“Forte Dei Marmi only hotel with sea views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

We did quite allot of research into hotels in Forte Dei Marmi before booking the Il Negresco and we couldn’t find another with a sea view as most of the properties along the sea front are private homes. It's a 15 minute walk into town and there are few nearby bars and restaurants. Our room was on the top (fourth) floor and also had a balcony where we enjoyed our breakfast on a couple of mornings and for watching the sunset. The hotel has a nice pool with an excellent large Jacuzzi and plenty of sun beds with umbrellas. Staff on Reception were particularly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Breakfast was fine without being exceptional apart from the fresh fruit which was especially good. We will happily recommend this hotel to friends.

Room Tip: Sea facing !

“Perfect and memorable stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

We have spent many family vacations in Il Negresco and are pleased to see it improve consistently over time.
The service is peronalised and friendly making us feel welcome.
The restaurant offers excellent meals served in a traditional style dining room .
The proximty to the beach just across the street and the view of the sea make this stay even more enjoyable , convenient and relaxing.
A real treat and Italian art of living .

“Was glad to leave!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

We were expecting beautiful views of sea, but our room overlooked a carpark and construction site instead. The room was also smaller than we expected but was spotlessly clean.

The hotel was about a kilometre away from the centre of town. Be warned - taxis are few and far between in Forte dei Marmi and very expensive. It cost 20 euro for trip from station to the hotel. I would advise pre-booking before your arrival. Bikes can be hired for 7 euro a day from the hotel. We weren't warned that access to the beach was not included and that all the beaches in area are private costing between 60-150 euro a day to access.

If you are happy to pay extortionate prices to lie on beach or want to shop in designer stores then this hotel is perfect. Unfortunately we were bored after a couple of days. We ended up paying a fortune in taxi fares to the station to day trip elsewhere.

Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very helpful.

Dear Client,

after carefully reading your comments in regards to Forte dei Marmi and our Hotel, I am sorry to learn that your stay was not up to your expectations. Having said this I feel it is necessary to clarify some of the negative aspects that you found, which are regretfully about the destination and not the quality of our structure.
Our hotel offers different room categories: Classic mountain view, Classic and Superior sea view, understandably with different rates. The room you was allocated was a Mountain View room at the back of the hotel, exactly the type of room you choose and booked, which makes me slightly disappointed to read that you expected a sea view room despite booking a different category.

However, it was a pleasure to offer you a complementary bottle of Prosecco and flowers as a small gift from us seeing as your were on your honeymoon.
The hotel is located about 1 kilometre from the centre of town, roughly a 10 minute walk, a distance which fortunately allows us to escape the inevitable noise which every evening in a busy seaside town is created.

Generally speaking it is obviously necessary to know that Forte dei Marmi is an exclusive destination, and consequently with higher than average prices, be it in a designer clothes store or high quality hand made goods store. It is true that to access the beaches you must pay, but it must be taken into consideration that it is related to a ‘daily rental’ of the parasols and sun loungers or family tents, and that the beaches are also kept up to a very high standard. However prices do vary depending on the category of beach establishment chosen, and a public beach is available within Forte dei Marmi.

Finally I would like to thank you on behalf of the staff for your appreciation of the quality of the breakfast and the availability of the staff, which in fact we put a lot energy and attention into providing.

“Boutique hotel, elegant and comfortable place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I spent 3 nights at this hotel while on business. The staff were friendly and helpful,and I really liked being in a small hotel (3 floors). I did not notice an elevator and this could pose a problem for those travellers who cannot manage the stairs.
The rooms are furnished in a simple and elegant style, timber parquet flooring, classic style marble bathrooms and the bed was very, very comfortable. I especially enjoyed that I could open the patio door to allow in fresh air. I chose a room facing away from the ocean as I wanted to sleep with the door open and not have the noise of passing traffic (limited as it is).
The hotel has a beautiful pool and is located across the road from the beach - neither of which I used due to the cold November weather.
Close by to the hotel is the high fashion area Forte Di Marmi and in the other direction the town of Carrara.
Included in the room rate was the breakfast - Italian style (coffee, pastries, cheese, toast etc).
I lookforward to my next visit to this hotel.

Room Tip: Choose a mountain facing room - quiet and cheaper
