A boutique hideaway and art retreat drenched in the colours and flavours of coastal Tuscany
Chic Forte dei Marmi is renowned for attracting everyone from style-savvy beach cabana-seekers to artists to the Tuscan coast. And La Serena Hotel Forte dei Marmi is a canvas capturing the essence of a laid-back Italian getaway. This boutique hideaway is a feast for the eyes, with its exterior that contrasts cool, white stone and warm terracotta hues against the lush green of the surrounding gardens. Step inside and you’ll find plenty to delight your other senses, too.
Rooms at La Serena Hotel are light and airy residences, courtesy of the fine marble accents, and open out onto balconies with views of the Apuan Alps. While downstairs, comfortable chairs set beside the windows are made for whiling away the hours with a good book or conversation, while children weave their way in and out of a hotel that has family at its heart. Lose yourself in the gardens and find your favourite spot: will it be a sun-dappled terrace, poolside lounger or among the vibrant greenery? As you explore, take in sculptures and paintings – some produced as part of the hotel’s residency programme, which welcomes up-and-coming international artists.

Go chasing your own muse along the Versilian coastline, with the hotel arranging every detail of bespoke tours, right down to beach bags and bicycles. Or venture to Lucca, Pietra Santa and Carrara, the source of the stone used by the great Renaissance sculptors – and today, by the world’s finest artists. Spend time among the old and new masters in the Cradle of the Renaissance, Florence, and trace the rich riserva legacy of Chianti. If you’re inspired by culinary artistry, the menus at La Serena Hotel are sure to delight. Slip into a languid Italian pace with breakfast served until midday. Then savour contemporary takes on regional dishes made from the freshest local produce, accompanied by a Tuscan red from the wine cellar each evening. Each day here is a masterpiece, no mistake.
