Thanks to the mild climate, the tranquility and the beauty of the landscape, Marina di Bibbona has become a well-known seaside resort for a relaxing, fun and immersed in nature holiday.
The real jewel of Marina di Bibbona is its coast, which includes wide beaches of fine sand, the typical tomboli of Mediterranean scrub and the characteristic dunes .
The tombolos have the function of repairing the internal cultivated areas from sea winds and are made up of low vegetation that separates the beach from the hinterland.
Marina di Bibbona is located in the center of two splendid pine forests that embrace the coast.
La Pineta is the ideal place to spend days in the thick vegetation, organize fun picnics or stroll in the shade of the pine trees.
The long beaches are bathed by an uncontaminated sea, they are partly equipped (bathing establishments) and partly free.
One part of the free beaches is also reserved for four-legged friends.
The important recognition of the Blue Flag attests to the cleanliness of the waters.
Ideal place for lovers of swimming and water sports.
Numerous festivals take place in the town of Bibbona, including:
A few km from the farm you can go and visit the characteristic towns of the Pisan hills including:
Casale Marittimo, Guardistallo, Montescudaio as well as Montecatini Val di Cecina known for the Copper Mine, orphans in disuse, that can be visited.
Near the farmhouse, it is possible to take the famous Etruscan Coast Wine Route which crosses the area of Casale Marittimo.
This is a fascinating route that brings together a land characterized by Etruscan-Roman remains and medieval villages with wooded hills and scenarios in which green vegetation joins the blue sea, not to mention the wide range of typical and tasty dishes that the area offers.

Casale Marittimo is a medieval village (among the most beautiful in Italy and awarded with the orange flag by the Italian Touring Club), it was founded around the year 1000 and the signs of its evolution have left their mark on the walls of the historic center , whose stone and terracotta buildings have remained almost intact.
Among its noteworthy buildings are Palazzo Rocca, the Church of Sant'Andrea and the eighteenth-century Santa Maria delle Grazie.
Not far away, recent archaeological excavations have brought to light the ruins of an Etruscan village from the 7th century BC
The nature of the earth makes it an ideal destination for lovers of slow-paced holidays, with a perfect landscape that can be discovered on foot, on horseback or by bicycle. Casale Marittimo also boasts a rich calendar of events from spring to autumn.
Among the various gastronomic events, the traditional snail fair in July and the wild boar festival in August stand out.
Between the sea and the green hills stands the town of Guardistallo which takes its name from the low hill on which it is located.
This name was first registered in 1144 and presumably derives from the German words warda ('clock') and stable ('place').
The Guardistallo area is known for its olive oil production, to which the Spring Crogiantina Festival is dedicated.
Guardistallo is also the town of a thousand nativity scenes, which are set up in the historic center by the inhabitants and school children during the Christmas period. It is worth taking a day to visit the Convent of Valserena, managed by a community of contemplative monks.
