars, while the two chairs on the lawn offer an inviting spot to relax post-meal. With plenty of restaurants, bars and boutiques along Forte dei Marmi’s promenades, and with Lucca under thirty minutes away by car, this is the perfect base from which to explore this picturesque part of Tuscany.

Fenced Property

Surrounded by a peaceful garden and vibrant wisteria, this sparkling home in Forte dei Marmi is the essence of modern style. Every room is bright, breezy and utterly serene – one step inside and you'll feel immediately relaxed, especially with the sunlight streaming through the glass doors and amply-sized windows. The white-washed walls, natural stone floors and minimal decorations exude sleek, contemporary design, and the soaring ceilings and indoor mezzanine overlooking the lounge only add to that elegant ambience. 

Seamlessly embrace indoor/outdoor living, with patio doors leading out onto the terrace from nearly every room. Keen cooks can let their culinary skills run wild in the glossy kitchen, while meals are best shared alfresco on the veranda alongside an Aperol spritz as the sun goes down. Whether you're lounging with a well-thumbed book on the deck chairs or sipping cocktails under the pergola, you'll feel right at home here.

When you're up for an adventure, stroll twenty minutes to Bagno San Francesco beach for some sand and sun. Or, make the most of the excellent location and visit Tuscany's famous villages – Lucca, Pisa and Viareggio are less than an hour's drive and perfectly suited for day trips.

There's nothing like a private pool to get you into that holiday spirit and at this home in Marina di Pietrasanta, you'll also have the sandy beach just a short walk away. A charming seaside resort with plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy, you'll have local parks to explore, numerous beaches to play on and surrounding villages to seek out – as well as the big attractions of Lucca (around forty minutes by car) and Pisa (around fifty).

Surrounded by a pretty garden, with high hedging for privacy and comfy outdoor seating spots, this home is a stylish choice for a family or small group of friends. Set in a quiet residential area, it's a dreamy escape from reality, with relaxing shades of white and grey, along with farmhouse styling. We love the romantic bedrooms and the delightful covered terrace – perfect for barbecues after a day on the beach.

Self Check-in / Check-out

If you’re on the hunt for a quintessentially Italian villa to spend a serene stay in, then look no further than this superb holiday home. This villa is nestled on the hills above the picturesque town of Pietrasanta, between the beautiful sandy beaches of Spiaggia Libera, and the adventure-filled mountains of the Apuan Alps. 

Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming home-from-home – characterful interiors such as stucco walls and exposed beam ceilings are expertly blended with all the necessary mod cons for easy everyday living. The grand dining room invites you to spend the evening sipping Prosecco and playing board games with loved ones, while the lounge has a fireplace to make nights in extra cosy. 

The garden is a haven fit for long summer days, with funky sun loungers where you can relax and chat, and a private outdoor pool where you can make fun holiday memories. After long days having fun in the sun, you can sip on sundowners on your alfresco dining set while you watch the sky turn pink.

Nestled in the beautiful town of Lido di Camaiore, this contemporary apartment is an ideal base for friends or family seeking a seaside stay. We love how light and bright this home is, and the balcony is a delightful sunny spot for an alfresco breakfast or evening aperitifs as the sun sets. Location-wise, you’re in for a treat. A mere four-minute stroll from the beach, you can splash in the sea, walk along the promenade, or indulge in delicious local cuisine in no time. 

The Seaside Sanctuary

This attractive home is located in the small medieval town of Pietrasanta, in the heart of Tuscany. You’ll be within easy reach of Lucca, Siena and Florence, all excellent choices for day trips. The beaches of Versilia and Forte dei Marmi are only 4 kilometres away. The house is contemporary in style, with a cosy vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxing break. There’s a pool in the large garden, which also boasts terraces for alfresco dining – is there anything better than firing up the barbecue on a sunny day? 

Pretty Pietrasanta

Only a 100-metre stroll from Marina di Pietrasanta's beach, this villa is made for coastal-loving families. With the sea in walking distance and cities like Pisa and Lucca not far by car, we reckon most of your time will be spent exploring. But, if you're keen to enjoy a more relaxed pace, there's plenty to appreciate back home, too. The private terrace and small garden are perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine in the fresh air. Indoors, there's a cosy living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and three comfortable bedrooms – although air conditioning is only available in the hallway. We think it makes a great option for a Tuscan seaside retreat.

