Spacious luxury villa in a strategic location between Liguria and Tuscany

Located on the border between Liguria and Tuscany, the community of Castelnuovo Magra takes its name from the charming medieval village nestled between the sea and the hills. Perched elegantly on the slopes of the Apuan Alps, this gem overlooks the plain, offering breathtaking views that, on clear days, stretch all the way to the Tuscan Archipelago. Strolling through the stone-paved alleys of the historic center means breathing in the atmosphere of times past, discovering picturesque views and panoramic squares that tell a story rooted in the 12th century, when the village was founded as a stronghold of the Bishops-Counts of Luni. Along Via Dante, where Dante Alighieri is said to have passed in 1306, you’ll find elegant historic palaces, while monuments such as the Castle of the Bishops of Luni and the Bishop’s Palace of Castelnuovo Magra preserve the charm and prestige of the past. One of the artistic highlights ist represented by the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, which houses the precious “Crucifixion” by Pieter Brueghel the Younger. But Castelnuovo Magra is also a land of culinary and wine excellence. The gentle slopes surrounding the village are dotted with prestigious vineyards, where the renowned Vermentino dei Colli di Luni is produced, a symbol of a centuries-old winemaking tradition. Here, the experience is truly authentic: you can taste the wines directly at local wineries or enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Benvenuto Vermentino festival. Every year, the village comes alive with the aromas and flavors of Liguria, Tuscany, Sardinia, and Corsica, offering a sensory journey featuring wine and extra virgin olive oil tastings, traditional dishes, music, conferences, workshops, and spectacular cooking demonstrations. Its strategic location makes Castelnuovo Magra an ideal starting point for exploring some of the region’s most fascinating destinations. In just a few minutes, you can reach the beaches of Bocca di Magra, Fiumaretta, Marinella di Sarzana, and Lerici, with its elegant boardwalk. A little further on, the villages of the Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and the picturesque Gulf of Poets enchant visitors from all over the world. A short distance away, Sarzana offers a lively historic center brimming with shops, restaurants, and historical landmarks, while nearby Versilia invites you to discover iconic towns such as Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, and Viareggio. The great art cities of Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Genoa are also not to be missed. Easily accessible thanks to its proximity to Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport, Castelnuovo Magra is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic experience, where history, nature, the sea, and local flavors blend in a unique harmony: a place to experience, savor, and remember.
