When the Manetti family of Florence chose Viareggio as the site for their vacation home, they wanted a villa large enough to accommodate their friends as well. In 1928, Villa Tina was built: a stately residence on the seafront, designed by architect Mario Padovani, with furnishings by Carlo Spicciani.
The Carrara marble shapes the monumental staircase. In the rooms, the mosaics and wooden furniture showcase meticulous craftsmanship; the stained-glass windows add an Art Nouveau touch to the neoclassical and Renaissance-inspired decor.
In 1963, the villa was converted into a hotel and an additional floor was added. The original furnishings continue to welcome guests: today, you can enjoy breakfast and linger for a chat in the very rooms that once served as the family’s living quarters.
