Una bella esperienza...a culinary experience to remember. Executive Chef Valentino Cassanelli delights in traditional Tuscan cuisine with a contemporary twist. Having worked in London's Locanda Locatelli and Nobu, Chef Cassanelli brings his contemporary flare to Tuscan cuisine at Lux Lucis in the Hotel Principe Forte dei Marmi, the Hamptons of Italy.
Situated on the rooftop terrace of the Hotel Principe, Lux Lucis has a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere with a stunning backdrop of the marbled Apuane mountains in the distance.
Take in the lovely views and enjoy a sunset apertivo and amuse bouche at 67 Sky Lounge Bar before moving into the restaurant to indulge in a 5,7 or 9 course tasting menu.
