Residence Onda Marina, Marina di Pietrasanta

1 bedroom, sleeps 2 adults + 2 children

   


An impressive new residence of apartments located just outside Marina di Pietrasanta, near Viareggio, the Residence Onda Marina sits just 1,500m from the beach on the northern Tuscany Coast.

Set in extensive grounds, it boasts a 12 x 8m pool with solarium, deck chairs and sun beds, as well as a small childrens' playground. There is also a snack bar for those who wish to spend the day by the pool.
   

For the more energetic, there are tennis courts nearby and bicycles and scooters can be hired in the town, and also the possibility of transfers to the beach (ask at reception).

Simply but comfortably furnished, with light and airy rooms, all apartments sleep up to 4, with 1 double bedroom, living/dining room with double sofa-bed, shower/WC, and kitchenette with 2 electric plates and microwave, fridge/freezer. This opens onto a small balcony with table and chairs.

The seaside resort of Marina di Pietrasanta and the surrounding area offer nearly 5kms of wide, gently sloping sandy beach and transparent blue sea, set against a backdrop of pine forests and mountains, just a few km away. For those who wish to venture further, there are numerous villages and towns within easy reach.

Viareggio is one of the best known beach resorts in Tuscany, hosting the Carnevale di Viareggio, one of the biggest carnival festivals in Italy. Just 10 minutes from the residence, there are good seafood restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. 10 minutes in the other direction will bring you to Forte dei Marmi - famous for its long stretches of sandy beach and its fascinating landscape, dominated by the rugged Apuan Alps and marble quarries. Here you will also discover charming villages nestled in the numerous valleys or perched at the top of hills.

Pisa is approximately 40 minutes by car. Known throughout the world for its famous Leaning Tower (actually the bell tower for the enormous Duomo, or cathedral), Pisa is crammed full of wonderful, historic monuments and buildings dating back many hundreds of years and much of Pisa has retained its medieval appearance. The many remarkable Pisan buildings combine Moorish, Gothic and Romanesque architectural features.

Lucca, the home of Puccini is about the same distance as Pisa, and one not to be missed. A real gem, Lucca is full of arched doorways revealing vaulted passages and columns. This is a town where you can dispense with a map and simply walk or, like the locals, cycle. Why not climb one or other of the two highest bell-towers to look out on the mazy rooftops of the town or visit the many churches, including the fine Duomo with its own museum. Renowned for its concerts, which take place in the bigger piazzas during the summer, there are also plenty of galleries to keep art lovers happy.

Of course no visit to Tuscany would be complete without a visit to Florence. Known as the cradle of the Renaissance and one of the greatest cities in the world, Florence provides a feast of history, art and architecture, and you will be spoilt for choice, with the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace and the Ponte Vecchio, to name but a few.

Please note that the pool will be open from 20 May until 30 September.
