Forte dei Marmi Secondo
Luxurious Apartment, Air-Conditioned.  Two Double Bedrooms, Two Baths, Sleeps 4


Living Room and Dining Room

Forte dei Marmi  has long been regarded as the ultimate address for italian chic.......a place to experience summer in the grand style.  This apartment is one of three in a period palazzo of the 1920s.  The building has been completely restored in 2009 with great care and attention to quality and luxurious detail.  Just 200 meters from the shore, all of this little jewel of a city is right outside the apartment's door.......the finest restaurants, world-class shopping, fine night-life, and an unlimited supply of people-watching (one of Italy's favorite pastimes).
This apartment is the second largest of the three at 110 square meters.  The entry opens into the main living area which features comfortably upholstered furniture and a dining room area which seats 6.   The new kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances including oven, stovetop, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine as well as a full complement of cooking and serving utensils.  It has a charming balcony which overlooks a wonderful piazza which is home to interesting shops and a very good cafe.

Bedroom

Bedroom
Both of the apartment's double bedrooms are light-filled and spacious with large storage armoires.  One of the bedrooms has a little balcony that overlooks the street below.
The newly renovated bathrooms are outfitted with interesting fixtures and beautiful tile work.  They both have large showers.

Beach Club with changing rooms

Beach path to the sea
Forte dei Marmi is a relatively uncrowded city and it is unique because the lifestyle there remains unchanged from its heyday of the 1960s.  Summer life is slow and centers around days at the beach, wonderful evening dinners, and a buzzing late-night cafe society scene.   It is customary to belong to a beach club where your own chairs and lounges await you every day and where you can enjoy lunch and refreshments throughout the day.  Arrangements can be made for guest membership privileges at local beach clubs.   
Most people get around by bicycle.....it's a pleasure to leave the car behind for a while.  But for those who would like to do a little exploring there is frequent train and bus service to Lucca, Florence and Pisa as well as a local autostrada exit.  Visits to Cinque Terre and the marble quarries at Carrara are also possible since both are easily accessible.
