Why Stop in Forte dei Marmi
Italy's Most Exclusive Beach Resort
Forte dei Marmi is unlike any other resort on the Italian coast. For over a century it has been the summer destination of choice for Milan's industrialists, Rome's intellectuals and Europe's old money — a discreet, immaculately maintained town where the pine forests meet the sea and the Apuan Alps rise white on the horizon. The name comes from the marble fortress built here in 1788 to store the Carrara marble blocks before they were shipped across the Mediterranean.
Today Forte dei Marmi is defined by its long sandy beach, its luxury lidos and its extraordinary concentration of designer boutiques along Via Carducci and the central piazza. Gucci, Prada, Versace and dozens of independent Italian ateliers sit side by side with excellent restaurants and historic cafés. In summer the town fills with the kind of quiet, understated elegance that is increasingly rare on the Italian Riviera.
Forte dei Marmi sits naturally on the route between Pisa Airport and the Ligurian Riviera, and just 40 minutes from Montecatini Terme. A stop here — for lunch on the beach, a walk through the centre or simply an hour in one of the most beautiful resort towns in Europe — makes any transfer into something worth remembering.
