Description
Marina di Massa-Ronchi-Versilia- In the heart of the renowned Versilia coast, just a few steps from the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, stands an elegant period residence now converted into an exclusive hospitality venue. This sumptuous property, located in Marina di Massa, embodies the perfect blend of historic elegance and modern comfort. Surrounded by a park of over 5,500 square meters, it features an 18th-century noble villa, meticulously restored, with an interior area of approximately 2,500 square meters.
Originally built as a hunting lodge, the villa once belonged to the noble Sforza family, one of the most influential dynasties of Renaissance Italy. Its location along the ancient Via del Sale — a trade route connecting the Apuan coast to the Emilian hinterland — gave the estate strategic importance. Over time, it hosted prominent figures such as Maria Beatrice of Bourbon-Austria, the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, and the sculptor Roberto Micheloni.
The residence retains its original charm: century-old beamed ceilings, hand-carved cipollino Apuan marble steps, ancient sundials with Latin inscriptions, and symmetrical architecture reflecting the balance typical of Tuscan villas. The annex, once used as a stable, still preserves its historical arches and blends harmoniously into the landscape.
The 28 rooms, finely furnished in classic style, offer a timeless atmosphere of peace and refinement. Every space is carefully curated, honoring local traditions while ensuring all the modern comforts expected of a high-end establishment.
The garden, extending up to 7,000 square meters, is a true green oasis enriched with maritime pines, holm oaks, and historic features, such as two ancient wells — one in 18th-century Carrara marble, the other in brick, dating back to the Middle Ages. At the heart of this verdant area lies a panoramic swimming pool measuring 21 by 8 meters, perfect for relaxing moments, surrounded by pergolas and gazebos that create welcoming and private corners.
A large private parking area with space for up to 30 cars completes the property.
The villa’s strategic location allows easy access to some of Tuscany's most important art cities — from Lucca and Pisa to Florence — making it an ideal destination for international guests seeking beauty, culture, and tranquility.
This extraordinary property, now operating as a hotel, presents a rare opportunity for those wishing to invest in a prestigious asset with a fascinating history, nestled between sea, art, and nature.
