Castellina Marittima suits quiet hill stays in the Etruscan Coast countryside of Pisa province, with the sea a short drive away. Homes are scattered across a wide area, so check each home's exact position before booking.
Castellina Marittima is a hill village of about 2,000 people at 375 metres in the province of Pisa, around 35 km south-east of Pisa. It is known for alabaster; the Alabaster Ecomuseum has its central point here. Rolling hills of olives, vines and wheat, cypress rows and holm oak woods surround it. The homes are scattered across the wider area of the Etruscan Coast, from these hills towards the coast, so the median home is near the village but many are far from it. More than half have a pool and most have air conditioning. Evenings are quiet; the festivals are a music festival and a festival of peasant cuisine.
Hill village with Etruscan origins dating to 600 BC, set among vineyards and olive groves, with the Giardino Sospeso adventure park.
