Lucca

An hour from the walls, the horizon opens.

Lucca is 68.1 km from the bay: the A11 towards Pisa, the Fi-Pi-Li, then the coast. Sixty minutes between the walls and the water.

The road

A11, Fi-Pi-Li, Aurelia. Then the descent.

From Lucca you take the A11 towards Pisa, continue on the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno, join the Variante Aurelia southbound and leave at Castiglioncello. 68.1 km, sixty minutes, almost all of it fast road.

It is the shortest of the inland cities in this part of Tuscany, and the one where the change is most obvious: walls and plane trees at the start, an enclosed bay at the end.

The alternative

Lucca has the countryside. This is the other option.

Most weddings around Lucca stay inland: a villa in the plain, a garden in the hills, a courtyard inside the walls. All good reasons — unless the two of you want the day to end with the sea in front of it.

The coast gives you something the countryside cannot: a ceremony with a horizon, dinner outdoors above the water, and a party that continues in the same building when the light goes.

Lucca guests can drive down and back the same day; nobody needs to book a room to be on time.

An hour is enough to leave the walls behind properly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How far is Astragalo from Lucca?
About 68.1 km, sixty minutes by car: the A11 towards Pisa, the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno, the Variante Aurelia south, exit at Castiglioncello.
What happens if it rains?
The main hall and the two club rooms are indoors: the ceremony can be held inside, and dinner and the party do not depend on the weather. The terrace is used when the day allows it.
Is an hour of road worth it for a wedding?
If the sea is the reason, yes. Guests from Lucca arrive in the afternoon and are home the same evening; the venue hosts one wedding per day, so the date and the spaces are yours alone.
Where do guests leave the car?
In the village of Castiglioncello, a few minutes’ walk from the venue. The lane to the bay is narrow: park first, then walk down.
