Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Dream Beverly Park Residence in Tirrenia, Italy!
Tirrenia, Take My Money! (…Eventually!): My Unfiltered Take on "Unbelievable Luxury Awaits" in Beverly Park!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just spent a week pretending to be fancy at the "Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Dream Beverly Park Residence" in Tirrenia, Italy. And let me tell you, the marketing team wasn't lying. Sort of. It's… complicated. But in a good way! Mostly.
First Impressions & Immediate Gratification (Or Lack Thereof):
Driving through the gates, my jaw actually dropped. The place oozes that sun-drenched, "I'm richer than you and your student loans" vibe. Immaculate lawns, palm trees swaying (duh, it's Italy!), hinting at that mythical “Beverly Park” promised land. Check-in? Smooth. Except, I’m a total spaz and locked myself out of the car five minutes later, but the concierge dealt with it like I was a delicate flower, not a bumbling idiot. Score one for the “doorman” and “concierge” services. They even have “contactless check-in/out” which is a lifesaver for germaphobes (and frankly, anyone who hates small talk).
Accessibility: The Reality Check (And a Sigh of Relief):
Now, let's get real. My Grandma Agnes, bless her heart, uses a wheelchair. So, accessibility is HUGE for me. And while the website mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," I'm always skeptical. BUT! This place actually delivered. The “elevator” was a godsend, and the rooms I saw (and one I snooped in, shhh!) were genuinely spacious and well-designed for wheelchairs with "accessible features" seamlessly integrated. Kudos, Beverly Park, you actually thought about this! (But, Granny Agnes still might need her own bathroom phone, just sayin’.)
The Room (And the Battle with the Blackout Curtains):
Let's talk about the room. Glorious! Think oversized, marble-floored, and dripping with "complimentary tea" and "free bottled water." My room had a "separate shower/bathtub" which meant I could luxuriate in bubbles while ignoring my emails. The "desk" was actually usable (score!), and those blackout curtains? OMG! They were a life-saver. Seriously, after a day of sun and gelato, those curtains were my best friend. The "seating area" was perfect for pretending I had important business calls, even though I was just gorging on biscotti. The "linens"? Crisp, white, and delightfully unnecessary. I mean, who needs that many pillows? (Answer: Me. I need all of them). Also, there’s a “scale.” Thanks, Beverly Park, for the subtle reminder of my gelato consumption.
Wi-Fi, Internet, and the 21st Century (Almost):
"Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" Yes! And it worked! I could stream my guilty pleasure (Real Housewives of Tirrenia, obviously – just kidding… mostly) without any buffering. They also offer "Internet access – LAN" so presumably, they have the technology - though I’m too lazy to use it. Also, they claim to have “Wi-Fi for special events.” Fine. I might be throwing a cocktail party on the terrace. Because why not?
Amenities Galore (And Some Minor Gripes):
- The Pools: Stunning! The “Swimming pool [outdoor]” was what dreams are made of. "Pool with view" that could make even the grumpiest person smile. Pure, unadulterated bliss.
- The Spa: The “Spa/sauna,” "Steamroom," and "Massage"? They have, and I thoroughly tested them all. The "Body scrub" left me feeling like a freshly polished marble statue. I may have spent a little too much time in the sauna. Okay, a LOT. They have “Foot bath” but I used it for a drink – totally kidding!
- Fitness Center: "Gym/fitness" - I walked in, took a deep breath, and promptly retreated to the pool. I'm on vacation.
- Dining & Drinking: This is where things get… interesting.
- Breakfast: "Breakfast [buffet]" was decent, with a "Breakfast [buffet]" that actually had something for everyone ("Asian breakfast", "Western breakfast"). Though I'm still baffled by the "Asian cuisine in restaurant" in the middle of Italy. Also, the "Breakfast in room" is perfect for those days when you just can't bear to face the world (which, let's be honest, is most days on vacation).
- Restaurants: There’s an "A la carte in restaurant," and multiple "Restaurants," including a "Vegetarian restaurant." (I didn't try any - I'm a meat-eater.)
- Bars: The "Poolside bar", the "Bar" – perfection. "Happy hour" is sacred. End of story. (But they’re missing a proper Aperol spritz!)
