A Private Estate in Forte dei Marmi
Set within the residential fabric of Forte dei Marmi, Villa Gloria is conceived as a discreet private estate, withdrawn from the public street behind its own gated entrance and a perimeter of mature planting. A second carriage access at the rear of the lot allows for separate, private use of the guest house, designed so that staff and service can move without ever crossing the principal residence. Inside the boundary, the composition unfolds in a calm sequence of stucco volumes, deep portici and shaded pompeiane, set among gardens that wrap and connect the two houses. Each villa reads as a free-standing residence; together they form a single coherent estate, designed to feel as intimate as a private home and as generous as a country retreat..
Mediterranean Elegance, Contemporary Functionality
The architectural language of Villa Gloria has been composed to combine the classical elegance of the Mediterranean villa tradition with the precision and comfort of high-level contemporary design. The composition is calm and timeless — soft stucco volumes, deep portici, pompeiane verandas, generous loggias — but every plan, every height, every service has been resolved to the standards expected of an ultra-prime residence built today. The result is a villa designed not to follow a fashion but to outlast one.
A Garden in Two Voices
The garden is conceived as an extension of the architecture rather than as its setting. Pompeiane verandas on the ground floor of both residences draw the indoors outward beneath layered Mediterranean planting; the principal terrace opens onto its pool through a portico calibrated to frame the Apuan Alps that rise behind the lot. A second pool is held in its own private compartment beside the guest house, offering a separate wellness experience without compromising the privacy of either residence. Underfoot, sustainable Drenatech driveways and impermeable hardscape have been chosen so that the green prevails in every line of sight.
