Castelnuovo Magra is a medieval village in the Val di Magra, in the province of La Spezia, on the border between Liguria and Tuscany. Albergo Smeraldo is located along Via Aurelia, just steps from the historic center, in an area that alternates stone houses, vineyards and olive groves typical of the Ligurian-Lunigiana hinterland. Within a few dozen meters there are bars and restaurants such as Al Bacio and Castelnuovo’s Crazy Beer, convenient for a dinner or an aperitif without needing a car.
Getting around is made easier by Luni train station, about 950 meters away, with connections to Sarzana and La Spezia, the latter also reachable by car in about 20 minutes (20 km). The coastal beaches, such as Marina di Carrara, are just over 4 km away, while Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport, the closest international airport, is about 52 km away. The Luni archaeological site, with its museum area, is just 2 km from the property.
The area is well suited to tourism combining sea, history and nature: from here it’s easy to organize excursions to the Cinque Terre and visits to Fosdinovo’s Malaspina Castle, about 12 km away, a medieval fortress overlooking the valley. In summer, the beaches of Versilia and the La Spezia coastline are the main destinations, while in the cooler months the hilly hinterland offers trails for walks and bike rides among the vineyards of the Colli di Luni.
