La Costa
This sustainably renovated property has uninterrupted sea views from its clifftop setting
La Costa is a four-bedroom property perched above a rocky promontory on the Etruscan coast, just south of Livorno. The house’s incredible seafront location, with private steps down to the rocks and to a sandy beach, ensures maximum privacy and spectacular views.
Recently renovated along sustainable bio-architecture principles, the house sleeps eight with three of the four bedrooms on the first floor and a balcony looking out to sea. The fourth bedroom, along with the living space, is on the ground floor with doors onto a terrace.
This seaside spot is very hard to beat. There are dining terraces, viewpoints and hammocks slung in the pine trees. Unusually, there isn’t a pool but with private access to the sea it won’t be missed. Just five minutes up the coast you’ll find Quercetano beach with its beautiful sand, clear water and a choice of beach clubs.
This glorious coastline, with its rocky cliffs, small bays and shady pine forests, is hard to leave but if you want to explore inland, head to Pisa with its leaning tower or to Renaissance Lucca, also known as the city of a hundred churches. Then retreat to your seaside kingdom and watch the sun slip down over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
