Description
The Secret Garden, located in the beautiful medieval village of Castelnuovo Magra, offers a serene and welcoming environment, with spacious rooms perfect for large families as well. Characterized by two large and vibrant gardens, where our guests can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. Its strategic location allows for easy access to the sea (just 10 minutes away), the fascinating Apuan Alps (only a 30-minute drive), and the art cities of Lucca and Pisa in about 45 minutes. Furthermore, in just 60 minutes you can reach Florence, Genoa, and Parma. The splendid Cinque Terre is a highly appreciated destination by our guests. Despite the historic center of Castelnuovo being located about 400 meters above sea level, the climate is always pleasant even during the summer, and all rooms are equipped with a fan. In conclusion, we guarantee unforgettable seaside stays and mountain excursions.

My name is Anna and I am here to fulfill the needs and desires of my guests. I am always available in the property to assist you with any necessity. However, I would like to inform you that in the Secret Garden, there are two dogs, Luna, a beautiful Samoyed, and Oliver, a sweet Dachshund, as well as three affectionate cats: Prema, Penny, and Melissa. These adorable companions are very friendly with people and children, but if you suffer from fur allergies, this might not be the most suitable property for you.

The secret garden retains the charm of a true bed and breakfast; you are hosted in Mrs. Anna's home, in an eclectic and absolutely authentic mix. Very spacious room, absolute silence and a truly secret garden where you can enjoy breakfast.
