Checkered floor in city square. Livorno, Tuscany, Italy.
When in Livorno you can visit the Aquarium and enjoy a great view
Livorno is an Italian port city on the west coast of Tuscany. It's known for its seafood, Renaissance-era fortifications and modern harbor with a cruise ship port. Its central Terrazza Mascagni, a waterside promenade with checkerboard paving, is the city's main gathering place. The bastions of the 16th-century Fortezza Vecchia face the harbor and open onto Livorno's canal-laced Venezia Nuova quarter. (Wikipedia) #Livorno
Beautiful square overlooking the sea, with its very special black and white checkered floor, is one of the most beautiful places in Livorno. The Terrace – named after the Livornese composer Pietro Mascagni – has a very special architecture: the floor is a 8,700 square meter chessboard, made up of over 34,000 white and black tiles, and the balustrade made up of 4,000 columns separates the square from the sea. #BVSBlue
There is a Ferris wheel on the boardwalk near the aquarium that provides an excellent panoramic view of the Livorno seaside for 4€ pp.

Everything was very good, just that the final price was different than the Expedia quote given as the exchange rate had changed. Would gladly stay here again and the staff were second to none.

This is a great resort. We stayed in one of their mobile homes but there's spaces for rent camping, vans, motorhomes and campers. I have mobility limitations and they were great to work with but there's a lot of access however in order to get to the beach you will have stairs. I chose not to go down. ...
