Grosseto. Pisa Airport is also easily accessible at a distance of 60 kilometers.

Numerous excursion destinations near the fishing village are already waiting for you!
The splendor of Tuscany
Experience the beauty of Tuscany in Italy and rent a chic holiday accommodation, an affordable holiday home or a private apartment in Castiglioncello. From the end of March, it gets very warm during the day. Some holidaymakers are already splashing in the sea. From May, it becomes summery and the nights also get noticeably warmer. Especially in July and August, it can get very hot during the day. Sporting activities should then take place in the morning or evening. In September, it is usually still very warm and dry. From October onwards, typical autumn weather sets in. From mid-November, there may still be plenty of sunshine, but the wind picks up noticeably and temperatures drop. In winter, make sure to choose accommodation with good heating and comfortable bedrooms. In addition to the season, a
holiday with a dog in Castiglioncello is also an option.
Italy without pasta?
Tuscany is famous for its great wines. The most famous are Chianti, Chianti Classico, Morellino di Scansano, Nobile di Montepulciano, and Brunello di Montalcino. Typical for the region is the white bread baked with olive oil, which is served with every meal. Fresh seasonal vegetables are particularly important to the locals, which you can find at markets and specialty shops. A typical side dish is legumes. The delicate eye beans are considered a delicacy. When slaughtering, the whole animal is always processed. There are a variety of dishes with offal. If you rent a holiday home or apartment privately, you will also find that fish plays a significant role in the coastal region. Local varieties include bream, mackerel, sea bass, or mullet. Those who like something more unusual can try snails, which are particularly popular in autumn. Beware of the cliché! Pasta dishes play virtually no role in Tuscan cuisine. Some good restaurants in the seaside resort or directly on the sandy beach are waiting for your visit.
Fish festival and dream beaches
The coastal landscape around the fishing village of Castiglioncello is characterized by inviting bathing bays. Here you will find fine pebble beaches, interrupted by beautiful reddish granite cliffs. The beaches of Castiglioncello have been awarded several times for their good water quality and service for tourists. Here you can also sail, surf, dive or fish to your heart's content. In the high season, Castiglioncello also becomes a cultural center. Particularly noteworthy is the Festa del Pesce fish festival, which takes place in June and invites your family to culinary discoveries away from accommodation, holiday home or apartment with a garden during your trip. Explore surrounding cities like Florence, San Gimignano or other places in the municipality of Rosignano Marittimo.
Historical and idyllic
An impressive sight and a must during your holidays is the Medici Tower, a fortification against pirate attacks, which was built as early as the 16th century. Also worth seeing is the Villa Castello Pasquini, which looks more like a castle. In summer, the villa is often the location for festivals of various kinds. Historically interesting is also the Church of St. Andreas from 1621. A highlight is the Archaeological National Museum, which is located in the Poggetto district. Here, over 300 Etruscan and Roman tombs were uncovered, which could be dated to a time between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 1st century BC. A trip to the city of Livorno, which is visited by many cruise ships, is also worthwhile. From here, you can also head to Pisa or
Lucca. Those who rent a private apartment or a spacious holiday home in Castiglioncello in Tuscany appreciate above all the beautiful beaches and the great conditions by the sea. The Castello Pasquini and the Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo e Immacolata Concezione are also worth a visit. Book a holiday accommodation, a house or an apartment in the fishing village for holidays according to your personal wishes directly on the coast or on the sandy beach and explore surrounding excursion destinations.
