Map & location


Viareggio, Tuscany, Italy

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 beach 100m (with 1 parasol & 2 deck chairs per room included 1 May–30 Sep)
  • • Nearest shops, bars & restaurants 100m (along the promenade)
  • • Viareggio resort centre 600m
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes from Pisa (PSA)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


President Viareggio does not have a swimming pool – instead, the focus is firmly on the Tuscan Riviera’s sandy shoreline just across the promenade.

You’re around 100m from the beach, where private lido concessions line the sand. As a guest, you’ll typically receive complimentary use of one parasol and two deck chairs per room between 1 May and 30 September in the hotel’s allocated section, offering excellent value on a coast where paid beach clubs are the norm.

The sea here is generally calm in season, ideal for a refreshing dip after a morning browsing Viareggio’s boutiques or exploring nearby towns.

Spa, sports & wellness


This is a small, city-style seaside hotel rather than a full-scale resort, so facilities are intentionally low-key, centred around comfort and service:

• Refined lobby lounge and bar area for relaxed drinks
• Reception with concierge-style assistance for restaurant bookings and local tips
• Luggage storage, handy for late departures or early arrivals
• Selected baby equipment (such as bottle warmers) available to hire on request (local charge may apply)

There’s no on-site spa, gym or organised entertainment, but you’re well placed to enjoy coastal walks, bike rides along the promenade, and independent exploration of the region’s culture and cuisine.

Activities


This is a relaxed, boutique hotel without a formal animation programme, but its central seafront setting makes it effortless to fill your days:

• Stroll the Liberty-style promenade lined with cafés and gelato bars
• Enjoy long beach days using your included parasol and deck chairs (seasonal)
• Take the train or bus to Pisa’s Leaning Tower or Lucca’s Renaissance walls
• Join local evening passeggiate along the lungomare, stopping for aperitivo
• Explore the Tuscan Riviera’s neighbouring resorts and coastal paths

Any organised tours or excursions (Florence, Chianti, Cinque Terre, etc.) are usually arranged through local operators or the hotel’s concierge desk.

• Concierge-style assistance for restaurant bookings and local recommendations
