Grand Hotel & Riviera Camaiore

Versilia at its greenest, crowned in the background by the Apuan Alps, the medieval city of Lucca nearby. Lido di Camaiore is all this, and much more. The 4-star Grand Hotel & Riviera has an exceptional seafront location and all the comforts of spacious rooms and services that are worthy of the best hospitality in Versilia.

The hotel exudes impeccable style and long-standing tradition, in the town that was chosen by Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio for his romantic trysts. The 4-star Grand Hotel & Riviera lies along the main promenade of Lido di Camaiore, right in front of the striking pier that stretches into the water. The town is part of the largest municipality in Versilia.

From your room you can take in amazing views over the blue water, enjoy the lull of the waves, breathe in the salt air. At sunset the sight of the sun blushing down into the sea is nothing short of amazing.

The verdant Apuan Alps form a scenic backdrop, tempting us with their coolness. Just a few steps from us is the bustle of the town, and you can easily reach the centre with a relaxing stroll.

ROOMS & SUITES
The recently-renovated rooms at the Grand Hotel & Riviera combine all the allure of a 4-star hotel with the bohemian style of Versilia’s own Dolce Vita. Spacious rooms, refined decor in cream, beige and ochre, with green and blue finishes: this is where you can completely relax. Thanks to the central, but sheltered location the only sound you’ll hear is the calming lull of the waves.

SUPERIOR ROOM
The Superior Rooms of our 4-star hotel offer nothing less than “relaxation at first sight”. Suffused with a harmonious blend of deep sea tones and nuances of golden sand, the modern, marine-style décor fits perfectly with the speckled marbled of the double bathroom. Fill your eyes with blue from the lovely balcony which has a partial view over the sea or pool. And the heart of Versilia.

TRIPLE ROOM
The triple rooms at the Grand Hotel & Riviera are proof that three is the magic number. Every room is a perfect balance of spaces, with the sofa bed as comfortable as the double bed and it’s furnished to perfection with refined details and delicate colours. The side view of the sea offers hints of Versilia.

RESTAURANT & BAR
The restaurant of the Grand Hotel & Riviera combines the genuine taste of the best cuts of Italian meat with the sparkling flavour of our seas. Heading up the creative team is a tireless lover of perfection in every taste: chef Leonardo Tettamanzi. A perfectionist of taste and sight, the final dish is his trump card.

Every day, you can lunch on light and tasty offerings, adapted to the seasons of the sea. In the evening, compose your dinner from our à la carte menu or from the daily specials, with delectable starters, delicious mains and a rich dessert buffet.

TOUR & TRIPS
A holiday in Versilia means pleasant days on the beach, laying in the sun or wandering the seafront of Lido di Camaiore. This might be the scene you imagine, but it doesn’t have to end there: you can take hikes in the heart of nature, discover some exciting art or luxury shopping in designer boutiques. Lose your way in the thick woods of the Garfagnana, at the top of the alpine peaks or in some of the most charming villages in Italy.

GARFAGNANA
The real lungs of Tuscany, the region of Garfagnana combines villages impervious to time with dense forests of untouched nature. Enchanting castles, medieval fortresses and ancient churches dot the endless green acres in a mosaic that calls out to be explored.

The area of Garfagnana holds endless breath-taking surprises, with landscapes you might not expect to find in Tuscany. Like the Botri Ravine which has all the features of a canyon, dug out by the torrents that flow through the narrow gorge. Or the Grotta del Vento, inlaid with stalactites and stalagmites, lakes with crystallized waters and small underground streams.

THE APUAN ALPS
The Apuan Alps are silhouetted by the silent guardians of the Versilia valley: the remarkable peaks give the landscape brushstrokes of ineffable beauty. From antiquity, art has been written in the destiny of these giants with their white marble walls.

The noble marble which gave itself up to form some of the greatest masterpieces in the world came from here, like the Pantheon in Rome and the sublime Pietà by Michelangelo.

To fully immerse yourself in Tuscan nature, stroll through the Regional Park of the Apuan Alps, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of surprising landscapes. Fossils, minerals, rocks and marbles are set into the brilliant mountain vegetation: this is a show as rare as it is precious.

FORTE DEI MARMI
Forte dei Marmi stands out for the sense of exclusivitythat pervades it, from the streets embellished by elegant boutiques, to the bohemian cafes of the town centre, to the very essence of the sea which permeates down from the Fort.

This Fort has always had a privileged connection with thinkers, footballers and celebrities who, as early as the twentieth century, considered it a safe haven to escape the humdrum.

In Forte dei Marmi many cultures met, fashionsand trends were born, the philosophy of “the good life” found a natural reason for being. Spend a day at the Fort: breathe in the sophisticated allure, walk along the pier on the mesmerizing sea, and give in to the most exclusive nightlife when the sun goes down.

MARINA DI PIETRASANTA
Marina di Pietrasanta is synonymous with relaxing and doing “sweet nothing”. That could be because of the over 100 serviced areas along 5km of beachesas well as the refreshingly cool Parco della Versilianathat is spread across thick shaded avenues.

The equipped facilities are the kingdom of families and couples who want nothing more than to bask in the sun, the park is a green oasis in which to walk, get lost in the pages of a book or pedal away the day. For a dip into culture, check out some events at the La Versiliana Festival, which includes debates, book presentations and philosophical discussions.

VIAREGGIO
Viareggio is certainly the most aristocratic town in Versilia: cascades of fashion boutiques, elegant cafés and Art Nouveau architecture embellish its centre. The well-kept beachesand romantic atmosphere make it one of the most popular seaside resorts in Tuscany.

In the evening, when heels replace flip-flops, Viareggio changes its look: glamorous aperitifs, high-class restaurants and exclusive clubs are the perfect spots for high-flying summer nights. Not to mention the most anticipated event of the year: the colourful Carnival, with an extravagant parade of allegorical floats that reflect current events and politics.

LIDO DI CAMAIORE
Lido di Camaiore has a charm all of its own and interesting but harmonious contrasts. On one side of this Versilian town there’s the immense sea, marked by 4 km of white, soft beaches, and on the other there are the gentle hills with fresh expanses of grass.

Behind, the majestic Apuan Alps with their familiar, homely atmosphere, feeling like a mountain resort. This was the landscape, so rare and precious, that fascinated Italian writer Gabriele D’Annunzio, when he chose Lido di Camaiore as his love nest for escapes with his mistress, the actress Eleonora Duse.

In between afternoons on the beach and trips into the hills, take a stroll in the centre of Lido di Camaiore and immerse yourself in Versilia’s very own Dolce Vita.
