Bagno Assunta

The beach resort with restaurant and cocktail bar inspired by 1920s resorts in the heart of Roma Imperiale in Forte dei Marmi

by Lavinia Colonna Preti

In the heart of Forte dei Marmi’s most exclusive area, among the beach huts and shade of the pine forest, Bagno Assunta celebrates the ritual of lunch by the sea and days spent under a tent, today guided by the vision of the Maestrelli family.

Bagno Assunta is a historic beach resort nestled in the tranquility of Roma Imperiale, the most exclusive neighborhood in Forte dei Marmi, founded in the 1920s as a “garden city” and famous for its majestic villas nestled in a centuries-old pine forest.

A place steeped in the charm of authentic Versilia, its name, as was almost always the case in Forte dei Marmi in the past, is an affectionate tribute to the matriarch of the founding family, Signora Assunta.

The Maestrelli Family Guide

Recently joining the Maestrelli family’s Collezione Em universe, Bagno Assunta has managed to preserve the intimate, family-friendly, and exquisitely retro atmosphere that has characterized Italian holidays for generations, while elevating the experience to new standards of contemporary excellence.

An unbreakable bond with the Maestrelli family’s great hospitality is also reflected in the nearby Pensione America, the charming hotel where old-world elegance and a warm welcome offer the perfect extension of that authentic Forte dei Marmi dream that begins each morning on the sun loungers at Bagno Assunta.

The Cuisine: Great Classics of the Tuscan Coast

At the heart of the Bagno Assunta culinary experience is a profound respect for the raw materials of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The kitchen offers a menu that celebrates Tuscan seafood tradition with essential dishes and great classics.

From the warm Tyrrhenian fish salad with bread crumble and anchovies to, among the first courses, the true stars of Forte dei Marmi’s midday meal, the iconic Spaghetti with clams, an absolute coastal must, and the Tagliolini with clams and bottarga, all the way to main courses like the mixed fried fish with calamari, shrimp, and seasonal vegetables or the fillet of sea bass island-style.

Lunch under the Traditional Beach Tents and Signature Mixology

For those who want to relax on the beach, Bagno Assunta has also created ideal options for a light lunch to enjoy directly under your tent, such as the classic Parma ham and melon or the historic focaccia and pita bread.

All this is paired with a signature cocktail menu specifically designed to complement a seaside lunch, featuring fresh, aromatic, and botanical drinks that evoke the scents of the coast.

Between a chilled glass of Vermentino wine, a stroll along the shore, and a chat under the tents, Bagno Assunta celebrates the perfect “art de vivre” that has made Forte dei Marmi an international legend.

The Secret

The aromatic herbs such as lemon thyme and basil, used to refresh signature cocktails like the Bellini delle Apuane or the Forte 1926, as well as the seasonal vegetables that accompany the fried fish and seafood, come from small producers in the Versilia hinterland and the Lucca plain.
