Two hours from the hills to the water.
Siena keeps its distance from the sea: 104.3 km, 119 minutes, just under two hours of Fi-Pi-Li and Variante Aurelia between Piazza del Campo and the Bay of Quercetano.
A day out that ends in the bay.
You leave Siena towards Colle di Val d’Elsa, join the Fi-Pi-Li and follow it to Livorno; from there the Variante Aurelia south brings you to the Castiglioncello exit. 104.3 km, 119 minutes.
It is not the dinner you decide at eight in the evening. It is a day out or a weekend: the sea at the end of the road, a table on the terrace, and the drive back on the same fast roads.
Fish, then the club, then the road home.
Dinner starts with raw fish and mussels, goes on with spaghettoni, clams and bottarga, and ends with desserts made in the kitchen. The kitchen is in the building, so courses and timing stay in the same hands.
After coffee the two club rooms and the piano bar open. Guests from Siena usually sleep on the coast and drive back the next morning, when the road is the same but the day is not.
The day you drive down for.
Siena couples often arrive the day before: on the wedding day the only journey left is the road down to the bay, and the ceremony has the water behind it.
The civil rite is held on the terrace, accredited since 2018, and the venue hosts one wedding per day. The space and the arch are prepared here; dates, documents and publications are handled with the Comune di Rosignano Marittimo.
Fi-Pi-Li, then the Aurelia.
The route is two fast roads and no mountain passes: out of Siena towards Colle di Val d’Elsa, Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno, Variante Aurelia south, Castiglioncello exit. The last kilometres drop through the pines to the water.
Two hours is long for a midweek dinner and short for a weekend: south of Livorno there are beaches, the Etruscan coast and enough to fill a Saturday before the evening.
