Private Transfer — Florence to Forte dei Marmi

More Than a Transfer.
From the City to the Sea.

Through Leonardo's hills, ancient market towns and Tuscan vineyards — or straight to the coast, if you prefer.

The road from Florence to Forte dei Marmi passes through some of the least-visited and most quietly beautiful parts of Tuscany. Once you leave the city behind and head north-west, the landscape opens up — rolling hills, medieval towers, the hilltop village of Vinci where Leonardo was born, the ancient market square of Pistoia, the vine-covered slopes around Montecarlo where a little-known Tuscan white wine has been made for centuries. And then, gradually, the Apuan Alps appear on the horizon, and the road descends toward the sea.

Most people on the train from Florence to Viareggio miss all of this. A private transfer changes the equation entirely.

Your Mercedes driver picks you up directly from your hotel, villa, B&B or agriturismo — anywhere in Florence, Fiesole or the surrounding Florentine hills. No taxi ranks, no shared shuttles, no luggage dragged through a station. We come to your door, load your bags, and take you exactly where you need to go on the Versilia coast.

The direct transfer from Florence to Forte dei Marmi takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. But this road is one of the most varied in Tuscany — and a private transfer means you can stop along the way.

Lunch with a panoramic view at Montecatini Alto, reached by a historic funicular. A cellar tour and tasting at a Montecarlo winery. An hour in the Renaissance walls of Lucca. A photograph at the Campo dei Miracoli in Pisa. Or simply the pleasure of watching Tuscany pass by through the window of a clean, comfortable Mercedes — with no schedule to keep but your own.

We serve all destinations on the Versilia coast — Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Marina di Pietrasanta, Viareggio and the surrounding area. Hotels, private villas, beach clubs — if it has an address, we go there.

A transfer doesn't have to be just a way to get from A to B. With a private vehicle, a flexible schedule and a driver who knows the road, the journey from Florence to the sea can be one of the best parts of your trip — if you want it to be.
