Beach
Pietrasanta has always been an important cultural centre in Versilia, The artisan tradition has been kept alive by local workshops and atelier and by many bronze foundries. The artistic context has functioned as catalyst for many Italian and foreign artist who have chosen Pietrasanta as their privileged location. The nearby Marina has a fine sandy beach stretching for about five kms with a transparent blue sea whose depth degrades sweetly.
Palazzo Guiscardo takes its name from the founder of the town of Pietrasanta, Guiscardo Pietrasanta, whom in the year 1255, as the then authority of Lucca, gave his own insignia of nobility to the antique medieval settlement.
Palazzo Guiscardo is situated in an original Liberty style building that dates back to the 1800s. During the transformation into a hotel we have been careful to respect its original style, in order to preserve and highlights the characteristic elements of the period.
The hotel comprises 8 rooms of which 1 suite and 3 junior suites are furnished in different ways, with antique furniture and canopy-beds, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The style and manners are those of a private home, with the services of a grand hotel.
