Pietrasanta is one of Italy’s best kept secrets. Loved by locals and Italians yet relatively undiscovered by foreign tourists. From revelling in the artistic treasures and architectural wonders of the old town square to enjoying a glass of full-bodied red beside a hillside of olive trees or soaking up the sun on the wide golden beaches of Versilia, Pietrasanta's kaleidoscope of pleasures will intoxicate your mind and enrich your soul any time of the year.
Charming and stylish, Pietarsanta is now the haunt of the internationally famous (Sir Paul Smith loves the Enotecca restaurant and so does Gina Lollobridgiga. See what Sir Paul Smith had to say about Pietrasanta in the Sunday Times Magazine here) Henry More, Bottero (the Spanish artist whose paunchy warrior guards the entrance to the village), Mitoraj have all spent time working here and exhibiting their works of art, but then, we knew it first! Bridgewater make paths for others to follow! The town is abundant with authentic restaurants serving food to satisfy the most discerning of pallets and café life spills out on to the square.
