It is in the middle of a historic castle village so it is like a little time travel. Prepare to walk a bit to the car as must be parked outside the village and the village is closed for traffic over night. It is silent in the night and in the naturally cool rooms we had perfect sleep. A little shop is at the corner. A Trattoria is nearby. The little kitchen allows very classic italian cooking on gas! I use to travel with my own iron pan which was a good fit here. Espresso pots are there. There is no oven, however in summer it is not recommended anyway. We often went to the free beach mirabella which has free parking. 200% recommendation for those who enjoy the real thing.

Gemma and her assistant Anna (who speaks very good English!) are the most gracious of hosts. The unit is impeccably clean and furnished with everything you need...especially the kitchen. The village of Castelnuovo Magra has a very good restaurant (Armanda), a great coffee/beer cafe (Cafe Creme), a beautiful church, post office, and small grocery store. All the people in town are very friendly. We had the most enjoyable stay.

"The apartment of three floors was nicely furnished and very clean. The top floor living area overlooked the Magra River and the Mediterranean. A good base for visits to the 5 Lands, Sarzana, etc. We were very pleased with the apartment and the area."

"Very nice accomodation, in a charming little village. Thank you very much."