Cleanliness & Safety: The New Normal (and a Sigh of Relief #2):
Okay, let's talk COVID. Beverly Park takes it seriously. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," the whole shebang. I even noticed "Individually-wrapped food options." While it’s a little overkill for my liking I can't fault them, it’s comforting to know they’re trying. And, thank god, they have "Hand sanitizer" everywhere. Plus, "Staff trained in safety protocol."
Things to See & Do (Because You Can’t Just Eat and Tan All Day, Right?):
Well, you can, but… Tirrenia is actually a cute little town, and Florence is so close you could probably walk there. The concierge can help you figure this stuff out, but I highly recommend renting a scooter. Just…be careful. And maybe wear a helmet. (I didn't.)
What's Missing (Because Perfection Doesn't Exist):
- More Aperol Spritzes: Seriously, they need to up their game in the cocktail department.
- A proper gelato shop: There’s a "Coffee shop" but I want a GELATERIA, dammit!
- My own personal masseuse: Just kidding…mostly.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
YES! (With some caveats).
Here's the deal in a nutshell:
- Pros: Unbelievable luxury, genuinely accessible, beautiful, comfortable rooms, fantastic amenities, great service, takes safety seriously.
- Cons: Can feel a little stuffy at times, could use a gelato shop.
This isn’t just a hotel review; this is a potential love affair.

Escape to Paradise: Uncover the Hidden Gem of Residenza La Canonica, Cerreto, Italy
Okay, buckle up buttercup. We're ditching the pristine, Instagram-perfect travel plan and diving headfirst into the glorious mess that is me on vacation at Beverly Park Residence in Tirrenia, Italy. Consider this less a schedule and more a… living, breathing, mozzarella-and-wine-stained chronicle of my trip.
Beverly Park Residence Tirrenia: The "Let's See What Happens" Itinerary
(Disclaimer: this is subject to change based on my mood, the availability of gelato, and how well I'm managing to translate Italian phrases like "Where is the damn beach?" without sounding like a dying pigeon.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Pasta-Seeking Mission (or, When Does the Aperol Spritz Kick In?)
- Morning (or, When Did the Plane Land?): Arrive in Pisa. Squeeze past the hordes of people desperately trying to hold up the Leaning Tower. Seriously, what’s up with that? It's leaning! Embrace it! Anyway, I'll find someone to take a picture of me with it. Trying to avoid looking like a tourist…it's not working already.
- Afternoon (or, The Hunger Games: Luggage Edition): Finally found the bus to Tirrenia and arrived at Beverly Park. The apartment? Cute enough. Balcony? Yes! Proximity to the pool? Glorious! But…where's the AC? I need cold! Like, Arctic blast levels of cold! Unpack, collapse on the bed, and contemplate the meaning of life (which, at this point, is primarily "where's the nearest supermarket?").
- Evening (or, The Pasta Odyssey): The first meal is crucial. It sets the tone. I'm on a mission: Find. The. Perfect. Pasta. I try the neighborhood "trattoria" from Lonely Planet, which is more like, "Lonely, and possibly haunted by the ghost of a disappointed chef." Ordered the spaghetti alle vongole. The clams? Sandy. The sauce? Bland. My mood? Deflating faster than a punctured beach ball. But the local wine was cheap and plentiful. So, silver linings, people! Silver linings!
Day 2: Beach Bumming and the Existential Dilemma of the Perfect Sandcastle
- Morning (or, The Siren Song of the Beach): Beach time! The real reason I came. Wander the sand with an eye on the horizon from the beach club near Beverly Park. The sand is warm, the water is clear, blue as the heavens. Bliss. I start a sandcastle. The tide begins to come in. I have a crisis as I find a starfish. It's got a face. I swear.
- Afternoon (or, The Great Gelato Debacle): The quest for gelato. This is not a joke. It's a sacred duty. I'm aiming for the "pistachio" flavor. The vendor gives me a look. Like, he understands the gravity of the situation. I get a small cone. I then find that, after eating about 6 bites of pistachio flavor, I ordered the lemon flavor, and I have begun to weep from the sheer happiness. I decide to go back.
