Marina di Pietrasanta runs along Tuscany’s coast in between Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. A superb wide beach of soft golden sand with a breathtaking mountain backdrop. It is the ideal base from where you can explore and enjoy everything Tuscany has to offer, or the perfect retreat where you can relax and do absolutely nothing, safe in the knowledge that Bridgewater has taken care of all the important details.

There are few places in the world where the sparkling Mediterranean sea and wide golden sands stand against the stunning backdrop of the marble capped apuan alps and blend together with the shaded greenery of the pinewoods to produce a unique landscape and relaxing environment like in Marina di Pietrasanta. Marina di Pietrasanta is famous for its elegant private beach clubs, some of which have swimming pols and offer water sports facilities but all of which serve fantastic lunches especially if you are a sea-food lover! The beaches are pristinely kept and well equipped, some even with their own towels which are exclusively available to guests of the beach club.

Marina di Pietarsanta has everything you need for a relaxing holiday; a wide variety of ice-cream parlours, an array of shops with goods for all ages plus some blissfully romantic little bars and authentic trattorias where you can pass away the eveing and finish with a ‘passegiata’ like the Italians do.

With the focal point of a private villa you can join Forte dei Marmi’s Country Club with swimming pool, fitness centre, tennis, the sailing club with expert tuition, windsurf, play golf, walk in the mountains (especially in Autumn when the colours are golden and in the villages smoke bellows from the chimneys and mushroom harvesting in plentiful), cycle your way into the charm of small town Italian life or relax and do absolutely nothing!.
The area has been the home-base of Bellaglen Villas (our sister company) since 1973, so not many people know the properties or the region better! To compliment these exclusive rentals, We operate our own offices locally with bilingual staff and Bridgewater offers total flexibility with early and late season arrivals so that our guests can take advantage of the low cost flights now widely available.

Marina di Pietrasanta is less than 5 minutes by car from the world famous sculpting town of Pietrasana with it’s medieval origins, 20 minutes from the walled city of Lucca, 30 minutes from Pisa, just about an hour from Florence and 90 minutes from both Genoa and Bologna. If you prefer not to drive, all these cities are linked to Pietrasanta old town by rail.
