Classic Tuscany abode near the seafront

Coastal gem with lavish Art Deco restaurant and striking sea views, near the beach in Tuscany's Viareggio - includes breakfast and a dining discount

• Buckets full of charm: Well located near the seafront in the Tuscan city of Viareggio, Palace Hotel puts comfort and relaxation at the very heart of your stay. Reminiscent of days gone by, its classic and traditionally-inspired interiors are quintessentially Italian in style, yet will make you feel right at home. Touches of modernity, throughout both the communal areas and the private guest rooms, will also ensure your needs are always well catered for.

• Divine dining experiences: After a day packed with sightseeing or snoozing on the beach, you'll love nothing more than to dine at the hotel restaurant, where the refined Art Deco influences will add a touch of extravagance to your evening. Here you can also feast on delightful breakfasts, made up of home-made pastries and organic produce. During the high season, head to the bar to enjoy the far-reaching sea views - and a tipple or two, of course.

• Havens of style and convenience: With just 72 guest rooms across four floors, you're guaranteed an intimate sojourn at this hotel. Brimming with old-world character, all come equipped with Wi-Fi, an LCD TV with satellite channels, air conditioning, and ultra-comfy beds and seating areas. Some feature a balcony or terrace, or for the cherry on the cake, you could opt to wake up to memorable sea views.