- Evening (or, The Aperitivo Hour and the Italian "Strangers"): Oh, the Aperitivo. This is the Italian way of life, right? The sun is setting, the sky is a wash of orange and pink. I find a small "beach bar." The Aperol Spritz is a glorious, fizzy, orange elixir. I meet a couple of locals also enjoying Aperitivo. They seem friendly, and it's fun. I try to chat without murdering the Italian language.
Day 3: Day Trip to Pisa (Again?) and Questionable Souvenir Purchases
- Morning (or, The Hangover Edition): The Aperol, or the pasta, or maybe the sun, hit me hard. I feel it. I vow to drink more water today. I'm in bed until 10.
- Afternoon (or, The "I Need a Souvenir, STAT!" Panic): Pisa. Round two. This time, focusing on actual landmarks. Maybe a few shops as well. I fall for a "handpainted" ceramic plate that probably came from a mass-production factory. It has an alarming picture of a screaming woman on it. It will make a perfect conversation starter, right? (Narrator: It will not.)
- Evening (or, The Pizza Predicament): Tonight is pizza night. I find a place. This seems authentic. The pizza? Overwhelmed in toppings. I love it anyway. The glass of wine is, as always, welcome. I'm finally beginning to get the rhythm of Italian life. This is the sweet life.
Day 4: Relaxation, Reflection, and Re-evaluating Life Choices (aka “Why Did I Pack So Many Clothes?)
- Morning (or, The Sleep-In of Champions): Sleeping in. Actually, I don't need to be anywhere or do anything. I doze in the sun.
- Afternoon (or, The Poolside Existential Crisis): I start to ask myself: why am I wearing these ridiculous shoes that were on sale? Why am I in front of the pool? Should I have gotten a different job? Did I bring enough sunscreen? I feel the weight of my adult life, and it threatens to crush me. I take a dip in the pool and everything is better.
- Evening (or, The "One Last Meal" Farewell Dinner): I'm leaving. The feeling is bittersweet. I want to stay forever. I will miss the sun and the food. I decide to go to the restaurant again. It's pasta, again.
Day 5: Departure and the Promise to Return (and Learn Italian)
- Morning (or, The "Goodbye, Beautiful Italy" Tears): Last breakfast. I soak up the sunshine, and then it's time to go. It is emotional.
- Afternoon (or, The Travel Blues): At the airport. Wait in the plane.
- Evening (or, The "I'm Already Planning My Return"): Arriving home. I'm full of memories, the taste of pasta, and the promise to begin learning Italian immediately. Until next time, Italy! Ciao!
And that, my friends, is the unvarnished truth of my Italian adventure. Remember, not every trip needs to be a perfect photo op. Sometimes, the best stories come from the moments when everything goes a little bit wrong (or, in my case, hilariously messy). Cheers to the imperfections, the sandy clams, and the Aperol Spritz that makes it all worthwhile!

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Your Dream Beverly Park Residence in Tirrenia, Italy! - Frequently Asked Questions (and My Thoughts!)
Okay, so *exactly* how "luxury" are we talking? Like, can I invite Beyoncé over for a barbecue luxury?
Alright, let's cut to the chase. "Luxury" in Tirrenia, Italy. It's not *quite* Beyoncé-level, unless Bey's really into Italian charm. (And she should be, honestly.) Think… imagine you're used to good stuff. Really, really good stuff. Now, dial that up. Up a LOT. Think sprawling gardens, maybe a private pool that’s actually *long* enough to swim laps (a HUGE win, trust me!), and probably a ridiculously fancy chef's kitchen where I'D, personally, probably burn toast. But hey, the intent is there, right?
And the devil's in the details! I saw someone on the property listing mention *heated* floors. HEATED FLOORS! I get cold feet, okay? This is a game changer.
What's the deal with Tirrenia itself? Is it just… beaches?