Dawn of Summer

This stunning holiday home is perfectly positioned in Lido di Camaiore, just moments from the beach. It’s an attractive, modern home-from-home, beautifully decorated in peaceful neutral tones. We love how bright and welcoming this contemporary home is, despite the elegance. Outside, the garden is framed by hedges and palm trees, making it a pretty oasis. Best of all, there’s a Jacuzzi to relax in. There’s also an alfresco dining space – what could be better than dining under the stars before a dip in the Jacuzzi?

Rustic Italian fare, picnics on rolling hills, sun-soaked scenery – it could only be the Tuscan countryside. While the lifestyle of this region might conjure up the idea of hearty meals in Nonna’s kitchen, this home offers quite the opposite. Forty minutes away by car from the medieval walled city of Lucca, this villa is another fine example from the medieval era – a former castle. If you’re looking for the royal treatment, you might have found it.

Set among a spectacular array of fruit trees and bushes in its gardens, the scents of lavender, lemon, orange, and rose are thick in the air. With multiple levelled terraces, you can survey your lush kingdom from the top of the castle. You might find yourself particularly drawn to the glimmering, private pool on the lower level. Give your subjects (or family) a wave from the top, before heading down into the historic interiors. 

Exposed masonry, flagstone floors, and vintage furnishings complete the look in the lounge. But the kitchen is surprisingly modern, with glossy chrome fixtures and marble floors keeping that luxe edge. We love the tub in the main bedroom en-suite – the only place fit for VIPs to sip champagne after a long day exploring these Tuscan lands.

Spend the day on beautiful Viareggio Beach, just a one-minute stroll from this stylish apartment. Or, head to the Villa Paolina Civic Museums, which include museums of musical instruments and archaeology (just over twenty-five minutes on foot). Then at sunset, go for a passeggiata along the promenade – bliss. You’ll find plenty of trendy cafes, bars, restaurants and beach clubs nearby too. If you fancy exploring further – Lucca and Pisa are around a thirty-minute drive away. Back at this home, relax on the balcony overlooking the communal gardens with a Prosecco. Inside, colourful velvets add a luxurious touch, while large French doors flood the dining room with light – enjoy some spaghetti alle vongole at the table here or unwind on the chaise sofa. We love the nod to this home’s coastal setting too, with its seashell prints and coral ornaments dotted around. Later get some rest in the plush bedroom before starting another idyllic day on this gorgeous slice of Tuscan coastline.

Perfect Passeggiata

Fire Extinguisher

With beautiful views of the countryside from this home, this place is perfect for families or friends. There’s an above-ground swimming pool here set in a large garden, so there’s plenty of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, the traditional interiors are typically Tuscan and provide a homely space. When you want to explore the location, historic Camaiore, with its many handicraft shops, is 1 kilometre away. Or, Viareggio is just over 10 kilometres from this place when you want a day at the beach. 

Country Rustic

Whether it's the bright blue walls, the glimmering block wall prints, or the pops of turquoise furniture, there's something very cheerful about this home. Patterns and bursts of colour have been used to create a bright, sunny stay, from the flower-tiled bathroom to the toucan door handle. Set in the seaside town of Viareggio, this home is only 700 metres away from the beach – on a walk that passes by delicious Italian restaurants and gelato shops, ideal for en-route pitstops. If you're in the mood to whip up your own feast, the modern kitchen will serve you well, while the large dining table in the living area is perfect for group get-togethers and celebrating special occasions. When the sun is shining you'll find yourselves out in the walled courtyard, with its leafy plants, grey seats and outdoor dining area – perfect for hearty alfresco lunches. 

Nemo's Hideaway

Surrounded by Tuscan countryside, this home has a private swimming pool, open all year round, set in a garden fringed by bamboo. There’s a large, shaded dining terrace to enjoy the warm Italian summers as well. Inside, this traditionally styled, three-storey house has plenty of room for family and friends with a living area and sitting room. Situated just 1 kilometre from Camaiore, there’s plenty to see and do. Or visit the medieval city of Lucca, around a thirty-minute drive away.


Emerald Forest

Piano

Art lovers will be interested to know this home once belonged to the family of a renowned Italian sculptor. And while it’s still possible to admire some of his sculptural works, you can also enjoy a range of contemporary comforts. From the private pool and peaceful garden to the large veranda and charming rooms, every detail has been considered to inspire total relaxation. Your host is also on hand to help organise a range of extras – including grocery deliveries, private chefs and organised excursions. Outside, it’s less than 10 kilometres to Viareggio, while the beaches of Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta are also within easy reach. 

