Versilia Golf Resort
Presents Tuscan golf in a more coastal
Versilia Golf Resort presents Tuscan golf in a more coastal, relaxed and contemporary tone than the region's best-known inland classics. The course unfolds across tidy terrain close to the sea, where the apparent simplicity of the landscape gradually gives way to a more disciplined test, particularly in the management of wind and the reading of greens. The resort layer adds the lifestyle component that makes the destination attractive to high-end leisure travellers: rooms, clubhouse comfort, nearby beaches, Forte dei Marmi within easy reach and an overall feeling of a well-composed holiday. It may not be the most famous golf address in Tuscany, yet that is also part of its appeal. The luxury here is less performative and easier to enjoy. It is especially well suited to couples, longer weekends and trips where golf is meant to sit naturally alongside the sea, good restaurants and the social energy of Versilia.
Sceglilo se vuoi alternare davvero golf e costa: in Versilia il valore non è solo sul percorso, ma nel modo in cui il round si inserisce nella giornata.
Excellent balance between golf, sea and Versilian lifestyle
Nice resort and well-positioned for a leisure weekend
Less iconic on a technical level compared to the top Tuscan clubs in the interior

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Fonderia Versiliese: Bronzo dall'Alba
Pietrasanta is the world capital of marble and bronze sculpture: Botero, Mitoraj, and Takashi Murakami have all worked here in the foundries and marble workshops. The Fonderia Versiliese, the city's oldest, accepts private visits to the dawn pours — the moment when liquid bronze at 1,200°C is poured into sand moulds.
“Master founder Riccardo Lazzarini accepts guests at 5:30 AM when the furnace reaches pouring temperature: liquid bronze projects orange shadows on the walls and you smell the sand moulds burning. Wear closed shoes with rubber soles.”
Tenuta Buonamico: Montecarlo Bianco Dimenticato
Montecarlo DOC is one of Tuscany's forgotten denominations: a blend of Trebbiano, Semillon, and Roussanne that the Lucchesi have produced for 500 years. Tenuta Buonamico at Cercatoia produces the Cercatese — the Montecarlo Bianco Riserva — with barrique ageing developing the complexity of a white Bordeaux grand cru at a tenth of the price.
“Owner Ferro Bonacossi keeps bottles of his father's 1985 Cercatese in the villa cellar: he says that white wine at 35 years has chestnut honey and white truffle notes no Trebbiano should have. He opens it only by private booking.”
Villa Roma Imperiale: la Spa della Versilia
Villa Roma Imperiale at Forte dei Marmi is Versilia's most discreet hotel: no signage, electric gate, 5,000 sq metre park. The spa, built in glass and Lasa stone, offers the Pietra e Salino ritual combining Cervia salt crystals with Apuan quartz. The indoor pool extends into the private garden with views of the Apuan Alps.
“The Notte di Luna ritual is reserved for full moon Mondays: the outdoor pool is lit only by moonlight reflected through the glass roof. Available May through September, maximum 2 guests at a time.”
Ristorante Lorenzo — Il Pescato della Versilia
For half a century, Lorenzo Viani has brought to the table whatever the Tyrrhenian Sea offers each morning: raw seafood, risotti di scoglio, and fried fish that carry the pure scent of the coast. No artifice, no imported trends — just an intimate understanding of Versilian waters that few restaurants anywhere can claim. A Michelin star earned quietly, far from fashionable noise.
“Ask about the day's raw catch before opening the menu — it's often not written anywhere.”
Cave di Fantiscritti — Il Marmo Vivo
To drive into the Fantiscritti quarry is to follow the same road Michelangelo once took when choosing blocks for his unfinished works. White walls rise sheer around you, marked by 2nd-century Roman votive bas-reliefs — silent, half-forgotten, carved into the same marble that would later fill Europe's cathedrals. This is not a museum: it is an open white wound in the mountain, still breathing.
“Go early morning before the quarry trucks arrive — the raking light makes the grey veins in the marble shine like silk.”
Museo dei Bozzetti — L'Atlante dei Sogni in Gesso
In the former convent of Sant'Agostino, over fifteen hundred maquettes donated by sculptors from across the globe form a quiet atlas of form conceived before it becomes stone. It is not a museum in the ordinary sense — it is where ideas still live in their unfinished innocence. Each room tells a dialogue between hands and material that Pietrasanta understands better than anywhere else on earth.
“Go upstairs to where the lesser-known maquettes reveal second thoughts — that is where you understand that even the great ones reconsider, and improve by starting over.”
Lago di Massaciuccoli — Il Silenzio degli Aironi
A few kilometres from the coastal noise, this shallow, ancient lake opens like a parenthesis outside of time: dense reedbeds, grey herons motionless in the water, and in the distance the outline of the Apuane closing the horizon. This was where Puccini composed in a boat at dusk, and that quality of air — still, layered with natural sound — has remained intact. The WWF oasis runs canoe excursions through the reeds in the early morning hours.
“Book the canoe for seven in the morning — the low mist on the water and the dawn bird chorus are worth the early alarm far more than any guided tour.”
