Hotel Byron
Intimate aristocratic villa meets contemporary design. The pace is dolce far niente: slow mornings at the beach, lunch by the pool, aperitivo as the sun drops. Not a grand resort — more like staying in a beautifully run private home where the owner happens to have a Michelin-starred kitchen.
Book the chef's table at La Magnolia well in advance — the Michelin guide says it's essential and availability is tight
Why It Matters
One of the oldest and most storied properties in Versilia, built in 1879 as the first villa in Forte dei Marmi. Holds 1 Michelin star at its restaurant La Magnolia. Member of SLH, Virtuoso, Signature, and Serendipians. Hosts rotating contemporary art exhibitions in its on-site Project Room.
Hotel Byron is a 5-star luxury villa hotel in the heart of Forte dei Marmi, split across two distinct wings: the historic Villa with its aristocratic pool terrace and the contemporary Sasso, whose facade is clad in marble from the nearby Apuan Alps. The property has 47 rooms and suites, a Michelin-starred restaurant, a poolside trattoria, and a private garden that faces the sea. Forte dei Marmi is often called the Hamptons of Italy — quiet, moneyed, and effortlessly stylish — and the Byron captures that energy perfectly.
