Viareggio

One sea leaves, another opens.

Viareggio and the bay face the same water, sixty minutes apart: 63.4 km down the A12, off at Rosignano Marittimo, then the descent to the Quercetano.

The road

South on the A12, then off the dual carriageway.

From Viareggio you join the A12 southbound, pass Massa and Carrara, leave at Rosignano Marittimo and follow the signs for Castiglioncello. 63.4 km, sixty minutes including the last descent.

The motorway runs behind the Versilia coast for a while, then turns inland; the sea comes back at the end, in a different shape.

Two seas

The same water, two different coasts.

Versilia is a long beach with a straight promenade behind it, pinewoods and bath huts in rows. The Bay of Quercetano is small and closed: rocks on both sides, terraces stepping down, the village above.

Couples from Viareggio choose it for that difference. You keep the sea you know and change the way it looks at six in the evening, when the light comes in low across the water.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How far is Astragalo from Viareggio?
About 63.4 km, sixty minutes by car: the A12 southbound, exit at Rosignano Marittimo, then Castiglioncello and the descent to the bay.
Where do guests park coming from Viareggio?
In the village of Castiglioncello, a few minutes’ walk from the venue. The road down to the bay is narrow, so the car stays in the village and the last stretch is on foot.
Is it worth driving an hour past Livorno?
If you want a small bay instead of a long beach, yes. Sixty minutes on the A12 is not a journey for guests from Versilia: they arrive in the afternoon and are home after the party.
Can we have the civil ceremony there?
Yes: the terrace is licensed for civil ceremonies since 2018. Dates, documents and publications go through the Comune di Rosignano Marittimo; the venue prepares the space and the arch.
