Forte dei Marmi, an epicentre of luxury

FORTE DEI MARMI: THE EPICENTRE OF LUXURY AND A SPRINGBOARD FOR EXCLUSIVE EXPLORATIONS IN ITALY

Fabrizio Zanetti is the builder and sole director of the construction company Roma Imperiale Luxury Services and, together with his partner Sergey Bashkyrtsev at his brokerage firm Real Estate Advisor, manages business in Forte’s real-estate market. They continually meet wealthy clients from all over the world, because everyone wants a home in Forte, spending sums with many zeros on summer rentals, but above all purchasing villas and parks to transform them into veritable gilded jewels equipped with every comfort.

We speak with them about several interesting considerations and, above all, the projects the two businessmen have planned for the coming months.

Forte dei Marmi’s extraordinary rise on the luxury-tourism scene has revealed the increasingly central role this destination plays as a point of departure or “base” for international high-spending customers during their long holidays.

Drawn by the beauty and exclusivity on offer, these demanding travellers tend to turn their summer stay into a mosaic of mini-holidays within their main holiday, travelling from Forte to other prestigious destinations throughout Italy.

This itinerant style of holiday not only gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves fully in Italy’s cultural and scenic wealth, but also breaks up the possible monotony of a long stay, transforming it into a continuous adventure of wellbeing and discovery of the country’s finest locations.

In response to this trend, “Zanetti & Bashkyrtsev” have extended their vision beyond the sale and construction of luxury villas in Forte dei Marmi, creating two exciting new initiatives: TENET Holding and ERMES Collection.

While TENET Holding focuses on creating luxury villas in other renowned locations across the country, ERMES Collection specialises in acquiring apartments and transforming them into exclusive five-star hotel suites properties.

Among their current projects, the construction of a villa in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, stands out: a paradise extending across 15,000 sq m of parkland and woodland, with 400 sq m of living space and every comfort, including four suites, a gym, cinema, wine cellar, vault, two swimming pools, a jogging trail and a panoramic belvedere terrace.

This island, one of the most enchanting in Italy, offers seascapes and beaches with nothing to envy in faraway Tahiti or other exotic tropical paradises.

Another gem lies in Saturnia, known for its thousand-year-old thermal-wellness traditions, where Zanetti & Bashkyrtsev are developing a villa and a luxury suite near the Terme di Saturnia Resort and wellness club SPA.

Immersed in 120 hectares of unspoilt nature, this location offers an exclusive experience of relaxation and wellbeing, enhanced by a golf course extending across 70 hectares in the picturesque Tuscan Maremma countryside, renowned since Etruscan and Roman times.

In addition, TENET Holding is about to add another extraordinary villa in Trentino to its portfolio, with breathtaking views of the Dolomites, located between Cortina d’Ampezzo and Alleghe.

An ideal alternative for ski enthusiasts, as well as for those seeking a cool summer retreat, this location promises an authentic immersion in nature.

To ensure the exclusivity and comfort of their guests, Zanetti & Bashkyrtsev offer private transfer services to all locations by helicopter, high-speed yacht and luxury van.

They also offer the possibility of reaching Forte dei Marmi for short luxury stays from Italy’s main destinations, making every journey a unique and unforgettable experience.
