The programme

Friday 24 June

Time: 20:00
We will start off the weekend with an informal Welcome Party on the beach at the SoleMare, a stone’s-throw away from the hotel.  (Google Maps directions).

We will be expecting you from 20h00 for cocktails, followed by an apéro/dinatoire, during which you will be presented a very diverse range of excellent small Italian dishes. The dinner will be served all through the evening, so no worries for those arriving a bit later. (Parking in the premises of the Solemar are available for free, but you can also make the 5 min walk by foot from the hotel).

Dress code: casual chic, light or lively colours
Women: summer dress, any length. (Bring something warm for the late hours).
Men: long trousers/shirt, jacket optional. No shorts, no tongues, please.

Saturday 25 June

Time: 19:30
On Saturday, we will be hosting you at our house – Villa Maria Luisa – up in the Versilia hills, overlooking the bay of Forte dei Marmi and the Tuscan coast.
The address is Via Palatina 17, 54038 Montignoso, Massa, behind Osteria da Pié.
Festivities will start at 19:30 with a welcome cocktail, followed by a seated dinner in the garden and of course a big party until the early hours.

You might want to think about car-pooling arrangements. The house is a 10 minutes’ drive up the hill from the hotel. (Google Maps directions)

Dress code : cocktail/festive
Women: cocktail dress any length.
Men: dark coloured jacket, no tie/no blue jeans, please.

You know that we like a mix between tradition and unconventional, so no formal dress codes but just think elegant and festive. 

Sunday 26 June

On Sunday evening, for those who are still around, we propose to meet at the house again for an informal aperitif late in the afternoon, after which we can all go to dinner together at Restaurant Da Pie, a notorious family restaurant situated at the feet of our house, for great Fiorentine steaks and pizza. https://www.lafortezzadapie.it

During the daytime, everyone can organize themselves as wished. As previously indicated, we suggest to visit Lucca, Viareggio, Pietrasanta, Carrara Marble quarries as well as the nearby Forte dei Marmi a great and nice shopping location… Of course, beaches are available in front of your hotel!

The Hotel Villa Undulna also offers unlimited free access to the swimming pool, gym and tennis courts, as well as one free access per person to the wellness area. Please note that you need to make reservations for the wellness area, so have a look at the reception and make sure to book your timeslot in advance.

Since this May, there are no COVID 19 restrictions in Italy. So no need to show PCR test and EU green pass to access restaurants, public places and hotels!

Voilà, looking forward to seeing you in great shape, as usual.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your enthusiastic response to our invitation to celebrate together my birthday in the best possible way. Most of our friends answered to ‘’the call’’ for my 50th anniversary…and it was a great delight for us. We can always count on you 🙂

We are looking forward to receiving you from different parts of the world…from Dakar, Copenhagen, Tokyo, London, Paris, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, not forgetting Switzerland, Brussels and of course Italy.

As we specified in the previous message published on this website, we are covering the fees of the nights on FRIDAY 24th and on SATURDAY 25th JUNE 2022, in the Hotel Villa Undulna Terme della Versilia (which we have privatized!) on the coast of Tuscany, the Versilia.

http://www.termedellaversilia.com
via Gramsci 2 / viale Marina 191 – 54038 Cinquale (MS) (google maps)
T. +39 0585 807788

A secured parking is available at the hotel at no cost. The hotel does not offer a bike rental option.

You’ll have the opportunity to play tennis, swim in the pool, go to the spa and make yourself beautiful with real thermal waters for the two days of events that await you.
Check in at the hotel is from 14h00 on Friday 24th and the check-out on Sunday 26th June at 11h00…don’t worry we are negotiating with the hotel for a later check-out!

For the friends remaining longer in Versilia until Monday 27th, please arrange your stay in the available hotels or on Airbnb, well in advance. You might eventually stay in the Hotel Villa Undulna Terme della Versilia to avoid moving in another hotel, in this case please contact [email protected] for your booking.

As far as the programme is concerned, we are expecting you all, on Friday evening, for a welcome and reunion party…the place is still to be defined but will probably be in the vicinity (at a walking distance) of the hotel.

On Saturday, you will be free to organise your day. Versilia offers countless possibilities for shopping (Forte dei Marmi), visits (Lucca, Pietrasanta, Pisa, Viareggio), excursions (the marble caves in Carrara) … or simply 20 km of beaches, bars and restaurants in front of the hotel..!

However, you should definitely not get tireeed… because we will be waiting for you on Saturday around 8pm at our house, in great shape, a few kms by car from the hotel. The evening promises to be long .

Several friends have made the highly appreciated effort to come for just the weekend, even though, others will move to the interior of Tuscany for a well-deserved extended stay.
You will find below some links with ideas and what to do.

For those remaining on the coast on SUNDAY 26th, there will be an informal diner at our house for a last good bye.

In case of cancellation or delay on Friday 24th June, please inform us asap.

We send you a big kiss.
Renzo & Annejet Hettinger
