This long stretch of sand called Versilia offers a wealth of ideas, temptations and inspiration.A trail of towns hallowed by decades of legendary guests. All these places have lots in common: ever green countryside, cool even in August, the seaside with shallow sea to suit all ages, the colourful bathing areas, bars and meeting places; but Versilia is also full of individual touches. Forte dei Marmi has a more fashionable outlook. Life here means high society and shopping, relaxation and a stroll in the centre, sunbathing on the beach and diving into the nightlife. Viareggio is famous, and quite another kettle of fish. Viareggio and its famous Carnival, looking in the shop windows, the liberty-style buildings, the elegant cafés, waiting year after year for the start of the summer and the emotion to be here again. In Pietrasanta you breathe an air of culture and intellect - sculptors and their pupils chat in the cafés and there are works of art scattered in all corners. There are so many different types of beauty. It is a world in its own, with its own pace of life and unchangeable habits, where you have the pleasure of meeting old friends again, while at the same time making new ones. There is always the expectation that the next year will be the same and yet in some way different. All this is the charm of Versilia.
