Hotel Byron

Today, it is a sophisticated 5-star luxury Hotel located in the greenest and most exclusive part of Forte dei Marmi, on the seafront in Versilia. Opened in June 1990 after extensive refurbishment, the hotel arose from the unification of two Art Nouveau-style villas, the larger and older of which was commissioned by the Dukes Canevaro di Zoagli between 1899 and 1902.

A favourite haunt of the aristocracy that gravitated around the House of Savoy, the villas were later converted into a hotel, keeping their original characteristics. The stylish interior furnishings were meticulously chosen by the owners.

There is a welcoming atmosphere, large, bright communal areas, and Art Nouveau finishing touches throughout: green and yellow stained glass panels, floral chandeliers, and bow windows. Accessories and fabrics of more contemporary tastes are also found in the rooms.

Hotel Byron oozes cosmopolitan charm and expresses an unconventional spirit, as it always has done; it is a cosy bolthole, dedicated to family holidays, and perfect for surrounding yourself with friends and lovers of le beau monde.
