You'll feel instantly relaxed as you approach this terracotta paradise from the golden sandy beach of Marina di Bibbona. The sound of the waves and the quaint Italian comforts welcome you home. Sip a chilled glass of chianti poolside, as you enjoy the scent of garlic and cheese filling the air – the covered outdoor cooking area is the ideal spot for loved ones to gather and make memories. Traditional yet stylish, the interiors are like a giant hug. Tasteful colour, soft furnishings and quaint windows welcome the Italian sunshine indoors. The whole family will rest easy. At the end of your garden, the crystal blue coastline awaits – if a morning run across the secluded sands doesn’t tickle your fancy, a hot coffee watching the sunrise will. With something for everyone, pass the time with a refreshing swim, game of ping pong or even venture into the local area to explore further up the coast. Exquisite in location, and peaceful in nature, you’ll leave feeling revived with Italian spirit.
