The turnkey stay
Stepping out of La Capannina di Franceschi, Versilia's nocturnal institution since 1929, the night carries on amid the most refined setting on the Tuscan coast: pine groves, Belle Époque villas and fine-sand beaches facing the Apuan Alps. Nights in a beachfront palace hotel, Michelin-starred seafood lunches, lazing in a private cabana at the Bocelli family's beach and an escapade through the marble quarries that gave Forte dei Marmi its name. Italian elegance, from the last cocktail at dawn to the first plunge into the sea.
