B&B Tuscany Lodge, rooms and terrace in the Campiglia village
B&B Tuscany Lodge is a bed & breakfast in the historic centre of Campiglia Marittima, in Tuscany, with well-kept rooms, a terrace over the village and home-made breakfast. It works well for couples and for visiting the village on foot before driving to the coast, less so for anyone wanting hotel services.

Where B&B Tuscany Lodge is and how to get there
B&B Tuscany Lodge is in the historic centre of Campiglia Marittima, a Tuscan village a short distance from the coast. The best way to arrive is by car, although those travelling by train can get off at Piombino and do the last stretch by road.
Once in Campiglia the village is walkable, while for the sea you have to drive. Here are the distances from the property's data, so you can see at a glance what is convenient and what is not.
| Place | Distance from the B&B |
|---|---|
| Port of Piombino | 22 km |
| Piombino station | 20 km |
| Acqua Village | 39 km |
| Golf Club Punta Ala | 44 km |
| Pisa airport | about 85 km |
The number that matters most is the last one. From Pisa the journey is long, so if you have an early flight the next day, it is better to sleep closer to the airport.
What the rooms and terrace are like
The rooms at Tuscany Lodge in Campiglia Marittima are well kept, clean and tastefully furnished, at least according to reviews. The highlight, mentioned more than once, is the terrace with a view over the rooftops of the village and the Maremma countryside.
There is no standard room. Guests mention a suite called Alloro, a studio inside the village and a room named after an Etruscan goddess, which suggests a historic house with rooms that differ from one another. Those who stayed in the studio describe a very comfortable bed and a cosy space.
The data I have does not include a precise list of features for each room. If air conditioning, TV or a private bathroom matter to you, ask before booking rather than assuming them.
What guests say
On Google the rating is 4.8 from 53 reviews, a really high score. Reading the reviews, the same things come up again and again, and almost all point the same way.
- The welcome. Several guests describe a kind, helpful owner who makes you feel at home, and a family-style management.
- The location. The village is easy to visit on foot and the sea is a few minutes by car, a balance many people like.
- The care. Clean, well-kept rooms and a calm atmosphere, suited to a relaxing weekend.
- The one sour note. A recent two-star review describes a welcome left to a delegated person, with vague information.
As you can see, the overall picture is very positive. But the critical review is the most recent of the negative ones and it is worth keeping in mind, as I explain below.
How breakfast is
Breakfast is one of the reasons B&B Tuscany Lodge is so popular. Several reviews describe it as generous, varied and home-made, often enjoyed on the terrace.
Homemade cakes and tarts are mentioned, including gluten-free options, and attention to guests' requests. The property's description speaks of continental, Italian or English and Irish alternatives, so anyone who does not like something sweet at breakfast should find something more substantial. For my part, in a small B&B this is exactly what makes the difference between an ordinary stay and one you remember.
What to know before booking
Before booking B&B Tuscany Lodge in Campiglia Marittima there are a few things to clear up, because the data does not answer everything. None is a disaster, but it is better to know them in advance.
- The meeting point. The critical review mentions an absent owner and unclear directions on where to have breakfast. Write first to find out who will greet you and where breakfast is served.
- Parking. You are in the heart of a historic village and the data does not mention a parking space. Ask how to arrive by car and where to leave it.
- The sea. It is not walkable. If you want the beach every day, factor that in.
- Services. The data does not show a 24-hour reception or other hotel-type services. It is a B&B, and should be treated as one.
Who it suits and what to do nearby
I would choose B&B Tuscany Lodge for a couple or a quiet weekend, when you want a base in the village of Campiglia Marittima and have a car to get around. Less so for anyone looking for nightlife, hotel services or a beach right outside.
Guests mention San Vincenzo, Baratti, Populonia and Venturina as nearby destinations, while the beaches of the Gulf of Follonica are reached by car. For water park lovers there is Acqua Village, and for golfers the Golf Club Punta Ala.
If you are still comparing options in Tuscany, this site also features the Agriturismo Il Montoto in Castiglione della Pescaia, the La Magica Torre in Pitigliano and the Azienda agricola Scerba in Casalguidi.
