Villas for sale in Versilia

Versilia is the area of Northern Tuscany which stretches along the coast from the towns of Viareggio to Forte dei Marmi, and is one of Italy’s most popular and exclusive beach areas, famous for its sandy beaches overlooked by the imposing Apuan Alps. Loosely speaking, it includes Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, Seravezza, Stazzema, Camaiore, Massarosa and Viareggio.

For decades Italians have flocked to the area during the summer months to enjoy its mild climate, calm sea and well-furnished beach establishments which cater to families and visitors wanting to enjoy water sports or activities such as horse riding, tennis and golf. There are kilometres of flat cycling lanes, making it easy to get around and Pisa airport is located approximately half an hour away.

The Versiliana Park, with its acres of pine forest and open spaces and an outdoor theatre, also hosts markets and a host of cultural events throughout the summer. Nature lovers can also go slightly further afield and head for the mountains to enjoy day treks or mountain bike excursions.
