Italian Elixir

Italian Elixir: Tuscany

Within walking distance of several beaches, including Giuliana and San Camillo, this Forte dei Marmi apartment is calling all sun worshippers. Apart from a stand-out location, we found the compact balcony a nice touch. Spy sea views from the balcony when you're not sitting down for meals in the open dining and living space. The pull-out single bed in the second bedroom is best suited to younger guests who wouldn't mind being low on the ground. And speaking of, little ones will enjoy the communal garden, where new friends can be made. Bright, plenty comfortable and drop-your-bags-and-go close to the coast. What's not to like?

Home truths:
*Speak with your host to learn more about parking here.
*The pull-out bed in the second bedroom might be best suited to kids.
*The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
*You'll have access to the garden here. It's shared with the building's other residents.
*Your host provides a starter supply of toiletries. The nearest supermarket for stocking up is minutes away.
