Beach Hotels Tuscany
Once you’ve finished admiring the ruins of Rome and art galleries of Florence, retreat to the Tuscan coast for a spot of rest and relaxation.

Beach Hotels in Tuscany: The Region’s Most Beautiful Beach Vacation Spots
Portside Living in Livorno
When thinking of Tuscany, you might envision rolling farmland, rustic country villas and noble cypress trees, and you wouldn’t be wrong. However, Tuscany’s often-overlooked coast is a respite from the tourist hubs of Florence and Siena, and its beach hotels will not disappoint. If you’re looking for vast sandy beaches with access to a gorgeous Italian city packed with trendy bars, seafood restaurants and nightlife then head to Livorno, Tuscany’s biggest coastal city. Many pass through Livorno’s port only to hurry on to Pisa to check out the Leaning Tower, but this city is worth taking some time to discover. Take a stroll along the checkerboard-patterned Terrazza Mascagni and watch the rollers crash along the shore. Explore the grottos dug into the hills behind the sprawling Sanctuary of Montenero. If it’s beach hotels you’re after, Livorno will not disappoint. Base yourself in the bustling city center to enjoy delicious restaurants and enthusiastic nightlife after day trips along the Tuscan Coast, stopping at Blue Flag beauty spots like Antignano and Calambrone.

All of the beach hotels in Tuscany are situated directly on the beach. The Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte and Hotel Terme Marine Leopoldo II, for example, come equipped with private beaches, only for the use of hotel guests, while the rest are situated on or directly adjacent to public beaches.
There’s plenty of child-friendly beaches along the coast of Tuscany, but make sure to do your research to ensure you’re not staying in one of the party-heavy resorts. The Tombolo Talasso Resort is a 5-star hotel that caters to families with children.
Most beaches charge a fee which ensures cleaner water and sand, and usually allows access to a sun chair and/or umbrella. The free, public beaches will often be busier and lacking the same quality. Some private hotel beaches also charge.
The beach region Viareggio is the closest and most easily accessed from Florence; you can take the regional train.
If the off season, you can find a beach hotel from between 80 EUR and 200 EUR, the latter naturally being more deluxe resorts with high-quality facilities and private beaches. In the high season, benefit from more options but expect to pay at least double; in July for example, prices run between 200 EUR and 900 EUR for the super lux spots.
Hotel Torre Di Cala Piccola in Porto Santo Stefano, Grand Hotel Palazzo Livorno-MGallery by Sofitel in Livorno, Il Pellicano in Porto Ercole, and Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte in Viareggio are particularly romantic.
