testimonials

“This hotel in the heart of Forte dei Marmi, is a treasure! Stunning rooms, excellent food and bar service as well as caring staff makes this a standout. My small group enjoyed a delicious dinner and several wonderful breakfasts with many choices for every palate. Of note, when I needed more space to transport my acquired collection of shopping items, Ambra contacted a colleague and had a new suitcase delivered to my room in preparation for packing. Although this is par for the course in a fine hotel, it was really above and beyond service. I'm so grateful for this attention to detail.”
