Only a few minutes from the characteristic town of Fosdinovo and the historic town of Sarzana.

There is car access and parking.

Sarzana, just a 10 minute drive, is a vibrant medieval market town with large elegant central piazza and cobbled lanes meandering through the town flanked with coffee shops and antique stores. During the summer months Sarzana often hosts festivals, concerts and open-air events staged in the piazzas and along the narrow, cobbled lanes. On summer evenings there is a local craft/ antique market which fills the whole town and is a joy to wander through in a welcoming atmosphere. The central castle has a number of exhibitions and events, and it too is open on summer evenings. Sarzana also has a train station with direct trains to Pisa, Florence, the Cinque Terre and Genova.

The Gulf of the Poets is a beautiful bay guarded by a group of three islands: Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. There are exceptional fish restaurants, as well as opportunities for sailing, canoeing, snorkelling or just relaxing on one of the beaches hidden in the craggy bays around Fiascherino or Tellaro. The easiest way to get around the gulf is by boat which runs between Lerici, La Spezia and Portovenere and on to The Cinque Terre. The name Gulf of the Poets is from the literary connection as some of the world’s most famous poets including Shelley, Byron and DH Lawrence lived here at some time.

Lerici and San Terenzo offer golden sandy beaches with views to the islands and pretty piazzas with cobbled lanes which host some of the best restaurants in the area. Lerici itself is dominated by the castle with the old village of coloured houses huddled on the steep hill dropping down to the sea and the marina. The little lanes of Lerici have many colourful shops and restaurants so it is the perfect place of the evening stroll, the 'passeggiata'. The area is beautiful.

Both the coastal areas of Versilia and the Gulf of the Poets are just a few kms away. Sarzana is lovely both for the busy Thursday market and for the live music on summer evenings and it also has a train station with direct trains to Pisa, Florence and the Cinque Terre. A perfect location to explore the Ligurian coastline and the whole of Tuscany.

Distances: Fosdinovo 5 km, Sarzana 5 km, Lerici (beaches) 12 kms, La Spezia 20 km, Cinque Terre 35 km, Lucca 70 kms, Pisa (airport) 65 kms, Florence 120 kms.
