One hour from the walls to the water.
Lucca ends at its walls, and the sea is somewhere else. 68.1 km and an hour of A11, Fi-Pi-Li and Variante Aurelia take you from the ramparts to the Quercetano.
The easiest hour of the week.
A11 towards Pisa, Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno, Variante Aurelia south, Castiglioncello exit. 68.1 km and 60 minutes, with the last kilometres dropping to the bay.
For a Lucca family the bay works as a Sunday: leave after breakfast, sit down at one o’clock, walk down to the water afterwards and be home before the evening.
A Sunday lunch that lasts.
Lunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00, and the table is the same as in the evening: raw fish, mussels, spaghettoni with clams and bottarga, amberjack, fried fish and desserts made here.
In the evening the club sets a different pace, with two rooms and a piano bar at the same address. The week runs from Tuesday to Sunday; Monday the venue is closed.
Walls, then water.
A Lucca wedding on the bay gains one thing the city cannot give: a horizon. The civil rite is held on the terrace, accredited since 2018, with four terraces, a central hall, a summer garden, two club rooms and a piano bar.
One wedding per day means the afternoon and the evening are not shared with anyone else, and the kitchen works only for your guests.
A11, Fi-Pi-Li, Aurelia.
Take the A11 towards Pisa, then the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno and the Variante Aurelia south. The Castiglioncello exit is the last turn before the descent to the bay.
Guests arriving by train find Castiglioncello station a few minutes from the venue, with the village and its parking just above.
