Neighborhood The fully fenced property of twenty acres, mainly formed by sand dunes, the Maremma maquis and, further inland, by a forest of oaks and pines, borders the protected area of Bolgheri, in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci. Home to wild animals of all kinds, from deer to turtles, which is not uncommon to encounter, the grounds are now protected as well. The access of the beach is free but it is relatively popular because of the distance of public access. On the beach, about a hundred meters from the property’s gate, you can find a very pleasant small bar-restaurant, perfect for a quick lunch or for cocktails at sunset. The shops (butcher, grocer, baker, etc...) can be reached in five minutes by bike, or in a fifteen minutes walk. Bibbona’s night life does not offer special events or particularly exciting nightclubs, but the neighborhood and the area in general are quite famous for good restaurants, of which eventually you will be given all the contacts. In Cecina or Donoratico, about ten kilometers away, you will find shops and supermarkets of all kinds. OVERVIEW: Tombo lies within the property’s extensive grounds, among graceful pine trees, the sweet-scented shrubs, typical of the Mediterranean maquis estate and the Tyrrhenian Sea’s soft sand and frothy waves, right in the protected park of Bibbona. Unspoiled beaches fringed with dunes, backed by hillsides covered in vineyards and olive groves, crested by charming hill-top villages are the main trait of this part of the tuscan coast. The reclaimed flatlands where cattle used to roam herded by the local cowboys have today largely been given over to well-husbanded vineyards yielding some of the most prestigious vintages in Italy such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Guado al Tasso. This beautiful stretch of land which runs along the famous Maremma coastline lies one hour south of Pisa very close to the famous village of Bolgheri and the enchanting medieval village of Castagneto Carducci, built around the Gherardesca castle. An hour and a half drive away from Florence and Lucca, and a couple of hours from Siena, Marina di Bibbona is quite at the right spot for who likes to visit the tuscan famous art towns and villages getting back in time for a last swim in the sea.
