Italy
Let's put things straight: Castiglioncello is not a place for nightlife. It's quite calm and very relaxed, but you can really enjoy the sea and the sun here. The beach has been awarded a blue flag for cleanliness. I used to spend my summer holidays here with my family when I was a kid and I still think it's a beautiful place. And if you have a car, try to find accommodation a little away from the sea. This way you'll be able to explore the countryside, which is lovely in this area.
Castiglioncello is 35 miles from Pisa, and accessible by train, bus or car;
