viareggio
 

can anyone advise any nice hotels to stay with kids around viareggio or along that area?

With the area do you mean the " versilia ".

Where do you want to stay exactly? Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, etc.?

Beach or mountain?!

*, **, ***, ****, ****S, ***** or *****L Hotel?!

thanks for your quick reply.
yes i do mean that area..
as for the town i really dont mind,was looking for any ideas of something not so expensive to take small kids.
i was looking for beach ,but wouldnt say no to some nice mountain area..

" not so expensive " is quite difficult in this area.

When do you want to go there? Most hotels offer in high season only full board or at least half board.

Will you have a car?

I personally prefer Forte dei Marmi, but there is nothing " not expensive ". But you should go there on wednesday, when there will be the market.

Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta or Montignoso should be your choise, if you want to stay near the beach. Take at least a *** hotel.

Pietrasanta is nice, if you want to stay a little bit away from the beach, but not to far away. There is a connection by bus or train to nearly every versilia location.

yes i will have a car
thanks

looking at the beaches in the via reggio area they all seem to be pay beaches.
are there no free ones??

There are some free beaches, one between Forte dei Marmi and Cinquale ( Montignoso ), one between Forte dei Marmi and Marina di Pietrasanta etc..

Look for " spiaggia libera ".

For searching: " spiaggia libera versilia ".

We were at the beach at Viareggio today and there is a free beach right next to the chair/lounge rental area
