If you’re staying at the Terme Marine Leopoldo II and looking for a break from your routine, we have an “expert” tip for you: Cala Civette. Located just 26 km from our hotel, in the heart of the Scarlino area, this cove is the perfect retreat for those seeking silence, crystal-clear waters and a natural landscape that seems to have remained unchanged for a hundred years.
Unlike other, more famous beaches in the area, Cala Civette retains a quiet, unassuming charm. It’s the ideal destination if you want to feel like true explorers of the Maremma.
Beach Features
Cala Civette Beach
26 km from our hotelWhy Choose Cala Civette?
The reason is simple: peace and quiet. Dominated by the imposing Torre Civette, which seems to watch over the bay, the beach offers an authentic setting. Here you won’t find rows of colorful beach umbrellas or loud music. You’ll find only Mediterranean scrub that slopes down to the water’s edge, rocks smoothed by time and crystal-clear waters that invite you to go snorkeling.
It’s the perfect place for anyone who wants to truly unwind, read a book, or simply enjoy the sound of the waves in total relaxation.
Cala Civette can be considered “a more secluded extension” of Cala Violina. The two beaches are close to each other, separated only by a headland and the historic Torre Civette. While Cala Violina is the perfect destination for those seeking a “postcard-perfect beach” and willing to deal with the mandatory reservation process, Cala Civette is the ideal choice for those who want a more intimate and less structured experience. You won’t find the same level of fame here, but you’ll find plenty of space to breathe and enjoy the sound of the waves in total relaxation.
A Practical Guide: How to Get There
Cala Civette isn’t the kind of beach where you can just “drive up and take a dip.” To get there, you have to love nature. The journey involves a walk along the trails of the Bandite di Scarlino.
- The route: It’s about a 30-minute drive from our hotel to the area near Cala Violina. From there, the trail will lead you to Cala Civette.
- A practical tip: Since this is a natural area, the trail isn’t paved. Wear sneakers or light hiking shoes. Save your flip-flops for when you reach the shore! The walk is pleasant and shaded, but wearing the right footwear makes all the difference.



The Joy of Returning
We know what you’re looking forward to after walking, exploring and swimming in the pristine waters of Cala Civette: the ultimate in comfort. And there’s no better feeling than returning to the Terme Marine Leopoldo II at the end of the day.
Imagine the contrast: the untamed freedom of the morning and, in the afternoon, the warm embrace of our thermal waters that melt away every muscle tension. It’s the perfect way to turn a hike into a complete wellness experience.
1. Is Cala Civette as crowded as the nearby beaches?
Generally not. Since it’s less well-known and requires a short walk, it attracts a more laid-back, nature-loving crowd. It’s the ideal choice if you want to escape the crowds at the more famous beaches.
2. Are there restrooms on the beach?
No. Cala Civette is a completely wild beach with no amenities. You’ll need to come prepared with water, food and everything else you’ll need for the day. We recommend that you make all the necessary arrangements before leaving our hotel.
3. Is it recommended for people with small children or strollers?
It’s not the easiest option. The route involves a walk along a nature trail and the beach has no shade structures or restrooms. For families with very young children, we recommend our beaches in Marina di Grosseto, which are more convenient and equipped with every amenity for parents.
