Hotel Byron Forte dei Marmi brings two distinct versions of the Italian seaside villa together around a garden. The original Villa has the decorative character of a historic residence; the Sasso wing looks toward the Apuan Alps through a more contemporary architectural frame. On Tuscany's Versilia coast, close to the beach, the hotel combines this residential setting with an outdoor pool and two restaurants led by Marco Bernardo.
The room is in the main villa and has a skylight window.

The private bathroom is separate from the bedroom's seating and sleeping area. Small tables stand beside the bed.

The Villa's Liberty, or Italian Art Nouveau, style recalls the aristocratic seaside houses for which Forte dei Marmi became known. It was commissioned by the Duke of Zoagli, whose residence attracted members of European high society. The name honors Lord Byron, whose travels in Tuscany included Pisa and Livorno.
Between the two wings, the garden creates a shared outdoor center. Breakfast is served on the Villa's terrace, while the bar sits beneath the Sasso portico facing the greenery. Marble from the Apuan area appears in Sasso's facade and interiors, giving the mountain backdrop a material presence inside the hotel. The change of architecture is visible as you move between these spaces, without leaving the grounds.
Accommodation ranges from Cozy Nest and Double Classic rooms to family suites and penthouses. Cozy Nest is in the main Villa and has a skylight, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower. Its light comes from above, rather than through the sea-facing windows associated with some other categories. Double Superior and Double Deluxe rooms bring Art Deco references into their colors and furnishings.
Junior Suites include a living area and an en suite bathroom. The Prestige Suite gives the bedroom and living room separate spaces, with a sofa that can become another bed. Its private balcony faces the sea, and Carrara marble lines the bathroom. These details make the category particularly useful when a couple or family wants somewhere to sit without using the bedroom. Sea, garden, and mountain outlooks vary across the wider accommodation collection.
The approximately 100-square-meter Family Suites occupy two floors overlooking the garden. A living area, bedroom, and bathroom sit downstairs, with a second bedroom and its own bathroom upstairs. Two private patios add outdoor space, while the internal stairs keep the bedrooms on separate levels. The hotel describes this layout for families or groups of four. The Apuane Suite, also around 100 square meters, takes a different direction: its private terrace looks toward the mountains and marble quarries, with wood and Botticino marble used inside.
Each penthouse measures around 150 square meters and pairs a substantial living area with a private terrace and hot tub, but their arrangements differ. In the Villa Penthouse, the living room opens toward the sea while the bedroom, with its round king-size bed, faces the garden. Art is part of the furnishing scheme, alongside the broad coastal outlook from the terrace.
The Sasso Penthouse continues the contemporary style of its wing. Pale colors and wood detailing give the interiors a nautical character, and the terrace runs around the king-bedded bedroom as well as opening from the living area. Here, the sea is part of both rooms' outlook. The penthouses' hot tubs belong to these individual accommodations; the hotel's shared swimming pool is elsewhere in the grounds.
La Magnolia is the hotel's gastronomic restaurant, with a chef's table facing the kitchen. Marco Bernardo's cooking draws on his southern Italian roots as well as the ingredients and traditions of Versilia. His experience includes kitchens at the Four Seasons George V in Paris and Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester in London. At Byron, those influences meet a coastal Tuscan setting, with a repertoire that includes both meat and fish.
Onda places lunch and dinner beside the pool when the weather permits. Its Mediterranean menu emphasizes local flavors and the day's catch. This is the hotel's more relaxed dining address, with the outdoor setting central to its character. The bar beneath the portico provides a separate setting for an aperitif.
Cooking can also become part of a stay. The hotel arranges private lessons in the restaurant kitchen with Bernardo's team, covering Italian preparations such as pasta and pizza. The lesson lasts about an hour and a half and is followed by a meal featuring the food you have prepared. It is an individual session in a working professional kitchen, with instruction intended for different levels of experience. Children's pizza-making classes are also part of the family activities.
The outdoor swimming pool is central to the hotel's summer life, with the garden and poolside restaurant around it. The beach lies close by on the Forte dei Marmi coast, where the hotel's family services can help with beach arrangements and picnics. Discuss beach services with the hotel when planning a stay, particularly when traveling with children.
Families can arrange outings to nature parks as well as time in the kitchen. Babysitting is available on request for an additional charge, allowing parents to organize an evening at the restaurant. Practical support includes laundry, ironing, and dry cleaning, all charged separately. The hotel also has an elevator and air-conditioned, non-smoking rooms. In the larger family accommodations, the combination of separate bedrooms and outdoor patios leaves space for adults and children to spend time independently.
Bicycles are available at the hotel for exploring the surrounding area. Beyond the coast, Byron can organize excursions to Pietrasanta, Lucca, Camaiore, and Pisa. The Apuan landscape opens up a different part of the region, with walking and hiking among the activities described by the hotel. Tennis and golf are available nearby rather than within the grounds. Pietrasanta's artistic connections and the mountain scenery give these excursions a link to the marble and artwork visible back at the hotel.
The address is Viale Repubblica 59 in Forte dei Marmi. Pisa's Galileo Galilei Airport is an arrival option for the hotel, with the final journey made by road. Forte dei Marmi railway station provides another route into the area, followed by a local transfer. Guests arriving by car have underground parking with charging stations available at the hotel. That practical arrangement also supports days out inland, while bicycles remain available for exploring closer to the coast.
Complimentary bicycles make short trips around Forte dei Marmi easier, giving you an alternative to taking the car for every outing.
A complimentary family photo session with a professional portrait photographer gives you a personal record of your vacation in Forte dei Marmi.
Breakfast can be served in your room, giving you a private start to the day without heading to the restaurant.
