La Serena Hotel Forte Dei Marmi

La Serena Hotel is an independent five-star boutique property in Forte dei Marmi, set on Tuscany’s Versilian coast near the beach, pine woods and the town’s boutiques and galleries. Its intimate scale—21 rooms and suites—gives the hotel the feel of a well-run private villa rather than a conventional resort. Interiors combine contemporary Italian design, natural materials and Carrara marble, while terraces and garden outlooks bring the coastal setting into the accommodation. The Mediterranean garden centres on a minimalist outdoor pool, with complimentary bicycles available for exploring the seafront and surrounding streets. Dining is centred on Lumarea Bistrot & Bar, where Tuscan and Mediterranean flavours meet a wine cellar of more than 2,000 bottles. Contemporary art and an artist-residency programme add a cultural layer to the otherwise relaxed, residential atmosphere.
