The villa, considering its proximity to the sea, is the ideal place to spend the summer holidays but is also an excellent base during the winter to visit the many neighboring cities and immerse yourself in the social life offered by Versilia. The Apuan Alps towering behind the villa offers to hiker, and mountain bike lovers a wide choice of panoramic trails.

Very well-known in Italy, this small town is famous throughout the world. Forte dei Marmi is probably the most fashionable and luxurious destination to spend a holiday. Despite its reputation, the town attracts tourists from around the world, the small size of “Forte”, as it is called by inhabitants, means that the town does not lose its air of romance. Just take a stroll along the pier to experience it at its best. The Versilia coast's diverse geographic nature gave rise to vastly different types of fortresses and military constructions. The coastal towers are flanked by castles and fortresses. The Torre Matilde in Viareggio, the Motrone fort in Forte dei Marmi, the Sala fortress and the Florentine fortress in Pietrasanta belong to the first group. The surrounding hillsides boast castles such as Camaiore and Massarosa. If the medieval coastal towers were used as lookout towers to signal pirate ships, the 18th c. forts were primarily used for customs purposes. A typical example of this type of fort is the one Forte dei Marmi. The castles in the surrounding hills were more complex as they had to function both as defensive structures and homes. None were built above 400 m as this was the maximum altitude to cultivate olives and grapes, essential for the populations. They were small self sufficient communities who gathered within the castle walls to protect themselves from enemy attacks. The various fortified villages in Camaiore are worth a visit.

Pietrasanta is home to one of the most famous summer festivals in Italy, the Versiliana. Held in the park where the eccentric poet Gabriele D'Annunzio lived comes to life every summer with a busy calendar of events. Every afternoon in the Caffè Versiliana are discussions and meetings with important political figures who speak on entertainment and current events.
