Forte dei Marmi

The same crossing, a quieter bay.

Forte dei Marmi is 75.8 km from the bay: sixty-four minutes south on the A12, off at Rosignano Marittimo, and the coast closes around you.

The road

South, with the Apuan Alps behind you.

From Forte dei Marmi you take the A12 southbound, leave at Rosignano Marittimo and follow for Castiglioncello, then down to the bay. 75.8 km, sixty-four minutes.

For the first part the mountains stay in the mirror: marble, the Versilia plain, the sea on the left. Then the motorway bends inland and the last exit brings you back to the water.

The bay

A coast that holds you instead of stretching out.

Forte dei Marmi has a wide, open beach and a horizon that runs straight out to sea. The Quercetano is the opposite: a short inlet, rocks on both sides, the water calm and the terraces above it.

For a wedding the difference is practical. The ceremony sits in a natural amphitheatre, dinner stays outdoors without a wind blowing the tablecloths, and the village is close enough to walk to.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How far is Astragalo from Forte dei Marmi?
About 75.8 km, sixty-four minutes by car: the A12 southbound, exit at Rosignano Marittimo, then Castiglioncello and the descent to the bay.
Is sixty-four minutes worth it?
It is if you are after a sheltered bay rather than an open beach. Guests from Versilia leave in the early afternoon and drive home after the party, all on motorway and dual carriageway.
What if the weather turns?
The main hall and the two club rooms are indoors: the ceremony can move inside, and dinner and the party carry on regardless. The terrace is used when the evening allows it.
Where is the parking?
In the village of Castiglioncello, a few minutes from the venue. Cars are left there and guests walk down the lane to the bay.
