Viale Regina Margherita

“The Borbone villa on the estate of Viareggio was built on the Viale dei Tigli which connects the seaside town with the village of Torre del Lago. The villa, conceived as a hunting lodge, was built starting from 1821 by the court architect Lorenzo Nottolini for the duchess of Lucca Maria Luisa di Borbone-Spagna. Thus three separate buildings were created, each of three floors, with the central one destined to a noble residence and the lateral ones to stables, warehouses and service dwellings. The large park, which today is part of the reserve of the natural park called Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli at the site now called Lecciona, was cut by the great Viale dei Tigli.”

“Elegant beach club that provides all kind of facilities included gym, swimming pools in open space (olympionic, ordinary and for babies), bar and restaurant.”

“The PIZZA is very good, they also have some traditional pasta and meat or fish dish. The people are friendly and the place is just round the corner!”

“Sitting at their tables on the promenade overlooking the sea in the early morning with a vegan pomegranate brioche or turmeric or a sweet puff pastry overflowing with cream or pistacchio, puddings of all kinds accompanied by the creamy cappuccino or the excellent ginseng is fulfilling. They also prepare great cocktails for aperitifs. Very good cuisine, first and second seafood dishes, excellent pizza and Arabic bread. Good choice of white wines and sparklings.”
