Largo Shelley, 18
San Giuliano Terme
Pisa , 56017

Once loved by the Etruscans and the ancient Romans, Bagni di Pisa Natural Spa Resort became famous for the nobility all over Europe in 1743, when the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Francesco Stefano of Lorena, made it his own summmer spa residence, as well as a fashionable meeting place which had among its other importnt guests well-known people such as Gustav of Sweden, George IV of England, Vittorio Alfieri, Percy B. and Mary Shelley, Ibrahim Pascià, The Cardinal of York and Carlo Goldoni.

We committed ourselves to raise from its ashes a phoenix which appeared to be vanished forever. Our architects, interior decorators and designers knew how to interpret the philosophy of the STB group (our Wellness Spa Company) in the best way, giving back the soul to the walls of this historical abode, blooming again in all its splendor. Our personnel makes the picture perfect since you will be at the center of the most absolute exclusive attention in every moment, but always with discretion.

The setting of this jewel of well-being is art, history, Pisa, Lucca, nature and the Maritime Park of San Rossore and the social life of Versilia. To walk in the footsteps of the illustrious guests among the arcades in terracotta embellished with citris fruit or to go along the wellness path to the Kafe' Haus for the view as far as the sea is an unforgettable unique experience.

In the rooms the view of the starry sky are blended in by the pastel colors of the frescoed vaulted ceilings from the 1700s, with hanging lofts with wooden floors to admire them better and be cradled by history. From the windows you can admire the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Rooms have retractable TV LCD which doesn't affect the atmosphere, adaptable air-conditioning for the desired temperature, marble and smooth crushed stone floors to relive history, bathrooms with two sinks, a shower and a separate bath tub.

Via Morin, 67
Forte dei Marmi , 55042
Italy



Built: 2010
Rooms: 28
Suites: 6

Principe's design exemplifies an accurate, linear structure which differs from much of the rest of Forte dei Marmi's architectural style. Instead of round arches and pillars, straight lines and sharp forms have been used. The building has bold wooden windows which are framed with steel and wooden fins which can be removed and used as sun blinds. The facade of Principe is eye catching due to the regular window designs that break up each side of the building and create deep architectural lines.

From inside these windows capture the late afternoon sunlight and illuminate rooms with soft shadows and cascading light effects.

The entrance area is asymmetric and features a stylish glass and steel roofing immediately shading guests from the heat of the day and easing them straight into the comfort of the hotel. From the entrance, guests can look through the entire building due to the glass walls and doors to the garden at the back and the outdoor pool. Immediately the hotel gives a sense of space infused with natural light.

The serenity and elegance of the building continues on the floors above where 28 individually designed bedrooms with glass fronted bathrooms can be found. Each one gives a sense of freedom and sophistication. The materials used in the common areas and bedrooms are limited to wood, natural stone, neutral textiles, leather and a great deal of glass to create transparency, elegant simplicity and ease. The floors are made of oak whilst natural Spanish stone has been used to design the top quality features adding individual luxury to each room.
