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.
History
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.
