Residenza Palazzo Visdomini

The luxury of a grand hotel combined with the simplicity of your own home...

This is the philosophy of the Palace Residence of Visdomini di Pietrasanta, a prestigious resort where the charm of elegant surroundings blends with the atmosphere of a unique city and class of its guests.

First and foremost, it is Pietrasanta itself. It has been the cultural capital of Versilia since the time of Michelangelo Buonarroti. The town, embraced by the Apuane alps and Tyrrhenian sea, is one of the world art centres, rich in traditions and laboratories of marble and numerous art foundries,where all the great international artists produce their work in marble and bronze with the aid of the skilled local workers and patronage, which can be felt in the streets and in the square.

Here it is easy to stumble across leading figures from the cultural life of Versilia: from Cascella and Yan Kasuda to Jean Michel Folon, Igor Mitoraj and Fernando Botero.

Today, Pietrasanta, which is also called little Athens for its rich culture, is a fashionable place for international tourism. Plus to the craft shops you will find numerous art galleries and restaurants where you can taste typical products from the best Tuscan cuisine.

A few years ago, an architect from Pietrasanta, Marco Bascherini, carefully restored the building, which was erected in the late nineteenth century.

It once belonged to a noble Florentine family who turned it into their residence. The property was conceded by the Marquis Ernesto Umberto Dazzini Visdomini and it was transformed for welcoming guests.

Palazzo Visdomini is set right in the historic centre, in the heart of this architectural treasure.

Situated at the foot of the hills near the sea, Pietrasanta is a small city of considerable artistic and cultural importance. Florence is 80 Km away from the Residence, which can also be reached by train (the station is 500 metres away).
