Discover our beautiful land

San Vincenzo

San Vincenzo is a beautiful town on the sea, that enjoys a pleasant climate throughout the year.

We have more than 15 km of sandy beaches and a wonderful sea. The location of San Vincenzo makes it perfect both for sea and relaxing holidays and travels characterized by discovering the beauty of Tuscany.

BLUE FLAG

For many years San Vincenzo has been the winner of the Blue Flag: a very important National recognition, that certifies the high quality and the great beauty and cleanness of our beaches and our sea.

GREEN FLAG

This year San Vincenzo won the Green Flag: a prize awarded to very few beaches in Italy that are suitable for children.
San Vincenzo is therefore confirmed as one of the best Italian tourist areas for families!

OUR BEACHES

COASTAL PARK OF RIMIGLIANO

 

One of the favourite destinations for those who love the sea, the clear water, the pine forest.

Rimigliano is a long line of Mediterranean scrubland that shows itself in all of its variety of species and overlooks a beautiful free beach, characterised by “dunes”.

Inside of the pine woods, in certain points, there are refreshment areas with restrooms. Inside the woods there are paths, with interesting descriptions about the area, its history and the species that inhabit it.
It is in the southern area of the municipality of San Vincenzo, and it is bordered by SP 23 (Via della Principessa)

“La Conchiglia”  the beach between San Vincenzo and Marina di Castagneto

Beach north of the tourist port of San Vincenzo, partly free and partially equipped.

From the last resort at the north end, begins a wonderful totally free beach, which is accessible only from the beach, that joins San Vincenzo and the nearby Marina di Castagneto Carducci. A beach 7 km long, clean, wide, and very distinctive.

The beach of Centro

Located in the central part of San Vincenzo, near the pedestrian area and the touristic port, this beach, characterised by the presence of several beach resorts and some free beach areas, is ideal for those who want to walk to the centre. The coastline is sandy.

La Principessa beach

Beach situated south of San Vincenzo, between the Centro del Paese and the Park of Rimigliano. Reachable on foot and by bike, it is equipped with beach resorts, beach tennis courts, several cafes and restaurants. Here, too, like the beach of “centro” and the beach of “La conchiglia” there are free beach areas. The coastline is sandy and as we trace our steps towards the south, the beach becomes wider.

GULF OF BARATTI

 

Still continuing towards the south, just within a few km of the Park of Rimigliano, there is the fantastic Gulf of Baratti.
This gulf, characterised by crystal clear water with the beautiful ocean floor, restaurants, free and equipped beaches, attracts many thousands of tourists every day.
It is possible to rent small watercrafts and book trip.

BUCA DELLE FATE

 

It is a beach of pathways, one of the few reachable by land on the rocky coastline between the promontory of Piombino and that of Populonia.
The water and the rocky seabed protect it from the winds. To reach it you must follow the road from the Gulf of Baratti that leads to Populonia. Before reaching the tower of the small village, park your car and take the easily seen path that goes into the brush. After about a twenty minute descent, begins the steep cliff that leads directly to the sea. On the cliffs that surround it, perched on the rock, live some specimens of dwarf palms, a unique Mediterranean spontaneous palm.

Art and history

ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK OF POPULONIA

http://www.parchivaldicornia.it/

Between the slopes of the promontory of Piombino and the Gulf of Baratti (10-minutes drive away from San Vincenzo) there is one of the few Etruscan necropolis in Italy. The Parco is can be visited every day and booking is not necessary.

ETRUSCAN ARCHEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

Piazza della cittadella Piombino (LI)

Ph: +39 0565 221646

www.parchivaldicornia.it/parco.php?codex=pop-gen

This museum is in the historic town centre of Piombino, built in the early 1800s for the sovereigns Felice and Elisa Baciocchi, sister of Napoleon, inside the fortified “Cittadella”, which Leonardo Da Vinci helped design. In this museum there are many Etruscan and Roman works.

ARCHEOLOGICAL/MINING PARK OF SAN SILVESTRO

All information:  www.parchivaldicornia.it

Duration of the visit 20 minutes

Situated in the Visitor centre, a building originally designed for the energy production of the mines in the first years of the 1900s. The museum represents a natural introduction for the following visits to the mines and to the medieval village of Rocca San Silvestro.
In the section dedicated to the Val di Cornia Parks, it introduces the historical and environmental aspects of the area; the geological section shows the nature and development of the mineral deposits of Campigliese, and an annotated sampling is displayed. The section dedicated to Rocca San Silvestro shows in a summary of the results of the excavation, through archeological findings and the reconstructive hypotheses about the process of mining metals documented at the site.