The Water Sculptor

Ensconced within a beautiful building dating back to the 1800s, this chic apartment seamlessly blends traditional with contemporary. It’s an ideal base for those seeking a stay near the sea, which you’ll see twinkling between the neighbouring buildings from the terrace. Speaking of which, the terrace is what caught our eye most about this home. It’s a generous size, just the spot for alfresco meals or simply soaking up the Tuscan sun with a good book in hand. Location-wise, the beach is a mere hop, skip and jump away, so if the sun gets a little much, you can cool off in the sea in no time. 

Golden Buzz

Moments from the beaches of Viareggio, this home opens its doors to a laidback coastal escape. You can stroll to local bars, pizzerias, bakeries and shops. Plus, it’s just a ten-minute walk to the train station – making it easy to connect with beautiful cities like Lucca, Pisa and Florence. Wherever the day takes you, this home has been thoughtfully designed to bring ease and comfort to your stay. There’s a terrace for evening drinks and the rooms are well suited to families with space to stretch out and unwind.  


Acquamarina

Single-Level Home

This apartment is just 300 metres from the beach in Viareggio. So you only need to walk five minutes to bag a lounger on the sand and spend the day paddling in the Ligurian Sea. It’s easy to pop back to the apartment for forgotten towels. Within the charming Liberty-style streets around you, there are myriad pizzerias and seafood restaurants for dining and cafes for espresso in the morning.

The apartment itself is an ideal city bolthole. Intricately carved teak furniture gives the open living room a Balinese calm feel and floor-to-ceiling corner windows keep things feeling light. The kitchen is sleek and modern, tucked away at the back and you can choose between the breakfast bar or dining table to uncork a bottle of local Sangiovese for social evenings in. We love the bedroom with the powder-blue feature wall and art nouveau paintings. 

Ligurian Blue

Holding a special place in the heart of Viareggio, this Liberty-style, quaint apartment is the ideal spot for anyone looking to explore the city’s highlights. A seven-minute walk will take you to Bagno Maurizio Beach or the Viareggio Boardwalk – fashion lovers and foodies will be pleased to tour the boutiques, designer stores and fine dining restaurants on days when they’re not sunbathing at the beach. 

Days at home provide a tranquil escape from the vibrant outdoors. Furnished with vintage pieces, there’s a feeling of old-fashioned Italiana to this place. Enjoy a long, rejuvenating soak in the hydro massage bath before tucking into lunch. A book from the shelf will keep you company when you’re up for some alone time and a glass of Negroni is a perfect match for relaxing evenings on the balcony.

Mango Panna Cotta

Surrounded by tall pine trees and grassy lawns, this villa is perfectly secluded and a wonderful choice for a truly chilled out trip. You'll find a spot to relax with every few steps you take, from the traditional veranda to the terracotta tiled patio. There’s no reason why you can’t have all your meals outdoors at the alfresco dining area, where you can feast on local cheeses and wines. Inside, there's an eclectic collection of artworks to admire, and comfy beds for afternoon naps or a fantastic night's sleep. If you fancy feeling the sand between your toes, head to nearby Bagno Brunella e Ada Beach where you can wander along the shoreline. You're also perfectly located to take day trips around Tuscany – head to Pisa, Lucca and the rugged villages of Cinque Terre for Italian adventures. 

Sole e Mare

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Set among the hills of Montebello, this country house allows you to immerse yourself in Tuscan living. The winding, steep road to reach this home rewards you with views of lush olive trees and the sea in the distance. Relax in the private pool or one of the hot tubs or dine alfresco on the veranda. The home is split between the main house and two separate bedroom annexes with their own entrances. So, this place is perfect for friends or family that like some private space. When you want to explore the area, the town of Camaiore is under 2 kilometres away, while Viareggio Beach is around 10 kilometres from this home.

Tuscan Vista

If you’re looking for a home with character then you can stop strolling now. This Tuscan apartment will transport you back to the 1970s with its retro decor and quirky features. Located in the seaside city of Viareggio, you’ll have your own private balcony here – perfect for a morning espresso before heading to the beach (just a five-minute stroll away). You’ll find all the amenities you’ll need on the doorstep and if sightseeing is on the cards, the beautiful city of Lucca, known for its walled old town, is just a drive away.

