LOCATION

The area around Sarzana caters to many different tastes, offering a wealth of leisure-time pursuits for people of all ages. Watersports enthusiasts can swim, windsurf, sail, and go sea-fishing in the Mediterranean, while sun-worshippers can bask idly on the unspoiled sandy beaches. The nearby inland Apuan Alps mountain range, which reaches as high as 1,750 meters above sea level, provides extensive opportunities for leisurely walking, more strenuous hiking, serious climbing, or carefree cycling in fantastic scenery. For those fascinated by history, art, and architecture, the medieval town of Sarzana, set in the valley below, invites you to explore its lovely historic center and magnificent churches, which acquired special importance when the town took over the bishopric of Luni during the Middle Ages. If, however, it is exclusive regional cuisine that you’ve come in search of, the villages hugging the local coast road from Bocca di Magra to Lerici boast some excellent fish restaurants.
Il Pettirosso Cottage is located within easy reach of the area’s main sights of outstanding natural beauty or historic and artistic interest, such as the following: the medieval town of Sarzana (10 mins); the Cinque Terre villages; the Gulf of Poets (15 mins by car); Portovenere (30 mins by car); Portofino (60 mins by car); the Apuan Alps and the white-marble quarries of Carrara (20 mins by car); the beaches of Versilia (30 mins by car); the famous Tuscan towns of Pisa (50 mins by car), Lucca (30 mins by car) and Florence (1 hour and 30 mins by car).
Many other unspoiled beaches dotted along the nearby coast can be accessed by car in about 15 mins.