Duration of the visit 40 minutes

Before equipping yourself with the provided equipment, the route in the Mine of Temperino is preceded by an area with displays that show the evolution of the mining industry of the Campigliese, from Etruscan times to the present day. The visitable tunnel, 360 m. long, is one of the few where it is still possible to compare the ancient extractive methods with the modern ones. Equipped with helmets and coloured raincoats, once inside the mine visitors discover a broad range of rocks and minerals from the metalliferous reserves of the Campigliese and the traces of the work of the miners, a memory of the fatigue and harshness of a profession which has now almost disappeared.

Duration of the visit 15 minutes

Housed in the service building of the Earle Shaft, the only surviving of the 5 mining shafts which were located in the area of the Campigliese at the beginning of the last century. This building housed the winch which, in the last stage of the life of the mines, transported the miners to a depth of up to 170 metres. Today the Museum with its storyboards inside and outside, tells the story of the usage of the various pieces of machinery belonging to the last stages of activity remaining where they were abandoned on the last day the mine was open.

Duration of the visit 15 minutes

Leaving the Mining Machinery Museum after a short walk, the visitor arrives at the entrance to the Lanzi – Temperino tunnel and the “Morteo”, or the metal “shed” used by the miners as a changing room and canteen. This building today is dedicated to the miners, with a collection of old photos and documents which tell of their lives, their work, the illnesses and the trade union struggles to prevent the closure of the mine. The harshness of this noble trade is told in a video by the miner Duma to the visitors who, seated on the benches where in days of old the meals were eaten before returning to work, can listen for a few minutes.

Duration of the visit 50 minutes

The direct Lanzi-Temperino Tunnel (ex Ortaccio) was started as mining prospecting in the second half of the 1800s. It was then completed by the Mining Company of Campiglia Marittima Spa in the 1960s as a haulage tunnel for the transport of minerals from the extraction shaft to the crushing and flotation installations of the Lanzi Valley. The minerals were transported on mine-cars along narrow-gauge tracks. The same journey the minerals took in those days can be taken today by the visitors who, aboard the train running through the tunnel, can reach the Lanzi Valley and Rocca San Silvestro. Inside the tunnel, the working tools, the shapes and colours of the minerals and a picturesque stop in the grand central extraction room will take the visitors on a discovery of an extraordinary underground world.

Duration of the visit 40 minutes

Rocca San Silvestro, a medieval village of miners and smiths, was founded by village lords between the tenth and eleventh centuries in order to exploit the abundant local deposits of copper and silver-bearing lead ore. The metals were to be used for coin production (“zecche toscane”) principally in the mints of Lucca and Pisa; the village lords enjoyed close commercial relations with these cities during the period. In medieval times this village was known by the name of Rocca a Palmento (a millstone, or “palmentum”, has been discovered in the oil press below the church) and owes its present name to the saint to whom the church was dedicated. The village was abandoned during the course of the fourteenth century as a consequence of a variety of factors which were principally economic and connected with a change in the system of resource management. The visitor follows an itinerary designed to show the social and economic organisation, the eating habits, the building and metallurgical techniques of a medieval community. Access to the Rock is possible following a path suitable with trainers or walking boots. Time necessary from Lanzi Valley to Rocca San Silvestro around 20 minutes

Duration 1 hour (easy)

A route between woods and glades that connects the park entrance with Campiglia Marittima. Passing through the remains of the 19th-century aqueduct and the springs that until recently supplied Campiglia, you arrive in the historic town center of this millennial village, dominated by the Rocca Medioevale.

Duration 20 minutes (easy)

This takes the visitor from the exit of the Temperino Mine back to the Museums, in part retracing the route taken by the railway which transported metal ore in the early years of this century. It illustrates the main phases of mineral exploitation in the area – mine shafts, tunnels, and waste left behind by centuries of mining activity.

Duration 1 hour (challenging)

It is the path for access to the castle of Rocca San Silvestro. It ends in the Valle dei Manienti, at a medieval mine built by the inhabitants of the castle. Close to the mine there are remains of ancient marble quarries. Of particular interest is the natural aspect of the path, that keeps a dense vegetation with traditional plants.

Duration 1 hour e 10 minutes (challenging)

This path leads from the Temperino Mine exit to the washing plant of the Lanzi valley. Winding along the line of metalliferous veins, it takes in the main archaeological and mining features of the area which are visible at the surface, including the entrances to medieval and more ancient mines, the impressive opencast quarries, the remains of extraction shafts and tunnels. The dominant colours to be seen along the route are the yellows and reds of the by now abundant slag half hidden by the luxuriant vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub

Duration 1 hour e 10 minutes (moderate)

It is a ring walk that starts and ends in the Laverie of Valle dei Lanzi. Following this valley you will pass through the springs of medieval extraction, the Medicean operations and the large installations of the English mining company Etruscan Mines. Its name is a reminder of the mining workers of the 16th century; German miners were called “i Lanzi”.