Beaches are a HUGE part of it. Glorious, sandy, "take-a-nap-in-the-sun-and-forget-about-everything" beaches. But listen, Tirrenia is more than just sand. It's that lovely coastal vibe. You’re near Pisa (leaning tower alert!), you’re close to Florence (hello, art!), and there's this charming, laid-back atmosphere. Think less "tourist rat race" and more "genuine Italian life." (Though, let's be honest, I'd probably get lost trying to order a pizza. My Italian is… nonexistent. Still, points for trying!)
I once tried to order a gelato in… well, it wasn't Tirrenia, but it was Italy… and accidentally asked for a "talking donkey" instead of pistachio. The girl behind the counter just stared at me. Mortifying. But hey, it's a story, right?
Is this place kid-friendly? My offspring are… energetic.
This is a good question. Energetic offspring? Well, let's just say the gardens are big… REALLY big. There’s likely space for them to run wild and possibly, *possibly*, release some of that energy. (Fingers crossed for you!) Pools are always a winner, and the beach... well, kids + sand + water = (usually) happy, albeit slightly sandy, kids. I’d be worried about the pristine interiors, though. That's where the real test is. It might vary depend on the properties, so check the listing. I hope they didn't have a "no-spillage" policy!
I do not want to see the look on their face if an expensive vase is broken. Oh the humanity!
What are the downsides? (Because, come on, there are *always* downsides.)
Okay, the truth bomb. Besides the fact that I, personally, can't afford this (sob!), here's what I'm thinking:
- Maintenance: Big houses, big responsibilities. Gardens need tending, pools need cleaning, etc. You'll either need staff or a serious green thumb. Or both, probably.
- Proximity to the "Real World": Okay, this is more a *potential* downside. You're in a lovely, quiet place. But, if you *need* a bustling city vibe every day, the commute might get old. The distance to shops and transport would need to be taken into consideration.
- The "Italian Summer": The summer is the BEST time to visit Italy, however, the crowds are likely too much for those that want to live in a luxury Italian home.
Of course, these would be problems I would happily accept, however.
How about accessibility? I have mobility issues.
This is IMPORTANT. Check the listing details CAREFULLY. "Luxury" doesn't automatically equal "accessible." You'll need to confirm things like elevators, ramps, and bathrooms that are designed with accessibility in mind. Don't assume. Ask! I know, it can sometimes be awkward, but it’s absolutely essential. Look for detailed descriptions or, even better, pictures that show the layout. If they don't provide the details upfront, ASK. It's YOUR RIGHT.
What if I’m… a dog person? Can I bring my furry best friend?
Ah, the all-important dog question! (I'm a dog person, myself!). This is a biggie! *Always* check the property’s pet policy! Some luxury rentals/sales are more open to dogs than others. Big gardens are definitely a HUGE plus for your furry friend. No one wants a stressed-out dog in a cramped apartment, right? You'll want to know about local vet resources, dog-friendly beaches (YES, they exist!), and potential walking routes. Seriously, read the fine print AND ask. Because a happy dog = a happy owner (and hopefully, less damage to the furniture!).
I got my dog, a ridiculously fluffy Samoyed, and it wasn't the easiest to find a place to live. So I learned this the hard way!
Should I buy or rent? I'm so confused!
Okay, this is a life choice, not just a question. BIG decisions. Renting is ideal if you want to test the waters... see if the Italian lifestyle *really* suits you. You get to experience the luxury without the long-term financial commitment. Buying is, well, a commitment. Think about your lifestyle, your career, your plans for the future. Can you handle the upkeep? Do you see yourself settling there for the long haul? Honestly, I'm more of a "live in the moment" type, but the "serious commitment" things are there to think about.
I have a very complicated relationship with commitment. If I bought it, I’d worry about it for, like, forever. Unless... maybe I *really* wanted a pool with heated floors… then maybe.
So, what's the absolute *best* reason to consider this place?
The absolute best reason? Okay, here we go. It's a chance to *live* the dream. To wake up in a beautiful place, surrounded by beauty, with the sweet scent of sea air and maybe, just maybe, a ridiculously good espresso waiting for you. It's a chance to experience *la dolce vita* – the sweet life. And honestly? After the past few years, we all deserve a little sweetness in our lives. Even if it just involves dreaming about it… for now. (I'll start saving… after I buy that lottery ticket.)
