Hotel St. Mauritius Forte Dei Marmi

A holiday at the 4-star St.Mauritius hotel at Forte dei Marmi is a holiday with no hurry, following your own pace and suited to your own needs. A holiday without a care, from a dip in the pool n an oasis of green and a wellness treatment at the spa, to a bike ride along the sea and an afternoon of boutique shopping in town.

What a treat to wake up each morning in the silence of the Imperial Roman gardens, just a few minutes away from the Fortress and an apertif or sunbathe on the beach! This is what awaits you at the St.Mauritius Hotel – this is the Dolce Vita of Forte dei Marmi.

LOCATION
The 4-star St.Mauritius hotel is in the ideal location for enjoying all the peace of a relaxing holiday, without foregoing the benefits of the sea as well as the nightlife of Forte dei Marmi.

The hotel is situated at the beginning of the town’s exclusive green area, Roma Imperiale, and from here you can reach the fortress or the beach in just 10 minutes. If you fancy a stroll, you can walk under the shade of the pine trees of the town.

Or if you’d rather cycle, you can make use of the bike park at the St.Mauritius hotel and the many bike paths from the hotel to the town centre which stretch along the seafront.

ROOMS
At the 4-star St.Mauritius hotel at Forte dei Marmi, your relaxation starts in your room. The silence, the Imperial Roman gardens outside your balcony, the warm atmosphere and roomy beds that envelop you with a memory-foam mattress and soft sheets are all you need to make you feel like doing nothing and relaxing.

A refreshing break to help you forget the sultry heat of summer and enjoy a holiday where you can truly switch off and recharge.

SIGNATURE SUITE
The Signature Suite is the perfect retreat for the more demanding traveler, of those in search of maximum beauty and pleasure on vacation. From the main bedroom a large balcony looks over the peaks of the spectacular Apuan Alps. Enjoy nature’s show while you lie on the “California” king-sized bed.

Returning from the beach or before your tasty breakfast, take a moment in the wellness area and the bath and large shower. The cozy lounge area, which can turn into two beds, is just the spot for some romance or just a chat with friends. To ensure full privacy, the facilities are separate from the wellness area, as well as an additional bathroom.

APUANIA SUITE
The Apuania Suite, on the top storey of our 4-star hotel, combines comfort and space with an amazing panorama. The bedroom, with a “California” king-size bed, and wellness area (including a free-standing bathtub and large shower) make up a harmonious open space where you can enjoy your vacation with those you love.

If you’d rather relax or enjoy a good book with a glass of wine, chill out in the lounge, a little haven of peace, leading to three balconies with views, the main one offering a breathtaking vista of the white marble peaks of the Apuan Alps.

TERRACE SUITE
The Terrace Suite is much more than a room: it’s an elegant suite on the top storey of our 4-star hotel, characterized by a beautiful terrace that looks over both the deep blue of the pool and the little stream, (Fiumetto) that runs alongside the hotel. The mighty marble peaks of the nearby Apuan Alps loom in the background. The suite extends over two bedrooms, each elegantly furnished.

Every space is a microcosm of tranquility: the comfortable bed with memory foam pillows in the master bedroom, the handy sofa in the lounge that can convert into two beds, the two bathrooms where you’ll find some comfy bathrobes. But the real wonder awaits you on the 24 sqm, furnished terrace: an idyllic spot looking over our own lovely Versilia.

DINING
The chef and his team at the Restaurant of the St.Mauritius hotel are more than just cooks: they’re explorers, inventors, artists. Each day they choose very carefully from the prime ingredients available from the area – the best quality meat, freshest fish, zero-miles fruit and vegetables – and they transform these into the most exquisite and tasty dishes.

Their recipes and methods follow traditional Tuscan cuisine, but the creativity and superb presentation will surprise you every time. Dinner is served in our elegant new dining room, and during warmer months you can also enjoy an al fresco dinner on the hotel terrace.

THE BAR
A cool drink in the sun on our terrace, a sip from a glass of champagne by the pool. At our new and restyled bar you’ll find our bartenders are always ready to mix up a cocktail or apertif, natural fruit juice as well as tempting snacks or a cup of gelato.

THE BREAKFAST
At the St.Mauritius hotel we know that breakfast is the most delicate moment of the day. You’ve just woken up, your eyes are still opening and getting used to the light of the day.

Breakfast is really a key rite of passage: we know that only if it’s prepared with love and served with care will your eyes open fully to embrace the beautiful day. And so you’ll find our buffet offering something for you every morning and served in the large dining room or on the terrace, amid the scented pines and peaceful garden.

Warm cakes, biscuits, fresh homemade pancakes, bread and toast with jams and zero-miles organic honey, sweet and savoury pastries, cheeses, hams and salamis, free-range eggs, bacon, hot dogs, cereals, yoghurts, tomatoes, salads and fresh seasonal fruit, as well as gluten-free items for coeliacs.

All served up with a nice hot coffee or cappuccino, warm milk, soy milk, hot chocolate, tea, fruit juice or water. For a wake-up fit for a king.

