1. Delizia (from €241 - € 795 per night)
This bright, airy, and spacious modern villa is also full of picturesque charm, making it a stylish and restful place to spend time on the Tuscan Coast and is located just 1km from the beach in the famous seaside town of Forte dei Marmi. Enjoy days lounging out on the patio with a good book in the loungechairs or sitting out for meals in the shaded outdoor dining areas. Relax and sprawl out with a glass of wine in the comfortable and plush livingroom, make full use of the sleek and roomy modern kitchen to prepare meals together with the finest Tuscan ingredients sourced locally, enjoy the large and perfectly equipped bathrooms, rest well in the four simple and relaxing bedrooms that allow you to house up to eight guests comfortably, and spend time playing in the pretty and manicured little garden before heading out to explore all that the city has to offer. The so-called Miami of Tuscany, Forte dei Marmi boasts excellent beaches with great facilities, a vibrant nightlife, a rich history and culture, some brilliant places to eat, and lots to see and do and Delizia is a perfect base from which to familiarise oneself with this gem of a holiday destination! If you want all of the charms and excitement of city life and the relaxation and stunning views of the Tuscan Coast then this is the place in which you should plan your next getaway.
2. Von Salis (from €322 - €637 per night)
If you are looking for a bit of a quieter and more peaceful experience of the Tuscan Coast, a little removed from the excitement and hustle and bustle, then Von Salis is probably a bit more your speed. Located just 800m from the sea in Ansedonia, a lovely little town built on a rocky ledge overlooking the clear waters of the Argentario Coast, this villa is a little less slick and modern but has plenty of charms of its own. Particularly appealing are the views that are afforded over the beach and the surrounding area of this stretch of the coast, which are rather extraordinary. Plus, as the villa has several balconies and terraces and many rooms overlooking these views, that wonderful and restorative sea air and scenery permeates the property, creating the perfect atmosphere for forgetting all about daily life and concerns. Sleeping up to 11 in five bedrooms, with four bathrooms, Von Salis boasts spacious interiors, high ceilings, characteristic exposed stone walls, comfortable furnishings, and plenty of pretty outdoor areas to enjoy (with lots of little terraces, balconies, nooks, and crannies overflowing with blooms and decorated with outdoor furniture such as dining tables and sun loungers). A wonderful place for an extended family or group of friends, this welcoming and cosy property is ideal for happy group meals while taking in sea breezes and views, fun days at the beach, and lots of space for some proper R&R.
3. Villa Ambra (from €129 - €230 per night)
Villa Ambra is a semi-detached villa located 9km from the town of Porto Santo Stefano in a picturesque and somewhat secluded and peaceful spot on a hillside that boasts stunning views over the coast and the beaches that are just 3.5km away. The property itself has perfectly shady interiors that are ideal for staying cool during the hottest months of the summer and that are decorated in a charming and cosy traditional Tuscan style. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating up to five guests perfectly, and an open-plan kitchen and dining/living room area. Outside, however, is where the property is at its most impressive and appealing, with those incredible views over the sea sparkling in the background. There are plenty of places to enjoy the views around the grounds of the villa (located on a spacious estate with two neighbouring properties), so if you’re looking to work on your tan or enjoy a good book in a scenic spot with lush planting all around you, you’ll find yourself spoiled for choice. Plus, there is the patio immediately in front of the kitchen and living area that has an outdoor dining area and loungechairs, allowing you to wake up and enjoy breakfasts while enjoying sea breezes each morning and chat with a great glass of Tuscan wine while the sun dips behind the horizon in the evenings. It all sounds pretty dreamy to us...
4. Villa Il Cedro (from €250 - €600 per night)
This incredibly stylish villa is ideal for those who want the best of all worlds: it is located right in the centre of the town of Marciana Marina on the impossibly stunning Elba island, allowing easy access to everything the town has to offer, but it is also surrounded by a lushly planted and fenced garden, offering complete privacy. Additionally, it is an easy walk to the town’s harbour for evenings enjoying meals and drinks in the excellent restaurants and bars in the area, and three well-equipped beaches, for days full of fun and sun. So, if you’re looking for a perfect destination on the Tuscan Coast, then it would be hard to find a place any more idyllic than this. The property itself is also brilliant. Renovated in the last few years, it is a bright, spacious, and chic gem with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, allowing you to accommodate up to eight guests comfortably. The open-plan living/dining room and kitchen is decorated in neutral shades and sleek appliances for a modern aesthetic but is made more homey with the addition of soft and cosy furnishings, rich carpets, and antique-inspired artworks. Each of the bedrooms, meanwhile, feature unique details and there is also a terrace on the second floor. Outside, the style and beautiful attention-to-detail continues in the lovely 1000sqm garden, with several areas with chairs, outdoor dining areas, a hammock, a barbecue area, and an outdoor shower, all surrounded by plants and vibrant flowers, to enjoy throughout your stay. A perfect place to unwind in the wonderful outdoor spaces, to potter down to the beach and the shops during the day, to stroll to the restaurants to grab food and a drink each evening, and to truly relax, this is a truly idyllic gem of a property and destination.
5. Villa Pedona (from €131- €368 per night)
Another stylish gem and wonderful spot to escape to, Villa Pedona is located 980m from the centre of the town of Pedona and 12km from the famous seaside city of Viareggio on the Tuscan Coast. The sea is just 4km away and the panoramic position in which Villa Pedona is built allows for the most incredible sweeping views over the coastline. A two bedroom property that can sleep up to four people, with one bathroom, this adorable little villa has green shuttered windows, a porch taking in those panoramic views, ivy clinging to the walls and other picturesque and rustic details like baskets hanging on the outer walls, neat piles of firewood leaning by the back door, and a pretty little garden surrounding.
