Monti di Luna, Elegant and Comfortable Villa

Villa Monti di Luna combines classic Tuscan seaside architecture with private gardens, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach in the exclusive enclave of Forte dei Marmi — part of a small collection of villas from the same owner across Italy’s most beautiful regions. From here it’s a short drive to the Apuan Alps for hiking with spectacular coastal views, or to Lucca and Pisa, home of the famous leaning tower. Forte dei Marmi itself is easy to explore by bicycle, with restaurants and cafés lining the beach, a well-known weekly market, and tennis courts just steps from the villa. Fully renovated a few years ago, the villa is bright and colorful, equally suited to summer days outdoors or a mild winter spent touring the Versilia coast. Outside, lush lawns, patios, and terraces face the mountains, with a main patio set up for al fresco dining or a sunset aperitif among chic outdoor furnishings. Inside, the villa comfortably sleeps six across three bedrooms and three bathrooms: a bright, spacious ground-floor living room opens onto an open-plan kitchen with oversized sofas for easy conversation, two bedrooms and bathrooms sit on the first floor sharing a wide terrace with Apuan Alps views, and the third bedroom is on the ground floor with direct garden access. Every room leans into cheerful, bright color schemes, and the three bathrooms (one en suite) are finished in tasteful tones of azure and grey.
