The UNA Hotel Versilia will open on June 14 along one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines, Versilia, marking a new phase for the UNA Hotels & Resorts chain.

The new structure is situated on the avenue of the beach at Lido di Camaiore (near Lucca) and enriches the offering of high level hotels for the chain in terms of quality of hospitality, innovative and functional architecture and a wide range of services in the business and well-being sectors able to attract clients throughout the year.

The total investment equals approximately 23 million euros and takes up an area of almost three hectares.

The external area of approximately 25,000 sqm was dedicated to green space, with a project costing 450,000 euros for the maintenance and safeguarding of Versilia's natural characteristics including Mediterranean pines and brush enriched by a variety of plants and flowers.

The hotel, which spreads over 10,500 sqm on three levels, is characterized by a modern style and high attention to detail.

The interiors are defined by light colours, furniture and fixtures designed exclusively for the hotel. The design solutions allow natural light to enter all environments.

The plasma screens placed in key points of the hotel are also quite innovative - they will be used to provide information to clients. There is also broadband wi-fi.

The hotel boasts 27 rooms, 42 suits and 30 large one- and two-bedroom apartments.

There are three bars (one is located in the roof garden and offers stunning sea views), an indoor and outdoor pool, a well-being centre with Jacuzzis, a solarium, steam room and two tennis courts.

At the 240 seat restaurant, guests can enjoy delicious local wine and food dishes.

Those seeking relaxation and fun but also business guests can take advantage of the six-room conference centre able to accommodate 700 people.

Angelo La Riccia, Commercial Director of UNA Hotels & Resorts explained, ''The opening of UNA Hotel Versilia represents for us and important goal, and an enlarging of the offering of the chain, already diversified with structures in the main Italian cities, all centrally and conveniently located.

''The group's proposal is not just business but also leisure, and it is the resorts that are most present in Tuscany, our place of origin, for which we have a particular soft spot. After four structures in the countryside (one of which is dedicated to golf) we decided on a beachside resort''.
