| Page Views: 1,255 Last Visit to Forte dei Marmi: May, 1978 | Forte dei Marmi by uglyscot - last update: May 30, 2006 |
My first real holiday in Italy was to Forte dei Marmi, a resort popular with Italians.We had rented a villa for a few weeks. My parents had rented a villa for a few weeks [Villa Olivia]. They had travelled by LandRover from Scotland with my sister in-law and her two children; we flew from Khartoum. The villa was roomy enough for all of us, with a nice garden. A cook was provided in the rental, and she was brilliant. Chicken roasted with potatoes with lemon and rosemary- delicious.
The big disappointment was the beach. Most areas were owned by hotels, so we were forced to frequent the free beach. It was more like a public dumping ground with plastic bottles etc, mounds of sea debris including seaweed.
Instead we went for trips to places like Pisa, Florence, Massa di Carrara, Viareggio , Lerici, and other places along the coast. |

Beaches are the same in Forte. You can decide to pay a fortune and stay there or you can go elsewhere. Public beach is also an option, but it is usually very very crowded | CliffClaven Fri Jan 19, 2007 10:17 UTC

In Poland all beaches at the seaside are accessible to the public, hotels can't have their own. Nice little page. |
