With Casa Oscar as the main villa, featuring spacious accommodations and private beach access, your stay will be one to remember. Let’s embark on this journey through the top seaside towns in Tuscany, and understand why they are perfect for your next getaway.
Viareggio is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated seaside towns, known for its vibrant atmosphere and sandy beaches. The beachfront promenade, lined with stylish Art Nouveau buildings, serves as the heart of this bustling town. Visitors can indulge in sunbathing, swimming, or strolling through the luxurious shops that flank the promenade. The stunning beach is equipped with numerous beach clubs, restaurants, and bars that allow for a full day of fun in the sun.
Viareggio is not just about its stunning coastline; it is also known for its annual Carnival, deemed one of the most significant carnivals in Italy. The event features grand parades of floats and elaborate costumes, attracting visitors from all over the world. No visit to Viareggio would be complete without indulging in the local culinary delights, especially seafood dishes such as “brodetto,” a traditional fisherman’s stew made from various kinds of fish and shellfish.
With only a 30-minute drive from Roc Villa, Viareggio provides an ideal day trip for visitors seeking both relaxation and lively beach culture.
Forte dei Marmi is the epitome of elegance on the Tuscan coast, attracting the elite with its pristine beaches and upscale shopping. Known for its exclusive beach clubs and fashionable boutiques, this town seamlessly combines luxury with the charm of traditional coastal life. The main square hosts a lively market every Wednesday, where you can shop for high-end fashion, artisanal products, and Tuscan delicacies.
Beyond its finesse, Forte dei Marmi offers various outdoor activities. The nearby Apuan Alps provide a striking backdrop for hiking and mountain biking, while the azure waters invite you to partake in water sports like windsurfing and sailing. After an activity-filled day, unwind and enjoy a sunset aperitivo at one of the many stylish beach bars.
To reach Forte dei Marmi from our villa, you’re looking at just over 30 minutes of picturesque driving along the coastline, making it an invaluable trip during your Tuscan escape.
Unlike the cosmopolitan vibe of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, Cetona represents a more authentic Tuscan experience. Nestled in the hills and with proximity to the coast, Cetona offers scenic views of the countryside while maintaining a quaint charm that captivates visitors. The town’s cobblestone streets are lined with rustic trattorias and art galleries that house local craftsmanship and delectable cuisine.
Cetona is renowned for its stunning surroundings, including the magical natural park that provides endless opportunities for adventure. You will find hiking trails that weave through olive groves and vineyards, leading to breathtaking viewpoints. The nearby Frairano Caverns offer a unique underground exploration for those who are intrigued by nature’s wonders.
With a journey of just over an hour from Roc Villa, visiting Cetona means immersing oneself in a world where tradition and beauty coexist harmoniously.
