Description Four Floors of Bliss: Forte dei Marmi

With views of the Apuan Alps in the distance, the only thing you’d need to worry about at this home is how little time you’d want to spend inside. Sip an espresso on one of the balconies at sunrise and watch the light spill over the horizon, or come together under the covered patio with generous bowls of pasta. Although this home’s biggest attraction definitely lies in its connection to nature, there is plenty to be desired inside too. The space is generous, rustic and comfortable, and offers everyone a nook to use in whatever way they see fit.

If you can manage to leave the quiet of this villa behind, you’ll find plenty around. Lucca and Pisa are both reachable by car if you’re looking for the perfect group photo opportunities. Closer to home you’ll find a castle, plenty of restaurants, and with a Louis Vuitton store a nineteen-minute stroll away, there’s always an excuse to shop.
