In a residential quarter of Forte dei Marmi, Villa Roma Imperiale sits behind hedges and mature trees a short walk from the beach. The intimate house combines pale walls, patterned textiles, Italian furniture and collected artworks, with rooms and suites opening towards balconies or the garden. A heated pool forms the centre of the grounds, surrounded by lawns, shaded seating and a small pool bar, while breakfast and light meals are served through the day. Bicycles connect the villa with the town’s market, beach clubs and tree-lined streets.
