About us and our holiday home

Hello, we are Elena and Georg. We live in Ulm but we travel a lot between Baden-Württemberg and Tuscany. Why?
Me, Elena, I am italian Born near Florence: that's why I travel a lot between these 2 countrys! In the past because of my work and now mainly because of family, friends and holiday. Georg is german, born in Stuttgart: so a pure swevian man. 
 
2010 Georg and me, we bought this holiday home at the seaside on the Etruscan coast.
We love spending some of our spare time there, but the distance and jobs let us not beeing there as oft as we would like to. So we rent our home at the seaside to those who want to spend their holiday or just some relaxing days in Tuscany!

  • In Riotorto (the small village about 3 km away) you can find anything: bakery, butcher, pharmacy, frutis and vegetables, a supermarket Incoop. Once a week a small grocery markt takes place along the street in Riotorto.
  • If you pay attention when driving in the sourroundings you can find placese where both seasonal fruit and vegetables are sold direct from the producers.
  • About 800 mt  from the residence there is the small Train Station Vignale-Riotorto. It is possible to reach Follonica, LIvorno or Pisa by Train. It is a small Train Station where only local Trains stop but anyway a good opportunity for those who prefer to travel without a car. Good Train Connection Pisa-Follonica!
  • For Gourmets: in the neighbourhood there are a lot of places where you can eat very good. You will find some suggestions in our guestbook in our Cottage. On the beach there are 3 or 4 bars that also offers delicious fish dishes on their terraces on the beach. Don't miss it expecially in the evening by the sundown: it is the perfect crowining of a summer holiday at the seaside!

We do suggest a stay in our bungalow to people who love pure seaside life and peaceful places and to families with children. We love to go there in May, June and September when the beach are almost desert and take long walks on the beach. Apart from the nice sand beach of Mortelliccio you can make daily trips in the surroundings to find small stony or sandy bays partly to get only on foot. To get an idea take a look at this:  

  

You can also alternate lazy days on the beach to cultural trips: few kilometers nordwards: Populonia and Baratti. Southwards: don't miss Massa Marittima and Castiglion della Pescaia. From here you can take the boat to Giglio and Giannutri. Then Parco Naturale dell'Uccellina, Maremma and Punta Ala. Do not forget the amazing Giardino dei Tarocchi of the famous Artist Niki de Saint Phalle in Capalbio.
 We do not suggest a stay in our Bungalow to those who Need nightlife, movida, bars and Animation in the evening. Only on 3 weeks in August something is organized in the Resort but only then and only a few!
