The road

Up to Donoratico, then north.

From Marina di Castagneto you drive up to Donoratico, join the Variante Aurelia northbound and leave at Rosignano Marittimo; from there you follow for Castiglioncello and drive down to the bay. Thirty-six point two kilometres, thirty-four minutes.

It is the route for couples leaving the Etruscan coast for a narrower inlet, with terraces above the water instead of a long beach.

From Bolgheri to the bay

The landscape changes twice.

Marina di Castagneto is the beach of Castagneto Carducci, with Bolgheri just above and vineyards running almost to the coast. In a little over half an hour you go from the wine hills to a bay of rocks.

For couples living on this side, marrying at the Quercetano means leaving their own coast without going far: guests set off in the afternoon and are back the same evening.
