We all have memories of blissful childhood holidays by the sea, right? Even if it was just the nearest coast for a couple of days, or even a few hours, it was the highlight of the summer. As such, there is still something special about seaside vacations, isn't there?
The fresh air, building sandcastles, splashing about and messing around in the water, going for a proper swim to cool down, the smell of the salty water clinging to your hair hours later, warm sand between your toes, meals quickly followed by ice-cream and eaten hungrily after playing around; there's nothing else quite like it.
Tuscany has a lovely coastline with plenty of great seaside destinations so we have chosen some of the best seaside villas on the Tuscan Coast in which to relive your childhood.

1. Cantinone 14
Capo D'Arco in Livorno a lovely resort town that is surrounded by a blissful oasis of natural beauty. This property is located just 50m from the sea and 100m from the beach, with direct access to the beach, a shared terraced garden, natural garden, 2 swimming pools, children's pool and private beach. In the complex there is a restaurant, bar, table tennis, kiosk and sun terrace. A safe and peaceful guarded residence with all the bells and whistles, this property truly makes the most of its seaside location and is a perfect destination for anyone seeking an easy and carefree sun holiday. Guests can head down to the beach or use either, or both, of the swimming pools; sea and fresh water. Oh, and did we mention the views?

2. Vista Mare
Vista Mare is a cute property that has big windows that are perfectly suited to this aptly named villa – the name translates to “Sea View” and, located up high, it offers incredible views over the sea at Castiglione della Pescaia, a charming town on the Tuscan coast. The beautiful terrace and garden also benefit from the pleasure of this fantastic panorama and guests can dine outdoors with the sea as a backdrop. The town is around 2.5km away and the sea is a comfortable walk of 2km away (though the hill on the way back is challenging). Remote but not disconnected from the world, this is a perfect location for a relaxing seaside getaway. Available from €71 per night, it has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four.
