One of the best overall places we have been and stayed in 3 weeks in Italy. The location is perfect with beach/coast and a mountainous back drop. Staff were amazing and went out of their way to assist with anything. Food also was great with lots of options. Highly reccomend.

Fantastic hotel!!
We stayed for five nights in July and absolutely loved the hotel. It’s totally refurbished and therefore feels very modern and fresh. The breakfast had everything we wished for including made to order eggs, crepes and coffee. As well as a generous buffet. The staff was very service minded, they helped out with all kinds of things and were so nice while doing so. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean hotel, close to the beach
We stayed two nights at the hotel in May. The room was nice, clean and in good condition. The pool was not open which was a bit of a disappointment for us. The area is probably very nice at the summer time, less to do probably on other times.

2 day stay in Forte dei Marmi
2 day stay in Forte dei Marmi. Check in / check out was longer that I thought. Poor breakfast. Strange interior. Parking is an advantage. The hotel price does Not relate to quality
You get. The room is Not small. Standard double room is without balcony and there is Not good view there.

I have stayed here many times over the years, but this time the overhead shower nozzle was not working; only the hand held nozzle worked.
It made it difficult for me to wash with only one hand free, with the nozzle in the other, especially since the back of the shower is open and often got the floors wet when showering.

Rent og fint hotell
Veldig fornøyd med oppholdet. Fine rom som ble holdt godt rene og sengetøyskift hver dag. Lite kjøleskap på rommet. God aircondition. Vi hadde rom med stor terrasse og sjøutsikt og det anbefales! Fin beliggenhet på strandpromenaden, nærhet til restauranter. Lite, men fint basseng på hotellet med trivelig hage og bar.

Fantastisk ophold! Virkelig pænt hotel, og virkelig flotte værelser. Personalet var enormt søde, og vores udsigt var fantastisk. Samtidig er morgenmaden super lækker!

Perfekt feriested
Supert feriested for voksne og barn/ungdom med flott beliggenhet og veldig bra service. Trippel-rommene var romslige og med bra renhold. Veldig bra frokostbuffet med matutvalg som passet hele familien, og restauranten på takterrassen hadde høy kvalitet og fantastisk utsikt. Personalet var hyggelige og profesjonelle i alle funksjoner. Kort gangvei til strand og restauranter, og nok av muligheter for underholdning i gatene i n ærheten.
Massa var også et fint utgangspunkt for utflukter til severdigheter som Cinque Terre, Pisa og Firenze.
