Country hotel near Livorno

Hotel Borgo degli Olivi, near Livorno

The name of the 'Hotel Borgo degli Olivi' is no accident. Literally the 'village of the olives', this hotel near Livorno has been lovingly fashioned in the style of a medieval Tuscan village. This, of course, is medieval style with distinctly 21st century levels of comfort. The rooms all have telephones, minibar, safe, satellite TV, bathroom with shower and hairdryer, air conditioning and heating. There is a choice of double rooms (or double with single use) and triples. The apartments meanwhile (a selection of one- and two-roomed flats) come equipped with kitchen, two bathrooms, satellite TV, phone, heating and air conditioning, safe and covered terrace on to the garden. There are also packages available, with wine tastings and visits to local thermal spas included.

This three-star accommodation is in Riotorto, on the Tuscan coast, and near the town of Campiglia Marittima. A short drive from here takes you to Piombino and the Isle of Elba (famously an early place of exile for Napoleon after his fall from power). Nearby towns include Sassetta, Castagneto Carducci, Massa Marittima and Bibbona. The countryside of the Tuscan Maremma lies inland from here. Facilities at this hotel in southern Tuscany include a 24-hour front desk with express checkout and safety deposit boxes. There is a restaurant and lounge bar, free car park, outdoor swimming pool and meeting rooms. This is a great base for families too - there are gardens and play areas, and family rooms.
