The Hotel Stella Della Versilia is a bit hidden in the second street from the boulevard along the beach, about 1 km from the center of Massa di Marina, and only 200 m from the beach. It is surrounded by a beautiful small park with a small fitness facility and sunbeds spread over the park. Our room (a suite) was very spacious and had all the 4-star comfort you would expect. Style is maybe more important than functionality, but everything is well-maintained, working and modern. Beds are great, and it is really silent at night. The hotel offers a small spa, an outside pool with limited size, a bar and a nice restaurant with surprisingly good cooking. The choice of dishes is somewhat limited, but food is fresh and prices are fair. Staff is really very helpful, friendly and service-oriented, and that is a big plus. The hotel is owned by the Buffon family (one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time), and there are memorabilia of his career in several areas. It provides an excellent base for a holiday at the coast, both for couples and families with young children. There is a free large monitored parking place with a separate entrance, so no need to worry about parking your car.

Nothing

The location of the hotel is excellent for those travelling with a car and wanting to be in the middle between La Spezia (for Cinque Terre) and Pisa, Lucca and Firenze. Parking is private and free. The hotel and our room were neat and modern, The room was spacious enough, with 2 balconies, one in the bedroom and the other in the bathroom. The staff were very helpful giving us new locations to visit such as Pietrasanta and Il Ponte del Diavolo. Breakfast was also very good.

Honestly, nothing to comment here.

Location, the hotel, the big nice garden and safe parking. The reception ladies were nice and helpful. Good bed mattresses.

- Difficult to have everything put in place for the breakfast (we always had to kindly ask the waitresses for setting-up the table, bringing the coffee, etc). They were mainly concerned of chatting between them than organising stuff. - Sometimes they were not refilling the empty breakfast plates - Always noisy too early in the morning for cleaning works (the lady started banging doors around 7 o'clock.. this is not nice while you're in holidays!) Please, please repair the elevator door from the 2nd floor!

Our experience was good. The condition of our room was excellent. Specially swimming pool view. Open buffet for breakfast was very rich and so tasty. Hotel staff was so helpful and friendly. Second parking place is so big and not far away from main hotel entrance. Specially recommended for couples.

Hotel doesn't has any indoor facilities for children. They have only open air children playing area. Wellness center entrance fee is available only for one hour. Restaurant worked only for dinner time. Swimming pool is too small for 4 star hotel categories. Hotel concept mostly suitable only for adults.

Where to start?....from parking lot,to front yard,to lobby,reception, room,bathroom,restaurant, pool,outdoor patio,garden,breakfast...... This place is AMAZING!! It deserves not A+ but triple AAA+. We traveled thru Europe on vacation and our only regret was we couldn't stay longer. This facility overwhelmed us. Room wasn't very big but sufficient and comfortable for 2 people. Bathroom was a masterpiece. Marble from floor to ceiling, huge shower, modern and spectacular look over all We went for dinner to their restaurant on side, again.....amazing experience. My wife only worried we were casually dressed and was little uncomfortable upon entering the restaurant, but soon more casually dressed people came so her worries disappeared. Waiters very helpful and welcoming, food exceptional Breakfast had probably 8 different varieties of croissants and other delicious items. Bread,buns,fruits, fresh juices, cheese, meat, yogurt and of course amazing coffee. The only problem or rather small issue we had was the fact we couldn't locate the facility in the evening before when we arrived. It's actually little further away, perhaps 100yards from the position your GPS will give you. This place is a gem hidden but worth the effort once you get there. We're giving them absolutely 10 and we wish we could give them even more. We will be back! 100%

There was nothing you couldn't like about this place

Quiet, clean, cozy hotel. 2 convenient parkings with plenty of space. Breakfast from 8, with a take-away option, if you need to travel early. For football fans: this hotel belongs to the Buffon family, so you will find some interesting football memorabilia around the reception desk. The hotel offers food during the day (also during the siesta time) and evening and its quality is superb. It's 5 minute walk from the beach. The beach is paid, but it is worth it.

none

An intimate cozy hotel close to the beach with a lavish garden and secular trees surrounding the estate, away from the street noise. Very appropriate for families to switch off and relax. The restaurant is amazing, aside from the fantastic dishes, the chef will gladly make whatever dishes you ask for even if they are not in the menu. The staff is very friendly and professional

The kids would’ve loved to spend more time at the play ground, but it is rather small and the seat of the baby swing was broken.

Number 1 asset of this hotel is the staff. The whole team from the restaurant and breakfast was just amazing, especially Sergio who saved our trip with his travel advices as the weather was horrible during our stay. A plus for the football fans are the nice souvenirs displayed at the hotel. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good and prices were fair. Breakfast was very nice, only thing missing for me were some fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and some fresh fruits( it was only offered an already prepared fruit salad).

The bathroom in our room(112) definitely needed to be repainted as the ceiling was full of mold and cracks from the humidity. It was the first time in a hotel, especially a 4 star one, where we were not offered some coffee option in the room, not even some basic instant coffee, even though we nicely asked about it. Cleaning ladies start their work before 8!!! As the sound isolation is very poor and you can hear everything, this means you need to wake up during your vacation at that time as well. Is really frustrating.

The room size and furniture is amazing and supplied with all amenities needed and the staff were friendly and helpful with good manners and made everything possible to make our stay comfortable and unforgettable.

The shuttle services to forty di marmi was limited up to 8PM which is the last one and it was really difficult and so costly to have i taxi from forty di marmi to the hotel in marina di massa it cost like 50 € per trip and one way I believe the hotel should extend there shuttle services to forty di marmi up to mid night as a complement to there guests.

Nice hotel, located in close proximity to the sea (10min walking) The rooms and spaces are modern and well kept, and the hotel offers different amenities such as Spa, gym and parking. The breakfast was good, with quite some variety, and the staff at the reception were very kind.

Given that there was just one person in charge for the breakfast, the service was very slow as well as the cleaning of dirty tables and the food was not replaced unless it was asked
