28 bedrooms villa, 2500 m²

Massa, Massa-Carrara (province)

Lunigiana

In Marina di Massa, in the heart of the renowned Versilia coast and just 500 meters from the sea, stands an extraordinary historic 18th century villa, now converted into a refined luxury hotel. An authentic architectural jewel nestled between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apuan Alps, which combines the charm of the past with the most exclusive comforts of contemporary hospitality.

This elegant period residence is spread over an internal area of approximately 2,500 m², surrounded by a private park of 5,500 m². The property boasts a privileged position along the ancient Via del Sale, a historic commercial artery that connected the Duchy of Massa-Carrara to the Duchy of Modena and Parma.

Originally built as a hunting lodge for the noble Sforza family, one of the most influential dynasties of Renaissance Italy, the villa has hosted illustrious figures such as Maria Beatrice of Bourbon Austria, the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio and the sculptor Roberto Micheloni over time, whose verses and memories are still engraved in the marble of the facades.

The structure, restored with great attention to detail and respect for the original architecture, preserves historical elements of great value: ceilings with centuries-old beams, hand-carved Apuan cipollino steps, ancient sundials with Latin inscriptions and an annex once used as a stable, still adorned with the original arches.

It houses 28 elegant and quiet rooms, furnished in a classic Tuscan style, where each room has been designed to offer an exclusive stay experience, immersed in an atmosphere of refined tranquility.

The garden is a true green oasis, full of holm oaks and maritime pines, with two historic wells: one in white Carrara marble from the eighteenth century and a domed brick one dating back to the year 1000. To complete the park, a 21x8 meter panoramic swimming pool, flanked by pergolas, gazebos and shaded corners perfect for moments of relaxation.

A large private car park with 30 parking spaces guarantees comfort and privacy for guests.
Thanks to its strategic position, the villa allows you to easily reach the main art cities of Tuscany – from Pisa to Lucca, up to Florence – making it an ideal point of reference for an international clientele looking for culture, beauty and tranquility.

Located along the Apuan coast and belonging to the municipality of Massa, Ronchi is a renowned seaside resort included in the urban area of Marina di Massa, bordering to the north with the center of Marina di Massa and to the south with Poveromo.
Characterized by pine forests, elegant residences, hotels and high-end bathing establishments, this area attracts inevitable comparisons with nearby Versilia, between sobriety and refinement.
