Being only slightly distant from the seaside and Versilia’s golden beaches, our Bed & Breakfast is the ideal starting point for a pleasant boat excursion on hot summer days. You can visit The Gulf of Poets and Portovenere, Tigullio and the poetic Cinque Terre on a private boat, avoiding the crowds of tourists or long queues for embarkation. From the port of Viareggio, you can sail on a large catamaran in search of the herd of more than 150 dolphins that usually swim right off the coast.

Yoga lessons

Set in a natural environment, so calm, quiet and silent, our guest house is the ideal place for a yoga session or an hour of meditation. A qualified instructor will help you find the body balance and peace of mind, practicing under the pergola or in the silent library.
