From Prato

One motorway between the city and the water.

The A11 runs from Prato through Pistoia and down to Pisa, where the Fi-Pi-Li takes over towards Livorno; then the Variante Aurelia south and the Castiglioncello exit. 120.4 km, 93 minutes.

It is a journey you plan, not improvise: a weekend, a celebration, a wedding. What waits at the end is a bay, a kitchen and a night that does not need another destination.

The table

The longest drive, the same table.

The table is the one we serve every evening: raw fish and mussels, spaghettoni with clams and bottarga, black cuttlefish crumble, amberjack, low-temperature pork fillet, fried fish, desserts made here.

Because the drive is long, the evening is built to keep you: aperitivo on the terrace, dinner, then the club with two rooms and a piano bar in the same building.

Weddings

A motorway between you and the sea.

A wedding here asks guests from Prato to travel: 120.4 km, 93 minutes, which works when the coast becomes the weekend rather than a single evening.

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.

The drive

A11, all the way to the coast.

The A11 from Prato runs through Pistoia to Pisa, then the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno and the Variante Aurelia south. The Castiglioncello exit comes after the last stretch above the sea.

The final kilometres leave the plain behind, the pines begin, and the road drops to the bay below the village.
