No formal minimum age is advertised; however, the intimate, classic atmosphere particularly suits couples and adults seeking a refined base rather than a family resort with entertainment.

President Viareggio occupies a privileged position on Piazza Mazzini, right on the resort’s elegant seafront promenade. Step outside and you’re immediately on the palm-lined lungomare, where Liberty-style facades frame boutiques, gelaterie and seafood restaurants.

The golden-sand beach is just across the road, and like many Italian Riviera shores, much of it is private lido. Staying here, you benefit from complimentary use of one parasol and two deck chairs per room from around 1 May to 30 September in the hotel’s allocated section – a big plus on this stretch of coast.

Beyond the beach, Viareggio’s grid of streets hides smart shops, cafés and bars. Pisa and Lucca are an easy train or car ride away, making this an excellent base for combining sea air with Tuscan sightseeing.

• Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 100m (along the promenade)
