Albergo Pietrasanta

Our take

Pietrasanta is one of Tuscany's best-kept secrets — a marble-carving town that serious artists and sculptors have claimed for decades — and this hotel sits squarely in the middle of it, hung with work from the local scene. The rooms are intimate, the address is irreplaceable. If you're chasing a pool, a spa, or the full resort machinery, look elsewhere along the coast. But for two or three nights inside a town that actually has something to say, nothing else here comes close.
