Rosignano Marittimo is a medieval hilltop village in the Livorno hills on the Etruscan Coast, overlooking the Tyrrhenian coast. It suits families and couples wanting a hill base near the sea. The catch is that the beach resorts are separate places, so the sea means a drive.
The village sits at about 147 m on a hill above the sea, with a castle core that probably dates to the 10th century, a civic archaeological museum in Palazzo Bombardieri and a church holding a 14th-century wooden crucifix. Poggetti Park has views stretching from Castiglioncello to the Gulf of Baratti. The wider commune also takes in Castiglioncello, with its red cliffs and sheltered bays, and Rosignano Solvay, known for white beaches. It mixes history, tourism and industry. Homes are scattered around, most with a garden and air conditioning.