Summer Fun

Carbon Monoxide Detector

Smoke Detector

Just by a promenade along the Tuscan Riviera, this home is for anyone looking to stop along the scenic coast. With two plush bedrooms, a modern kitchen and a comfortable lounge, you'll have everything you need. A soothing medley of blue and white inside is a reminder of the sea just beyond the walls, and trailing pot plants add a bit of old-world romance. Enjoy a coffee on the tiled balcony overlooking the rooftops before heading to the beach where rows of coloured umbrellas, the smell of espresso, and promenades lined with lush flower beds await just across the road. The home of the Tuscan Carnival, Viareggio has all the energy to fulfill your long, hot Italian summer.

Beside The Seaside

This rustic yet refined farmhouse surrounded by Tuscan countryside makes for a restful stay indeed. The interiors are as charming as you would expect – think carved fireplaces, wooden-beamed ceilings and traditional terracotta floors. Outside, the furnished terrace is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine with a glass of wine in hand. Although there isn’t a swimming pool here, there are 50 hectares of grounds to explore and the sandy beaches of Lido di Camaiore are no more than a twenty-minute drive away.

Welcome Hamper

Once a former woodshed, this striking loft apartment is an eco-haven of rest, offering a comfortable and central base from which to explore Pietrasanta and its many surrounding sights.

Lovingly curated with custom-made furnishings, solar panels and luxe touches like a fireplace, electric Velux blinds and underfloor heating, this space seamlessly brings nature and modern comfort together in wondrous harmony. 
 
We love how much natural light fills the home, especially in the sleek kitchen-dining room where a wall of glass reveals a private courtyard garden to enjoy. Sip your morning coffee here while catching some morning rays or treat yourself to a soak under the outdoor shower when you’re not using the pair of rainfall showers inside. 
 
Hop on the bikes provided to go out and explore Pietrasanta’s many sights, like the Duomo, the Museo dei Bozzetti and the Rocca di Sala – all two minutes away by bike or under a ten-minute walk away. And if you feel like venturing further afield, you’ll find sandy Bagno Piero a ten-minute drive away and Lucca thirty minutes away by car. 


La Bella Legnaia

It’s easy to see why Lido di Camaiore is such a popular location for seaside getaways. The soft sand and calm sea of the beaches along the Versilia coast are within easy reach, and there’s a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes to choose from. 

This delightful villa is just 500 metres from the beach, so your days can be whiled away swimming in the sea, building sandcastles, and soaking up the Italian sun – when you’re not at the villa, of course. A traditional Italian home, the villa features elaborate tiled floors and dark wood accents. If you want to live as the locals do, this is an excellent choice. 

As well as being traditional, full of charm, and in a wonderful location, this villa has a hidden gem – you’ll have your very own private garden. When you’re not at the beach, you can enjoy the weather in the privacy of your own outdoor space, which is full of trees and greenery. Curl up in the shade to read, or sip cocktails in the gazebo before dinner. Shop locally for the freshest seafood, and prepare it on the barbecue – is there anything finer than dining beneath the stars? 


Sea Air & Leaves

Perched on a hill in the old village of Pedona, this home is set between the mountains and the sea. Rustic and enchanting, you won't find any swimming pools or hot tubs here, instead ancient oak beams and flagstone floors cradle a home that looks untouched since the turn of the last century. Though it has of course been updated for modern comfort, the atmosphere remains about as authentic as you can get. Whether you’re gathering for family dinner around the vintage table, snoozing in the small garden, or gazing out at the sea views in the distance, this home is a real departure from modern life and a much-needed revert to la dolce vita. From here, it's just a twelve-minute drive to the beautiful city of Camaiore, or head in the opposite direction to get to the beach at Viareggio in around the same time.

Sweet Chestnut

This elegant early-20th-century villa sits on a hill in Corsanico. It boasts breathtaking views of the Versilia coastline and Puccini’s beloved Lake Massaciuccoli, with beautiful gardens to enjoy them from. A private pool perches on the hilltop, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and orchards. There’s a barbecue to cook on and an alfresco dining space in the shade of a portico. The villa is traditionally Tuscan in style, with terracotta tiles and shuttered windows. You’ll be close to the scenic village of Corsanico and the beaches of Viareggio – what more could you ask for? 

The Maestro Puccini

Located in the hills above Forte dei Marmi, this home has a wonderful view of the sea. On a clear day, you can see as far as La Spezia and Livorno, as well as the islands of Tinetto, La Gorgona and Elba. You can enjoy the vistas from the jacuzzi and fenced garden or the bedroom’s balcony. The open-plan living space has a kitchenette and a wood burner (this room also sleeps guests three and four). If you want to leave this cosy place and explore, the sandy beaches, chic boutiques and restaurants of Forte dei Marmi are a short drive away.

