The Property — Oltremare
Oltremare sits two blocks from Follonica’s main beach, a calm, family-run 3-star with terracotta floors and a small pool hidden in a courtyard. The lobby smells of salt and fresh coffee; the staff remember repeat guests by name. Decent for budget travellers who want a clean base near the sea without fuss or frills.
Chronicles of Follonica
Follonica grew around a Medici-era ironworks in the 16th century, becoming a major foundry hub fuelled by local ore and pine forests. Its modern grid was laid in the 1800s when the Leopolda railway arrived, turning a fishing village into an industrial port. Today, the old ironworks are a cultural centre, and the city markets itself as a low-key family beach resort with a long sandy bay, a pine-lined promenade, and a mild, workaday character.
Best Time to Visit
Full Follonica guide →Best months
June and September: water is warm, sun reliable, crowds thin at the edges. July is fine but pricier and busier.
Peak / festival surge
July–August: Italian school holidays pack the beach and double room rates. Local Ferragosto (15 August) sparks firework displays and full occupancy.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September: sea is still swimmable, hotel prices drop 30–40%, and the town is calm. Good for quiet walks in the pinewoods.
Weather & packing
Follonica’s coastal humidity can make 30°C feel heavier; a stiff breeze often picks up mid-afternoon. Pack a light windbreaker and reef-safe sunscreen.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Oltremare, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or above) to minimize potential noise from the street and surrounding buildings. This hotel's address on Via Bruno Buozzi is in a relatively quiet area, but being higher up will help reduce any external noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the street and potentially more prone to noise from passing traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address on Via Bruno Buozzi doesn't offer any specific views worth requesting, as the surrounding area is primarily residential and commercial buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-3 are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the surrounding area.
🔊 Noise notes
The street noise is relatively minimal, but you may still hear some background noise from the surrounding area, especially during peak hours.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony or a room facing the rear of the hotel to minimize any potential noise. If you're driving, be aware that parking in the area is limited, and you may need to park in a nearby public lot or on-street parking, which may incur an additional fee.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
ATMs at local banks in town give the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Follonica train station or tourist offices.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in shops, supermarkets, and better restaurants; contactless is common for small payments, but some smaller bars and market stalls prefer cash.
Tipping is not expected but rounding up the bill or leaving a euro or two on the table is appreciated; no need to tip taxi drivers or hotel staff unless exceptional service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at a bar counter: about €1.10–€1.30.
A panino or slice of pizza from a takeaway bakery or pizza al taglio: about €4–€6.
Pizza or pasta main at a casual trattoria: around €8–€12.
The main pedestrian street (Corso del Popolo) and the area near the market square have several kebab shops, fry stalls, and panini places; also look for the weekly street market (Wednesday morning) for fresh arancini and focaccia.
Supermarkets Conad, Coop, and Lidl all have branches in the 58022 area.
The weekly Wednesday market on Via Roma sells clothes, shoes, and household goods at low prices; for high-street brands, head to the strip along Viale Italia.
Walking is best for town centre; a single bus ticket (AT Livorno) costs €1.50 and covers up to 75 minutes; from Pisa or Florence airports, take the regional train to Follonica station (approx €10–€15) rather than a shuttle bus.
Buy lunch from a bakery or supermarket rather than a sit-down restaurant; check if your accommodation provides a free beach umbrella or discount card for local lidos; fill a water bottle at public fountains (fontanella) around town.

Top Attractions in Follonica
💡 Come at sunset for the best light on the town hall facade. The gelato shop on the north corner makes a decent pistachio for 2.50 euros.
💡 Head to the stretch past Bagno Fiore, between the pier and the Torre Mozza road. It's quieter and the sand stays cleaner.
💡 Pop in around 17:00 on weekdays—the sacristan often unlocks the side chapel to show the 17th‑century reliquary locals call 'il tesoro'. No ticket needed.
💡 Rent a bike from the stand outside the tourist office on Via Roma. The main loop takes 45 minutes and ends at the Puntone beach snack bar.
💡 Go on the first Sunday of the month—entry is free then. Don't skip the short video in the back room about the old tuna fishery.
