Hotel Excelsior  

On Italy’s Apuan coast in Marina di Massa—between Versilia and the Cinque Terre with the Alpi Apuane as a dramatic backdrop. A short drive brings you to Forte dei Marmi and Massa beaches, while Viareggio and Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli are within easy reach.

A recently renovated 4-star beach hotel with about 60 contemporary, non-smoking rooms featuring minibars, rainfall showers and in-room essentials like hairdryers. The vibe is modern and coastal—think rooftop dining with sweeping sea views, a garden pool beside the American Bar, and a summer partnership with a local beach club.

Private beach access, a seasonal outdoor pool plus a garden pool with poolside bar, rooftop bar and lounge, bicycle rentals and concierge-led tours for easy exploration. Add spa and fitness facilities, airport shuttle service, on-site and off-site parking, and pet-friendly rooms for flexible stays.

Meeting and conference facilities, a computer station and meeting/presentation rooms are available, with complimentary wired and wireless internet across the property.

Two on-site restaurants, including rooftop Il Sestante with panoramic Apuan coast views and a menu by Chef Franco Manfredi, plus acclaimed sushi by Chef Megumi. Buffet breakfast with sea views is served daily and limited-hour room service is offered.
