Thankfully, amid the glamour of Tuscany's Riviera, Hotel Byron remains under the radar. To be sure, the villa, formerly a socialite’s home, is rightly upscale – but it is a relaxed chic, one that invites quiet days spent lounging by the pool or dawdling over lunch on the checkerboard-floor terrace. Chef Marco Bernardo’s cuisine is certainly worth lingering over, with his creative take on traditional dishes earning a Michelin star. Completely renovated in 2023, the 47 individually appointed rooms, simple in their elegance, boast sea or garden views, set against a backdrop of the Apuan Alps. High-fashion shops are a stroll away.
