Villas at the Sea

Location

The small villa is located in Val di Cecina, in proximity to Bibbona and Marina di Bibbona, in the province of Livorno.

Bibbona boasts ancient origins: some documents demonstrate that a castle of Biboni already existed in 1040. In the 12th century the castle was surrounded by a set of defensive walls whose ruins are still to be seen today. In the following centuries new walls were built around the hill on which the historic centre of the town stands. Bibbona was for a long time the object of a dispute between Florence and Pisa, until the Florentine Republic annexed it in 1406.

Following the reclamation of the area ordered by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Peter Leopold, in the second half of the 18th century a fortress was built along the coast, around which Marina di Bibbona developed in the following decades. Nowadays Marina di Bibbona is one of the most appreciated seaside resorts along the Etruscan Coast.

The area is rich in places of historical and artistic interest, and at the border of the municipality of Bibbona stretches the maquis of Magona, a wide forest that has been transformed into a nature reserve.

All the year round Bibbona and its neighbourhood host various events, including the so-called "Palio delle Botti", the Representation of the Passion of Jesus Christ, and "Convivia", a wine-tasting event devoted to the wines produced in the area.
