Bibbona suits walkers and cyclists who want hills and a sandy beach on the Etruscan Coast. Homes are scattered around the old village, so expect to drive: the sea is at Marina di Bibbona, and the village itself stands about 80 metres up, back from the coast.
Bibbona is a medieval village of just over three thousand people in the province of Livorno, about 80 metres above sea level. Our homes are not gathered in it. They are spread over roughly ten kilometres of countryside and coast around the village, so the map pin matters more than the town name. The old centre has narrow streets, small stone-paved squares and a Romanesque parish church. The coast belongs to Marina di Bibbona, with a long sandy beach, dunes, scrub and a pine forest behind. Nearby, the Macchia della Magona reserve covers more than 1,600 hectares of pine, holm oak and scrub. Most homes have a private pool and nearly all have a garden. Evenings are village-sized, so plan on cooking in or driving to a restaurant.
The municipality's beach: long sand with golden dunes, scrub and pine forest behind, free stretches, and a small dog-friendly area.
Reserve of more than 1,600 hectares with 16 marked itineraries, about 50 km in all, for walkers, cyclists and riders.
Village in the province of Livorno named after the poet Giosuè Carducci, who lived there for part of his life.
Hill village with old wash houses at Fonte dei Poggetti and a centuries-old windmill.
Rocky-coved resort and ancient Etruscan village on the same coast, nicknamed the pearl of the Tyrrhenian.
Pisa is the practical airport, around 50 minutes by road to Marina di Bibbona. Trains run from Pisa Centrale to Bolgheri, but with homes spread over countryside and coast, a hire car is what makes the stay work.
The coast is mild almost all year and quieter once summer ends, which suits walking and cycling in the Macchia della Magona, a reserve open all year. The village's folklore events, including a historic procession and the Palio delle Botti, are pitched for March and April. Check opening times before an off-season visit.
Choose Marina di Bibbona for a beach on the doorstep and Bibbona for hills and quiet. Bibbona is the old hill village; the sea, dunes and pine forest are at Marina di Bibbona. Our Bibbona homes are spread between the two, so check each map pin.
Yes, at Marina di Bibbona. The beach is long and sandy with golden dunes, Mediterranean scrub and a pine forest behind it. There are free stretches alongside bathing facilities, plus a small area where dogs are allowed.
Yes. The Macchia della Magona reserve has 16 itineraries covering about 50 km, usable on foot, by bike or on horseback, and the area suits both road and mountain bikes. A signed 5.1 km route links Cecina and Bibbona.
Most do, and nearly all have a garden. Because homes range from the coast to the hills, pool and garden vary, so filter on the listing rather than assuming. Sleeping capacity runs from couples up to large groups.
Yes, if you come for walking, cycling and food rather than beach time. Temperatures on the coast are mild almost all year and it is less crowded after summer, and oil mills nearby serve bruschetta with local olive oil. Check opening times before you go.
