From the main road (via Marconi) a private road with an electric gate and driveway leads to two rows of terraced houses. The property is the first villa on the left side and is accessed via 2 large pedestrian and vehicular gates which lead to the garden and your private parking.

The kitchen with dining area (for 6), leads to the external balcony, is decorated in a bright yellow color and is fully equipped with a fridge, freezer, double sink, electric oven, 4 induction burners, plates, pots and pans.

Our opinion: Independent villa with garden and 4 bedrooms to accommodate up to 8 people, suitable for a large family or a group of friends: even if the presence of only 2 bathrooms makes it more suitable for fewer guests.
Excellent for enjoying nature, the pine forest and the sea (easily accessible). The two bicycles given for free use were much appreciated. Others can be rented by the cyclist just 80 meters away.
The bus stop for Viareggio (with night trips to the Forte dei Marmi nightclubs) is almost in front of the house. The Torre del Lago Puccini train station is only 500 meters away.
Two bicycles are available to guests (with locks included) and can be used for free and parked in your garden or in the indoor garage. If the two bicycles in use are not enough, the rental cyclist is only 80 meters away.
Private access road, closed by an electric driveway gate, and a further private gate that delimits your garden. On the first floor, there is the balcony which is accessed from the kitchen and the living/dining room with a table for 8 people.
The accommodation is close to all amenities: restaurants, pizzerias, bars, newsagent, tobacconist, greengrocer, small store, Coop supermarket, coin-operated laundry, laundry/ironing shop, pharmacy, bank, post office... The bus stop is right in front of the house (also for Viareggio with night service to the discos).
The sea is also close and easily reachable by bicycle along a path that runs alongside the pine forest.
All these comforts guarantee a truly relaxing holiday!
