San Vincenzo is a small seaside town set on the coast of the Tyhrrenean Sea, facing the Tuscan Archipelago and the Isle of Elba.

An ancient fishing village, today it is the best equipped tourist centre on the Etruscan Coast, the strip of coastal land that runs from Leghorn through Quercianella and Castiglioncello to San Vincenzo, Populonia and Piombino. The San Vincenzo beaches of white, very fine sand, extend over twelve kilometres and are fringed by the typical scrubland of the Mediterranean and the centuries-old pine trees that sometimes touch the shore. But this is not all: the Land of the Etruscans is rich in history and art. The medieval towns of Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci, Suvereto and Campiglia Marittima still breathe the air and the fascination of their medieval history and of the peoples that once inhabited them. Genuine Etruscan settlements such as the Archaeological Parks of Baratti and Populonia which are living pearls of testimony to the importance of the Etruscan Coast.

More than 20% of the Coast is dedicated to Parkland: the Natural Park of Rimigliano with its 120 hectares of pine woods, Mediterranean oaks and cork trees, worthy objective of both sea and beach-lovers and of nature and fauna–lovers.

In fact, since 2006, this uncontaminated environment has flown the Blue Flag for clean sea and beaches, in recognition of all its seaside towns.

The area is easily reached by car on the freeway the SS 1 Aurelia, by train on the Turin-Rome line: San Vincenzo is 70 kilometres from the International Airport of Galileo Gallilei in Pisa. 

San Vincenzo is in an extremely convenient position, close to many of the medieval towns such as San Gimignano, Volterra, Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci.

With the ‘Gambero Rosso’, twelfth restaurant in the world category, San Vincenzo is clearly distinguished for its gastronomic tradition, and is associated with fish and the production of prestige wines such as Sassicaia and Ornellaia as well as the typical Tuscan taste of olive oils.