Sea & Island Vistas

Outdoor Kitchen

Set amid Camaiore’s rolling hills, this delightful villa offers a luxurious escape to the country. The surrounding olive groves make for a beautifully verdant backdrop, setting the scene for peaceful alfresco feasts prepared in the outdoor kitchen. There’s a heated swimming pool with a whirlpool feature in the garden, and a sauna inside. Hiking trails can be found just 100 metres from the villa, making this an excellent choice for those looking for an active holiday – you’ll also have a separate fitness room. The villa is elegant and attractive, with modern decor and plenty of space. The sandy beaches of Versilia are only a fifteen-minute drive away. 

The Olives

This historic villa and its sprawling grounds look out over the rolling Tuscan hills. In fact, the villa was once owned by a noble family from Lucca, and its opulent history is still evident in the home's period features. Admire the original beamed ceilings on the ground floor, and unwind in the elegant living room in front of the fireplace. Upstairs, antique furnishings adorn the bedrooms, and windows look out over the beautiful gardens. We think the lovely outdoor space is where you'll spend most of your time, either relaxing with a drink under the shade of the olive trees or swimming in the pool. As evening approaches, light the candles and enjoy a barbecue with a glass of local wine. The tree-lined roads surrounding the property are the perfect place for a morning run, and it's only a ten-minute stroll to the local village, where you can enjoy a meal in the medieval square. There's so much more to explore a short drive away, too – venture to the coast and relax on the beach at Viareggio (a twenty-two-minute ride), or wander the Renaissance-era city walls of Lucca, a thirty-minute drive away. 

Noble Hills

Sweeping views of the Tuscan countryside from the terrace and nothing by nature surrounding you, this apartment is a romantic bolthole that embraces la dolce vita. Get to know Tuscan cuisine with a trip to the onsite deli, or an organised wine tasting in the little cellar. Or, simply enjoy a bottle of red with that awe-inspiring view from the pergola-covered private terrace. There’s an outdoor dining area and gardens galore shared with the other ancient stone buildings of this complex.

Your apartment is decked out with romantic rusticana in mind. Think exposed stone walls at every turn, wood-beamed ceilings and crisp white linen. The gnarled wooden worktops in the kitchen feel as though nonas have been hand-making pasta here for decades and the flagstone floor is cool underfoot. The bedroom sits beneath a centuries-old wooden ceiling, for fairytale dreams as you drift off. 

Wild Primrose Seeds

Practically the subject of an entire film genre, restoring a farmhouse in Tuscany’s countryside is the stuff of fantasies – only here, someone else has done the job for you and you get to kick back and enjoy the fruits of their labour. Set among rolling hills, a thirty-five-minute drive to the historic city of Lucca and twenty minutes to the alluring Viareggio coastline, this exceptional villa gazes out over the distant mountains. French doors flanked by green shutters and wide archways let the sunlight flood into every room, gently warming the pale terracotta-hued tiles. Farm life is not forgotten in this restoration – a country-style kitchen complete with rooster motif and copper pots invites you to spend an evening tending to traditional Tuscan cuisine, while beamed ceilings and a healthy dose of wood and wicker furniture ensure the natural world never feels far away. Our favourite spot is the rustic-chic terrace, with its impressive dining and chill-out areas setting the tone for the postcard-perfect garden. Out on the lawns, under ancient trees, lively mealtimes take on a movie-like quality, while the glittering turquoise pool is pure Hollywood glamour.

Lady Limoncello

Whether you're enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace or floating in the shared swimming pool, the mountain views here are sure to set the scene for an unforgettable stay in the Province of Lucca. Early risers can savour an espresso in the morning sunshine on the terrace and in the evenings, you can fire up the barbecue and dig into an alfresco feast as the day slowly fades. We think it's the definition of relaxing, and the interior is just as cosy, with exposed wooden beams, squishy sofas and a rustic kitchen well-stocked with cookware if you're not up for grilling. 

The location is also excellent, with some of Italy's best seaside towns within easy reach – be it Viareggio and Lido di Camaiore (both twenty minutes by car) or Forte dei Marmi (half-an-hour drive). Or spend the afternoon wandering through Lucca's medieval city centre, admiring the ancient churches and browsing the many independent art galleries – it's a forty-minute drive away.