FORTE DEI MARMI
Forte dei Marmi is one of the most sought-after and exclusive resorts in Italy. From the early twentieth-century, the town has been the retreat of choice for celebrities and footballers, society figures and intellectuals, artists, painters, poets, from Milan, Florence and abroad.

Well-known visitors to Forte dei Marmi have included the Agnelli and Moratti families, Gabriele D’Annunzio and Guglielmo Marconi, sculptor Henry Moore and film-maker Luchino Visconti.

Forte dei Marmi often sets the fashion, breaks it, remembers the glorious 60s and plays host to the Versiliana festival. Night spots like the Capannina di Franceschi have played host to many famous Italian singers while the boutique shopping is second to none.

From the Fortress you can head out over the water, along the graceful pier, feel the intense perfume of the sea, and look back to the spectacular peaks of the Apuan Alps.

Even today, after so much history, Forte dei Marmi remains a point of reference for those wanting a relaxing holiday while enjoying quality nightlife, kept busy throughout the year from top-class restaurants, nightclubs and fashionable cafes.

HISTORY, ART & FUN
Enjoying a holiday in the area of Versilia is not just about beaches and relaxation, it is also the chance to discover a land full of surprises, history and art. If you love trips and hikes, you can head inland and find medieval villages and churches as beautiful as any in Italy. Or treat yourself to a day among the boutiques and art galleries of the intriguing town of Pietrasanta.

APUAN ALPS
Standing tall behind Forte dei Marmi are the majestic Apuan Alps, famous for the white marble they have given up to some of the most famous artworks in the world, like the Pantheon of Rome and Michelangelo’s Pietà.

The great writer Fosco Maraini loved to depict them in this way: “An unusual show, which brought to my mind, I know not why, the creation of the world: a world still-plastic, shaping itself from a boundless vacuum, the colour of fire.”

The regional park of the Apuan Alps, which recently became part of the global network of UNESCO GeoParks, is noted for its variety of landscapes and unique environments, a treasure trove of natural beauty that begs constant admiration.

The stunning scenery was formed by its fossils and minerals, but most of all by its precious marble. Hiking, mountain climbing, horse riding, biking: whatever way you choose to explore the Apuan Alps, you won’t be disappointed.

VERSILIANA PARK
The park of Versilia takes its name from the villa of the same name which lies inside it and which was built at the end of the 19th century and famous for hosting the poet Gabriele d’Annunzio. The afternoons and soirees he enjoyed there are continued, to a fashion, today.

D’Annunzio and his literary friends would wander through the pine-shaded park planning on the creation of an open-air theatre to host his own works and the great works of literature.

The park covers almost a million square metres and is today owned by the city. In this vast pine forest, in remembrance of D’Annunzio, a cultural festival takes place every summer featuring ballet, literature, music, cinema and cabaret. But it is also beloved by walkers, families and those on horseback who all enjoy the shaded, historic atmosphere.

MARINA DI PIETRASANTA
The coastline of Pietrasanta extends for almost 5 km. A must-visit is the beautiful Versiliana Park where the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio lived, and where you can walk, ride a horse or a bike immersed in the pleasantly-shaded boulevards.

Each summer the Versiliana Festival offers afternoon sessions and events (book talks, cultural debates) and entertainment programmes for children, with free games and reading sessions. Marina di Pietrasanta includes over 100 private beach areas, which are ideal for families.

PIETRASANTA
It’s impossible to be bored in Pietrasanta, there’s always something to see or do: fairs, markets, events and shows, theatre, exhibitions and cultural events. The great Italian poet Giosuè Carducci, came from these parts and often praised the local people and their ways in his works.

Above Pietrasanta lies the Rocca di Sala, an ancient Ghibelline fortress dating back to the Lombards. In Pietrasanta itself you can visit the Rocchetta Arrighina, built by Castruccio Castacani in the 14th century for his son Arrigo.

Charming and original boutiques dot the centre of town offering clothes, accessories and interior design, next to beautiful contemporary art galleries representing the artistic vibrancy of the area.

VIAREGGIO
Elegant and refined, Viareggio alternates between a lively and colourful landscape in summer and a winter of superb sunsets and tranquillity. Its promenade, dotted with original art nouveau buildings, is lined with fashion boutiques, cafes, clubs, ice-cream shops and restaurants, to suit both a romantic night out or a family evening.

Don’t miss the world-famous yearly Carnival whose parade and festival rival Rio for their costumes, and topical floats offering an unforgettable experience for young and old.

GARFAGNANA
Just an hour’s drive from Forte dei Marmi is the Garfagnana region, an area known for its unspoilt nature and tiny villages just waiting to be discovered. Its history dominated first by the Malaspina and then the Este dynasties, you can trace the heritage of castles, fortresses and old churches.

The Garfagnana is a magical place, known as the “green island” of Tuscany thanks to its lush greenery. A proud and little-discovered area, it boasts some incredible geological features, like the Botri Ravine, the Canyon of Tuscany created by water flowing through this narrow gorge.

Or the Grotta del Vento which features stalactites and stalagmites, polychrome flows, crystal-brimmed lakes, underground streams and strange eroded forms.
