The Property — La Beccana
La Beccana offers unfussy three-star comfort above the Maremma hills, a ten-minute walk from Scarlino’s medieval centre. The lobby is small, tiled and smells faintly of lemon polish; staff are practical and local. Its USP is the pool with coast views and the big breakfast buffet that includes proper caffè latte. Best for couples or solo travellers who want a quiet base to explore the Etruscan coast without resort prices.
Chronicles of Scarlino
Scarlino began as an Etruscan settlement, later fortified by the Aldobrandeschi family in the Middle Ages. Its hilltop castle, the Rocca, was built in the 12th century and overlooks expanses of macchia and olive groves. The old town’s narrow lanes and stone houses survived unmodernised into the 20th century, when tourism and organic farming reshaped the local economy. Today Scarlino is known for its intact medieval fabric and its proximity to the Bandite di Scarlino nature reserve, a protected coastal woodland.
Best Time to Visit
Full Scarlino guide →Best months
May, June and September: reliably warm (22-28°C), low humidity, no heatwaves, and the summer crowds haven’t peaked or have thinned out.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Festival-wise, the Palio Marinaro di Scarlino (a rowing contest) draws spectators in early August. Hotel prices at La Beccana roughly double compared to May, and advance booking is essential.
Budget shoulder season
Late April or October. Days are 18-22°C, most sights are open, and rates drop 30-40% below peak — good for hiking and sightseeing without queues.
Weather & packing
July afternoons here can hit 35°C with a sirocco wind that carries Saharan dust, making the air hazy. Pack a wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle; also bring a light jacket for evening breezes off the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Beccana, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or 4th) for a quieter stay due to potential street noise from Strada Provinciale 152. These rooms are also likely to be further away from the lift, which is a good thing given the 3-star rating and typical lift noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be closer to the hotel's entrance and potential noise from the reception area.
Best views
Given the hotel's address on Strada Provinciale 152, rooms on the west side (facing the road) may have a view of the surrounding countryside.
Quietest floors
2nd to 4th floors are likely the quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
Noise from the street can be expected due to the hotel's location on a provincial road.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony for a more pleasant stay, although this is not explicitly mentioned in the data. If you plan to explore the area by car, note that the hotel's address is on a main road, so parking may be convenient, but be mindful of potential traffic noise.
- 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

Top Attractions in Scarlino
💡 Visit late afternoon for the best light on the Tyrrhenian Sea; there is no official signage, just follow the cobbled lane up from Piazza Garibaldi.
💡 It’s only open on Saturday mornings from June to September; call the Comune di Scarlino to confirm, as hours can shift.
💡 Grab a coffee from Bar Centrale and sit on the south-facing bench to watch the sun drop behind the hills.
💡 Go early on a weekday to have the pool to yourself; the path from the car park is steep and rocky in parts, so wear grippy shoes.
💡 The trail to the abandoned borgo di Montioni is flat and takes about 40 minutes each way; bring water as there are no fountains inside.
