Hotel Locanda l'Elisa is ideally located to visit Forte dei Marmi, a nice town just 35 km from Lucca.

Forte dei Marmi is a small but popular seaside resort in Versilia, situated between Viareggio and Marina di Massa, in the province of Lucca.

It 's a place loved by Italians and foreigners alike because of its wide sandy beaches, numerous shopping boutiques, art galleries and night life.

Forte dei Marmi takes its name from a fort that can be admired in the main square, built in 1788 by Granduca Leopold I as a garrison to protect the booming marble market from the Apuan Alps, about twenty km from the coast.

In the early twentieth century many nobles, intellectuals and artists chose Forte dei Marmi as their summer residence and built beautiful villas that still contribute to the discreet charm of the city, also thanks to their extensive gardens filled with greenery.

Forte dei Marmi is also known for its rich tourist offer, especially during the warm season, with luxurious hotels and accommodations dedicated to a “top-notch” tourism.
