"The marina is good and well serviced..change the people operating the fuel station, absolutely disgraceful..the rudest fuel service in the Mediterranean"
Matteo Lenzi
"We were here before easter so everything was still very closed and Follonica is quite far and buses only operate sparingly."
Gion Wurster
"Mainly for those with moored boats, it has lovely restaurants and a pizzeria, as well as shops and an ATM. It's recommended for sunset lovers, and a lovely stroll is also possible. Very elegant and spotlessly clean, with ample parking behind it. It's somewhat hidden and private from the road."
