California Park Hotel

Tucked away in the heart of Versilia, just 300 metres from the shoreline and enveloped by lush, sprawling gardens, California Park presents generously sized accommodations with refined touches. It’s a relaxed 10-minute amble to the centre of Forte dei Marmi.

Each room at the California comes with its own private balcony, looking out over either the greenery or the shimmering pool area. Inside, you’ll find climate control, complimentary Wi-Fi, and satellite channels through Sky TV.

When it comes to dining, the in-house restaurant serves up authentic Tuscan dishes, while mornings kick off with a hearty breakfast buffet offering plenty of variety.

Beyond the comforts of your room, there’s an outdoor pool and a soothing hot tub to unwind in, plus a well-equipped fitness corner stocked with Technogym gear.

The drive to Lucca will take you around 30 minutes, and Viareggio is a short 20-kilometre hop away.

It’s especially popular among couples, who’ve given the spot an impressive 9.4 rating for two-person getaways.
