Public beach close to the villa:
Except the beach in front of Marina di Castagneto Carducci, all the others are without bathing establishments. The nearest beach is that of Seggio at only 1.4 km from Villa Tracina, you can reach it following “il Viale delle Palme” (the avenue of palms). The depth of the sea near the shore is not steady and it is necessary to reach those points where the water level is shallow thanks to some sandbanks. On the right, crossing on foot the stream that follows into the sea, you will find only dunes and pinewood for many kilometres. Also the public beach after the equipped beach of Marina di Castagneto Carducci, towards San Vincenzo, has shoals in many points and a pure nature behind. By both the equipped beach and the public one, to the stream of Seggio, there are first-aid stations with bathing-attendants.
Equipped beach close to the villa & attractions:
For families with children, we recommend the Schangrillà at 1.5 km from Villa Tracina (through the pinewood at the end of the equipped beach, towards Marina di Bibbona) and the Zattera, at the beginning of the equipped beach of Marina di Castagneto Carducci towards San Vincenzo. In both of them it is possible to have lunch and dinner.
Castagneto Carducci countryside: This is the real Tuscany, remote from tourist routes. We recommend the road that reaches Castagneto Carducci, leaving from the street of Bolgherese (towards Bolgheri). Directions for reaching those countries: turn on the left of the provincial road for Castagneto Carducci, coming from SS1 Aurelia to the restaurant Zi’ Martino, then again on the right, towards Castagneto Carducci.
For families with children: we suggest going to the horsemanship / entertainment park of Cavallino Matto, at 250 metres from the villa. For young people, the night life is lively even if there is only the discothèque “La Zattera”.
Restaurants for gourmands:
Restaurant Da Ugo is located in the historic centre, in the mediaeval village; it is a famous restaurant, which is cited in the guide to Italian restaurants called “Slow Food” with acceptable prices. There is a wonderful view. They offer various menus and assorted with local specialities. It is necessary to book.
Restaurant Il Castagno is a secluded restaurant in the chestnut woods of the hills behind Castagneto. You can find it on the street to Sassetta - there are a lot of directions. During the summer, it is possible to eat outside thanks to a fresh temperature. The restaurant offers a menu based on wild boar meat.
Restaurant Albergo Roma is not particularly attractive (at the end of the town of Donoratico, by the side of Aurelia), but the relation between quality and price is good.
