Just a five minute walk away from Viareggio's sprawling beaches, this glossy apartment is a calm place to escape to after a busy day by the seaside. Other than a few colourful pieces of artwork, the style inside is sleek and white. It's bright and decked out with all the comforts you'll need while on holiday – Netflix on the smart TVs, a rainfall shower and jacuzzi tub in the bathrooms and a compact yet fully-equipped kitchen. Open the doors to the Juliet balcony and watch the world pass by in the tree-lined Piazza D'Azeglio right outside – a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in hand, depending on the hour – or sink into the plush cream sofa and unwind after a long day in the sun. Speaking of long days, the bars, restaurants and cafes on your doorstep are just begging to be discovered. Set off and find your new favourite – your host can even organise discounts at a few select eateries – then grab your beach gear and sprawl out on the sand under the shade of a rented cabana, watching as the waves crash on the shore.
