"If you are looking for a nice apartment in a peaceful location, within a large Italian beach resort; then Casetta in Versilia will be ideal for you.
The apartment is immaculately clean and has just about everything you will need. The family who rent it met us and could not have been nicer. It is NOT one of those apartments that has only 4 plates, 4 glasses and only the most basic of items etc.. In fact, it feels more like you have borrowed a good friends apartment rather than taking a rental. If you wished to, you could cook all your meals in the apartment.
The apartment comes with free access and umbrella on the beach (Umbrella 2x loungers and a chair) plus the use of a lovely personal beach changing room. This is a big plus, as it can be very very expensive getting access onto the beach! The beach is a 5 minute stroll from the apartment. It also has its own car parking space which is again important as
The resort is quite large and has a long promenade with shops and restaurants. From our personal experience it seemed to be mainly occupied by Italians on holiday.
We hired a car at Pisa airport and found Viareggio a really good area for exploring, with Pisa, Lucca (very nice) and Carrera each only about 30 minutes away. We also visited Portovenere, a picturesque coastal town – possibly best to visit mid week as its very busy at the weekend. Also approximately an hour away was the area know as Cinque Terra which is also meant to be beautiful.
A very nice apartment and very glad that we chose it!"
