Castelnuovo Magra is an exciting border between Liguria and Tuscany. The location on a hilltop at 180 metres above sea level can only be described as quaint. Few tourists find their way to this town with atmospheric streets and a beautiful location. The town has an excellent and well-attended Trattoria (Armanda), a small grocery store, one bar and a bakery. There are also several restaurants nearby.
The towns ancestry dates back to the 11th Century, during which time the Bishop of Luni built a castle, the ruins of which have been preserved and can be seen today. The nearest beach, Fiumaretta, is just 5 km away and the highway is 8 km away.
