Description Hazy Days of Summer: Marina di Pietrasanta

There's nothing like a private pool to get you into that holiday spirit and at this home in Marina di Pietrasanta, you'll also have the sandy beach just a short walk away. A charming seaside resort with plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy, you'll have local parks to explore, numerous beaches to play on and surrounding villages to seek out – as well as the big attractions of Lucca (around forty minutes by car) and Pisa (around fifty).

Surrounded by a pretty garden, with high hedging for privacy and comfy outdoor seating spots, this home is a stylish choice for a family or small group of friends. Set in a quiet residential area, it's a dreamy escape from reality, with relaxing shades of white and grey, along with farmhouse styling. We love the romantic bedrooms and the delightful covered terrace – perfect for barbecues after a day on the beach.
