To pedestrians, Bar Pietrasantese might look like any other sun-soaked piazza spot, but with warm Italian hospitality, an extensive list of cocktails, and a secret bar to boot, it's the perfect spot for a late-afternoon Aperol Spritz. Keep this one to yourself, grazie.

Picture this: you're lying in the shade of the lush leafy garden, there's a stunning salt-water pool on your right and a cocktail to your left. Sounds like a dream, right? Locanda Al Colle offers a tranquil escape in the gorgeous Forte dei Marmi.

We can't get enough of this cosy family hotel set amongst sprawling, verdant gardens. It's just a short walk away from the long sandy beach of Forte dei Marmi. Ideal location? We think so.

Within the grounds of Villa Roma Imperiale, Tennis Roma is one of Forte dei Marmi's most iconic clubs (and among the oldest in Italy). Recently renovated under new owners Constanza and Marco, Tennis Roma still has the glamorous feel of a Bond set and the warmth of Italian hospitality. The gloobles travel team can help arrange an instructor or reserve a court for a quiet match under the trees.
