BruceDunning Says: This is a nice fort and looks like it was historically taken care of. Unfortunately, the day we were there, it was closed.
MadKiwiBeast Says: Don't know if its really a "must see"but it is pretty impressive. Don't like me be fool into thinking its marble caves - unfortunately cave doesn't translate as cave but mines... Anyway it was something different and it is where Michaelangelo got his first piece of marble...
Sarita76 Says: This part of the Tyrrenian coast is very touristy and well-organized as for receptive structures. You will find plenty of the so-called BAGNI (bathing establishments). They usually have strange and odd names, mainly christian names (like "Bagno Maria") or places (like "Bagno...
Sarita76 Says: The castle of Massa crowns the top of a rocky hill and from its position dominates the wide underlying plain and great part of the Tyrrhenian coast line. The castle was the seat of the marquises of Massa and was always closely related to the coast and the sea, due to its...

Ostello Apuano: My favourite hostel in Northern Italy!
MadKiwiBeast Says: I really loved it here because the staff tend to mingle more than some of the other hostels and it was quiet which was just what I needed after Firenze (Florence). Things were more relaxed here and it was FAR cheaper than any of the other hostels I'd been to (which...
Locanda Gavarini: Luniagiana's style
PALLINA Says: Lunigiana is a very small mountain place between Emilia Romangna, Tuscany and Liguria, not far from sea but, actually in the hills.I visited Locanda Gavarini for Easter Day 2008; actually it was very very crowded (and it has 300 seats so when everything is full can be very...
Sarita76 Says: Lilia is a nice and kind ukrainian woman I know in Massa. As you can see from the picture, she makes wonderful cakes! Unfortunately, she doesn't sell her delicatessen but they're great gift for us!
Amici dell'Universo: Fish, fish, fish... and more fish!
Sarita76 Says: I had Tagliolini all' aragostella, but I suggest to taste all the rest. Their speciality dishes are Tagliatelle al ragù di mare, Gnocchetti al filetto di sogliola, Seppia alla piastra and Spaghetti allo scoglio.
Fior d'Elisa (also called "da Silvana"): The yummiest ice creams!
Sarita76 Says: The shop is really small but the ice cream they sell is great! In summer, don't forget to stop for a big ice-cream cup. Just take a seat outside under the yellow umbrellas, relax and eat those delicacies... My favourite ice cream??? Oops, I don't think I have one... I like...

The best way to go somewhere around Massa is riding a bike. In Marina di Massa there's a brand new cycling path which makes your rides much safer than before!!! :)

Sarita76 Says: Cultural guidance??? :)) Mmmm, it's just that I have at least a cat or a dog for every location here on VT... So, let me introduce this cute cat from Marina di Massa :) Meeeoooow!
Sarita76 Says: I've seen these sand sculptures a lot of times but I thought this one on the beach of Marina di Massa was very enchanting because of the nightscene and the lights all around it!

Favorite thing: I like looking at the landscape! This is one of the views from the Malaspina castle and you can see a big part of the center of Massa, with the mountains on the back.

Marina di Massa (Massa Carrara)
Well, I've heard it gets to be a crowded touristy spot and the Lonely Planet recommends not to go there but in early May when I was there it was nearly deserted and warm enough for swimming, handy to...
The fort is a big one and would probably be a nice tour. It was not open when we were there. The views of the surrounding areas are good
A run we used to take took us to Massa , and we liked to sit by the bridge as the water beneath was an unusual milky blue because of the limestone in the water coming down from the mountains. It was...
