Description

This is one of the best new hotels of the year: Pensione America in Forte dei Marmi. Set inside a restored mansion in the Tuscan beach town, the adults-only retreat looks to the area’s midcentury heyday for inspiration. Owner Sara Maestrelli spent years reviving the property, restoring original details and working with local artisans on everything from metalwork to hand-painted wallpaper. The hotel’s pink-orange exterior even references its past, matching the original color uncovered beneath decades of paint.
With its thoughtful restoration and connection to Forte dei Marmi’s history, Pensione America offers a modern take on the Italian seaside escape.
